How Long Is Divinity: Original Sin 2?
Larian Studios is known for its narrative-heavy games with turn-based gameplay and unique characters. The line of games in the Divinity series isn't a straight one though, as Divinity: Original Sin differs from that of Divine Divinity, etc. D: OS2 is a direct sequel to D: OS; however, it takes place long, long after the original, and in a totally different realm.
Still, you find familiar beings like Elves and Dwarves while the humanoid Orcs get replaced with Lizardfolk and there are plenty of undead and demons around.
