Remember that Divinity<\/a> reveal trailer at The Game Awards? It was a banger, alright, from the puke-eating pigs to the orgy in front of the guys getting burned to death Wicker Man-style and then the big finish, where everyone dies horrifically\u2014except the pig, which I thought was a nice touch. It is dark, to put it mildly, and doubly shocking in the moment because it came from Larian, the guys who gave us horny grinning bears<\/a> (and voyeuristic squirrels<\/a>) in Baldur’s Gate 3. What a turn, right?<\/p>\n

Well, not really: Once the moment had passed, we all recalled that the very first Baldur’s Gate 3<\/a> announcement trailer was pretty grody too. Want to watch a guy barf out his own teeth?<\/p>\n
