Hey guys, I want to take some time to tell you about Divinity II and the newly released Dragon Knight Saga.
Last year Larian Studios released Divinity II : Ego Draconis. Some of you already played it i'm sure. The game received mostly not too good reviews from many so-called professional reviewers/websites. I know, it's sometimes a matter of taste and opinion so i'm not gonna debate on that.
Recently Larian released Dragon Knight Saga. It's Ego Draconis with a new engine, new content (quests, items) plus it include the Flames of Vengeance expansion.
This game is a rare jewel, rarely seen in the world of RPGs. It's engrossing, addictive. The world is simply stunning, not only by it's details but also by it's inhabitants and their troubles, comments, weird and absurd humor. By it's secrets, so tempting and rewarding yet so dangerous. It's turns and twists at every corner. It's history filled with love, betrayal, laughs and tears, violence and compassion, honor and duty, shame and pride, lost pigs and bandits and dragons.
It gets to you unlike any other games out there but you have to at least open you mind to something amazingly different. It's not your North American, handholding RPGs where you just have to open your map to see where you have to go. You have to get out there and explore, make mistakes and learn from them and venture forth. By the end of your journey, you'll be rewarded for your hard work and efforts and of that, you can be assured.
When you'll think about trying it, do it in a completely opened state of mind. Think about your first bought computer game where you entered a store, read the back of the box and bought it because, and simply because, YOU tought the game looked cool. A time where "pros reviews" we're scarce and almost frowned upon...a time where gaming was about having fun in your parents basement and not where graphics matters more that story.
RPG fans, do yourself a favor and fetch this jewel, play it, enjoy it.
