Developer Larian Studios has released a massive new update for Divinity: Original Sin 2, which came out of Steam Early Access last month. The Divinity: Original Sin 2 update – available now – brings with it several bug fixes, UI changes, and multiple quest updates that should help clear up many quest-related issues across the board.
