Divinity Wednesday #2

Larian Studios has posted a second “Divinity Wednesday” update on the official Divinity II website, this time featuring a few more screenshots, more additions to the official FAQ, a podcast interview with Swen Vincke, and an article concerning the Battle Tower platforms. On the platforms:

The Necromancy Ring

On this platform, a pupil of the black arts will seek to build you the ultimate Creature. As you travel through Rivellon, you will be able to collect the limbs of the foes you have slain. The necromancer will then assemble these limbs to form the Creature, its powers depending on their composition. You can summon this Creature in combat to serve as an ally by using a unique item: the Crystal Skull.

The Alchemy Garden

The Alchemy Garden is the domain of your alchemist. This character is in charge of the herbs and plants that grow in the tower, with which he brews his potions. But, of course, he will need you to provide him with ingredients and formulas should you want to expand his repertoire.

The Enchanting Platform

The workshop is the platform of your inventor and enchanter. This specialist smith has been working on both sides of the divide: he has dabbled both in science and in magic. Convinced that in doing so he holds the key to ultimate powers, he has blurred the line between the two disciplines attuning his machines so as to give magical qualities to your items.

The Skill Trainer Arena

The skill trainer platform is an area where you will be able to discover and/or upgrade your skills under the supervision of an expert trainer who has mastered the arts of combat and magic alike.
