DKS has moved up to the second page on Impulse when you have it show all games and sort by 'popularity' (which has to do with how many people are buying it over some period of time, not sure exactly how it is calculated). Just noticed that DK:S doesnt have one single "rating" on impulse, would help if anyone who buys on impulse actualy gives it a score so that is shows some stars in it

From past experience, the game ratings need to reach a critical mass before it will show a rating. On the other hand, for getting it to show up near the front of the list the rating is not as useful (though it may be better for showing it is a good game) as 5-star rating go out to at least page five if all games are shown.

alright time for my rating. ima give it a 9 would have been a 10 but the game does have a few minor glitchs the pop up time to time. But i have beat risen and gothic and well none compair to this game. Been having a blast playing it and the dev's did a Excellent job. im still beating the first part (25 hours in n im in the fdors or however ya spell it) and i still got the expansion to play. this game has already went past the time it took me to beat risen and gothic 4 ( 20 hours). So id say well worth the investment. I'll certainly be looking forward to more Divinity games. as for those curious. Graphics are very VERY nice (maxed) and gameplay is alot of fun. storyline is excellent and the class mix up you can do is just epic! haha im a tank/necromancer XD After this game is beat. Would love to find out if this company makes other RPG's as well erm im kinda obessed withem  . anyhow good job with the game and looking forward to seeing more ofem.

... less intrusive applications like Steamworks You are refering to the Steamworks that requires Steam to be installed right? Then it seems we have a diffrent idea about what counts as intrusive. Impulse::Reactor would be a better example. Steam is a great service that has yet to fail me, thus I don't find Steamworks to be intrusive at all. I've had every game on there since a little bit after Half-Life 2's launch, and I've never had a single problem with any of the DRM that's been offered.
My Favorite RPGs: Divinity franchise, Gothic franchise (including Arcania, so I think I'm alone...), Venetica, Risen, Two Worlds II, The Witcher, Sacred franchise, Fallout franchise, Mass Effect 1, Alpha Protocol, Planescape: Torment, Drakensang, KOTOR 1 & 2, etc.

I hope that it is and continues to do fantastic. I haven't played very far into the game yet (lack of time  ) and really don't deserve to descend into a sort of fan-boyish tizzy but the production values of this game... Wow! I've been proclaiming the virtues of it to all of my friends but I'm still waiting to see if any of them bite. If they don't.... Well Christmas is coming and it is foreseeable that a couple of them will find they have a copy of it anyway  This game needs to do incredibly well. I want more, more, more!! Plus I still need to work Divine Divinity and Beyond into my schedule somehow...

DKS is now the most popular RPG to buy on Impulse, having now out done the Game of the Year edition of Fallout 3.

The Dragon Knight Saga is now the 9th fastest selling game on Impulse, meaning it is one the first page when you sort the game by popularity.  Now we just need everyone that has purchased it to finish all 100 hours of great gaming and give it a good rating...

This game would even do better if it had good mod support. Mods increase sales, not to mention gameplay, longevity and counts as free advertising. Unfortunately some companies still dont realize this. I once saw a post made by the owner of the Nexus mod sites saying how Bioware was surprised that over a third of DAO users were mod users, which really just goes to show how much moddability has become a gaming value.

I think the easiest way to blow a game up huge these days is to offer it for 50% on steam.
Especially with the holiday sales coming up.
I think that many lesser-known games have found that by lowering the price in that venue they are able to significantly increase revenues and exposure.
I think I read that the game Risen doubled its total sales over the weekend last week, and that game had been out for 2 years.
I know that I buy the weekend deal nearly every weekend.
I only happened into this game based on the coincidence that it was released in current version around the same time that I was finishing up with FONV.

I got ED over Gamefly last week and I TRIED playing it because I loved low budget high value RPGs from when I was kid. Games like Sirtech, TSR games etc. so when I saw Divinity 2 I thought of those type of games, made by a team of dedicated people with not a lot of money.
But seriously, it was too buggy and flawed, controls too awkward. I saw so much potential, but it was so frustrating I had to give up. Then I saw DKS on Steam and saw that it was a remastered ED. I downloaded and started a new game in ED.
OMG it is so much better. I'm not sure if it's the improvements between the remaster and original ED, or if it's from playing on a PC instead of the 360 but I haven't been able to put the game down. It's very hard relatively compared to other mainstream titles and I like that a lot. Though now I am in the mid-20s level wise and it's starting to get pretty easy.
I am looking forward to beating ED so I can move onto FoV. I think if I had played ED when it originally came out, I probably would have been turned off. I'm glad the remaster was available to me to try first.

Big world etc. But has you playthrough.You notice it. The game was lacking polish.It's felt like a Korean MMORPG. Had it cut the game in half and polished the other half . The review would be much higher.

Glad to hear the game is doing well, it deserves it. You likely got more sales than activations too, considering many people will buy it and download it but not play it for a while, and people who crack DRM on principle.

Bought Ego draconis and bought DKS. I like DKS better since it is just that bit better.
Sure the weapon enhancement is overkill but thank you for removing the force field in the fjords.
