Prior to Divine Divinity, Larian was developing The Lady, The Mage and The Knight for Infogrames, an RPG based on The Dark Eye / Das Schwarze Auge universe. They had licensing problems and abandoned the title and the game ideas in the early stages. They then went on to create an original universe in Divine Divinity.

Most of the team members are fans of Belgian soccer club AA Gent. Therefore, they always try to include references to the club colours or the club itself in their games.
