Live Updates from Larian’s Divinity AMA: Get the Latest News as It Unfolds
If you’re new to Reddit, here’s a quick rundown of how things work. AMA stands for ‘Ask Me Anything’, and it’s a chance for community members to ask any questions they have to the host of the event. While Larian’s Divinity AMA isn’t live just yet (so no link to share), it will be available on the r/games subreddit for you to check out later. Just remember, you’ll need a Reddit account to submit your own questions.
In Larian’s previous AMA, game director Swen Vincke and writing director Adam Smith were among those answering questions, and it’s likely they’ll be back for this one. Publishing director Michael Douse is also active on social media, so he might pop in to share some insights.
It’s important to note that while you can ask anything, there’s no guarantee of a response. The focus will be on Divinity, and with a limited number of developers available, they can only address so many questions in the time allotted. The duration of today’s AMA isn’t clear, but the Baldur’s Gate 3 event lasted about two hours.
Before we dive in, a bit of context: Larian unveiled Divinity, a continuation of their long-running franchise, at The Game Awards last December, following the massive success of Baldur’s Gate 3. This AMA will cover community questions about the game, similar to the one Larian held for Baldur’s Gate 3 back in 2020.
Additionally, the studio will discuss its design processes. After the reveal, Larian faced some controversy regarding its use of generative AI in Divinity. Although they stated that no AI-generated content would be included in the final game and that director Swen Vincke hasn’t seen significant benefits from the technology, their ‘developer first’ philosophy was scrutinized. This AMA provides Larian with a chance to address those concerns in more detail, and it’s likely to be a significant topic of discussion.
