P. dumb as a title, but... it's not as stupid as you'd think. And iirc Larian didn't even have much of a say on it
IIRC it was supposed to be "Divinity: The Sword of Lies" or something like that, but I could be wrong.

I just have a soft spot for overly elaborate multiple word epic titles. When I first saw the cover and read the name of Ishar Seven Gates of Infinity I wanted to play that game so bad. That title had something in it that screamed of adventure and epic shit. Turned out game was meh but still.

It is infinitely better than all those reckonings, revelations, redemptions and origins we have today.

I heard somewhere that this is so the acronym for the game could be REIS which supposedly means "journey" or "travel" or something in Dutch and the developers are Dutch, but who knows?

Hamlet or the Last Game without MMORPG Features, Shaders and Product Placement

Our last bastion against the decline. Can't believe so many developers would sell out like this and use SHADERS of all things!

My brother thought the name Death Knights of Krynn was cringeworthy. Ironically, a few years later he was addicted to the Dragonlance novels and collections of short stories.

You're right, it means "journey" in Dutch. Also it's a small nod to the dev's previous game called "Reus".
