A pair of early impression pieces for Larian Studios' Divinity: Original Sin II have already made their way to the 'net, starting with a 51-minute video preview of the RPG sequel from Angry Joe:

In Original Sin II, your character's background is paramount. In addition to your class, you'll be choosing race (humans, dwarves, and elves were on display in our demo) and potentially some sort of unique upbringing.
This plays into pretty much every conversation and interaction you'll have in Original Sin II. For instance, coming upon a statue on the side of the road we were shown how the four party members individually react. Lady Gwynne, who (according to her (Heiress) background) grew up in the area, related her fond memories of the statue from childhood. But our dwarf party member was unsettled, commenting on how the statue portrayed someone who famously massacred dwarves. And our elven party member didn't even know who the statue represented.
