Divinity 2 - Anyone played it?

[Tsippy]

I came across this on Amazon whilst looking for a new rpg (not the weapon ) and it looks pretty good. Anyone played it?

Played the demo over and over, quite a lot of loading but seemed fantastic to play, a good rival for dragon age origins

Should be here tomorrow so I'll post a review up Apparentlty there's well over 50hours of gameplay too, make a change from most recent games which only take 4 or 5 hours!

I hope you've bought the revamped edition complete with the DLC, rather than the original release of Divinity 2.....?

Tempted by this, as a big fan of Dragon Age, but I'm not sure I need another time-sink RPG at the moment with so much other unplayed or half-finished stuff on the shelf!

Other than being fantasy based, its very different from DA:O in how it plays. Divinity is very much an action-oriented click fest, in 3rd person.

But its very enjoyable,with good quests. Story is average but its brilliantly written, with genuinely funny lines, good characters and varied, well delivered voices. I got a fair few hours from it too.

Definitely worth a play through.

Yep, this is the re-released version with the bugs sorted out too

It's very good It's like a cross between Fable and Overlord. The map interface is a bit iffy, and finding your way around initially is a bit difficult as the instructions are not fantastic(as is combat as npcs do not level up with you) but once you get into it, it's great fun



Have played 10 hours so far and don't think I've even scratched the surface
