Undead characters, whether custom created or otherwise, will get hold of the Faceripper device early in the game. He hopes to address this by wearing somebody else's face as a sort of moist balaclava. Ask him why and he tells you that he needs it because people run away when they see his naked skull, When you find the undead Origin character, he's cutting the face off a dead person. The Origin characters have their own backstories that branch off into quests and stories as you play, and they all exist in the world as NPCs that can be recruited or killed.
When you create an undead character, as with the other races in the game you can choose to play with a pre-built 'Origin' character or create a custom one of your own. When you're playing a skeleton, it's going to be weirder than ever. I love Divinity but in among all the elves and dwarves, I sometimes forget just how weird it is. Faces were ripped, children were startled, feasting on cadavers quickly became routine. “And now we just use the Face Ripper on this elven corpse so we can polymorph into an elven form and learn more about what happened by eating the limbs we found earlier.”Īt Gamescom, Swen Vincke, CEO of Larian, was showing the playable undead race in Divinity: Original Sin 2 for the first time.
