A plucky Divinity: Original Sin modder is attempting to recreate the first area of Diablo 2 in Larian’s recently released fantasy RPG.
Specifically, forum user Shidiwen is recreating the gloomy hub town of Sanctuary, home of mud, rain, skeletons and weird little imp creatures.
It’s very early days yet, and Shidiwen is still seeking help and advice from the community on how to get the most out of the mod tools Larian provided along with the core game.
Still, for someone who’s only been fiddling with the toolset for a few weeks it’s pretty impressive what he/she has managed to come up with. I for one would welcome the chnace to run around smiting things using Original Sin’s fantastic combat system.
When asked why he didn’t focus on making the less complicated Diablo 1 first, Shidiwen said ”I only played a little bit of Diablo 1. Diablo 2 was what I grew up with and played for nearly a decade, so it’s what sticks with me when I think Diablo.” You and me both, mate.
