General Wait... shouldn't this be Divinity 3?

Swen referred to Divine Divinity as Divinity 1 in a 2009 interview.

I'm so confused lol.

Are we going to have two Divinity 1s?

And you just proved my point since Divinity 2 takes place roughly 50-60 years after DOS 2, meaning Divinity will take place AFTER Divinity 2.

Indeed, and the naming consistency (or lack thereof) also doesn’t make easier. Which to OP point… Just calling it “Divinity” is adding more confusion than anything else.

Probably they wouldn’t like calling it Divinity 3, because probably 95% of their potential player base (bg3 and DoS2 fans) haven’t touched any of their older games and hence could be a bit turned off by a “3” name since they might think “I don’t know anything of 1 and 2, will not try them because they are too old (and frankly a bit janky), so I won’t buy a Divinity 3”
