Axe of the Blood God is our weekly RPG podcast hosted by Kat Bailey. You can find the previous episodes here.
In this week's episode of Axe of the Blood God (download link here), I welcome legendary RPG developer Chris Avellone and Divinity: Original Sin creator Swen Vincke to the podcast to in-depth on 2014's breakout hit RPG..
In addition to interviewing Chris and Swen, I had a chance to spend some time with Divinity: Original 2, which retains much of what made the original great while adding in several new and interesting elements. In particular, I really like that you can take on premade characters with their own backgrounds and personalities, which naturally gets you in the mindset for roleplaying. You can hear the rest of my thoughts and more during the interview, which begins around the 15:00 mark.
On the subject of Deus Ex: It certainly fits within the scope of this podcast, but I don't have a ton to add to my thoughts from From Us to You (which you should listen to). Don't worry, there's a decent chance we'll circle back to it in the near future.
Next week: It's up in the air!
