Divinity Original Sin 2: One More Stretch Goal Met, Four More Added

Thanks to a very generous donor, Larian’s Divinity: Original Sin 2 Kickstarter has climbed past its 1.35 million “Pick a Skill Tree 2” stretch goal and is now closing in on the next bonus, the Hall of Echoes. Unlocked at 1.5 million, the Hall of Echoes will create a personal living space for the player that they can travel back to at will. Within this new area you will have access to an arena, crafting tables, and portals that lead to the gods themselves. A full run down of the available features can be found on the official Kickstarter page.

  • An arena in which you can test your mettle against your companions (or a variety of creatures)
  • A campfire for waiting companions
  • Powerful figures – attracted by your presence, who make you all kinds of offers
  • Characters you killed in the world may appear here, haunting you or begging you for deliverance – those who follow the path of the Void will even be able to coerce these poor souls into doing their bidding
  • A spectral anvil on which you can craft unique equipment
  • A magical artefact that allows you to craft special skills
  • A bridge to the Void – an eerie, surreal and VERY dangerous place where special loot/spells/dark Source secrets can be found
  • A bridge to the Gods, where you can visit avatars of the Seven
  • The doorway to the Forge- what could happen if you step through the door?
  • Spirits with special requests, and special rewards…
  • Black mirrors that show you visions of other planes
  • Undead creatures that can be convinced to do dark deeds for you

Initially, the Hall of Echoes was to be the final stretch goal, however the speed at which they’ve reached this point has spurred Larian to add four more funding targets after this one:

    $1,650,000 – Dedicated mod tool support!
    We’ll hire a team that will be dedicated to making the editor as intuitive as possible, and who will help the community build all kinds of new awesomeness.
    $1,750,000 – Love/Hate!
    We’ll dedicate more scripters and writers to expand on the dynamic relationship system we’re building. Intense rivalry! Friendship and enmity! And… as so many of you have been asking for it… romance!
    $1,850,000 – Metamorphosis… Mask of the Shapeshifter!
    Imagine you get a mask that lets you change your shape. One moment you’re a lizard, the next an ordinary human, with completely different dialog options (and visuals of course). By expanding on our tag system, we’ll let you assume different roles in the game with the same character. This will open completely different play styles. Don’t want any competition? Don’t want companions? Become a lone wolf with a very special mask…
    $2,000,000 – Dungeon Master Mode!
    Building on the work of the mod team, we’ll make an in-game version of the editor that allows dungeon-masters to unleash their fantasies on budding adventurers, adjusting and controlling the dungeon while the other players are playing!
    That’s a lot of stretch goals but we still have many days to go so here’s us crossing our fingers that you’ll push us to new heights!

As of this posting, their Kickstarter total sits at $1,382,871 with 18 days still remaining.
