A role-playing game legend is bringing some serious experience to the Divinity: Original Sin 2 team.

Larian Studios announced today that Chris Avellone has joined the studio to work on the game, which is currently funding on Kickstarter (and well passed its $500,000 goal with a total of $1,647,946 with four days of funding left). Avellone previously worked for RPG powerhouses Interplay and Obsidian, so his RPG expertise will certainly help Divinity: Original Sin II.
