Divinity: Original Sin II Kickstarter Already Funded, Gameplay Footage

The Divinity: Original Sin II Kickstarter campaign managed to get funded in about 12 hours, and has already raised almost $200,000 in additional funding, in spite of the fact that the folks at Larian Studios simply haven’t had the time to announce the stretch goals for the project yet.
