The gaming world is buzzing after last night’s unveiling of Larian Studios’ new Divinity game. A mysterious trailer left fans with burning questions, particularly about the identity of the man engulfed in flames within the trailer. Theories are circulating, with fans eager to uncover the truth behind the enigmatic figure. Could it be a familiar face from the series or someone entirely new?
Unraveling the Mystery of the Burning Man
Speculation is rife regarding the identity of the man in the fire. The most prevalent theory suggests he is Lucian, the protagonist from Divine Divinity and a key character throughout the series. Lucian, once revered as the “Divine” by Rivellon’s gods, opposed the threatening force of Chaos. Yet, his life was fraught with complexity, including adopting Damian, a vessel for Chaos. His fate in Original Sin 2 was ambiguous, as he faked his death and hid in a tomb, potentially alive depending on players’ choices.
Fans suspect the fiery scene might be a portrayal of Rivellon’s populace discovering Lucian’s lack of Divine powers. Given his controversial past actions, it’s conceivable they would revolt upon learning of his vulnerability. **Supporting this theory are physical traits: the man in the trailer resembles Lucian, notably his age, beard, and a star-shaped scar matching Lucian’s staff.**
Alternative Theories and Speculations
Alternative theories suggest the possibility of a ritualistic execution of someone representing Lucian. Others propose that Damian, the Chaos vessel, might be the victim. This aligns with the game’s promotional text, suggesting new disturbances in Rivellon. Meanwhile, the appearance of a Blood Rose hints at connections to Braccus Rex, a resurrected tyrant.
Some fans even speculate the game could occur at a different timeline point, possibly a prequel, raising more questions about its connection to existing lore. With Larian’s history of inconsistent lore, the truth remains elusive. The gaming community awaits further revelations to shed light on these burning questions.
The anticipation is palpable, and the lore enthusiasts are eager to dive deeper. As fans continue to theorize, the gaming community can only hope Larian Studios will soon clarify the mysteries surrounding their latest unveiling.
