Larian Studios Forums Divinity II The Dragon Knight Saga / Flames of Vengeance (English) Divinity II - The Dragon Knight Saga Larian Studios, you've done it again

Dear Swen and the Larian team,

You did the seemingly impossible in today's ever-capitalistic gaming industry - you created a sequel that took the story, rebuilt the gameplay, and made it just as good if not a better experience. I applaud you on doing it right.

I also remember posting back in the day when you released the first screen-shot from the alpha stages. As an industry veteran in the 3D arts, I commented that it looked like poop. I'd like to take that back - you turned the game into something really beautiful. Once again, I'd like to applaud you on doing it right.

And, with all things considered, you kept the dialogue styled with all the humor, wit, and depth. You hit oh so sought after "suspension of disbelief" on the head in all regards. If I could spend $60 on a game, Divinity 2 would be at the top of the list with all the other greats.

I'd like to congratulate you on doing it right. I look forward to your next release like a giddy little kid on Christmas Eve...

Best Regards and Happy Holidays,
Matt 'Retrotation' Olick


PS: kicking a bunny has never been so satisfying

I second that motion! I think, this is the best sequel I've ever played. Great job! Now, answer my screenshot question

Thank you Matt - I think I actually remember the 'looks like poop' comment

@Shaver - the screenshot question has an answer now.

I find it amazing Larian was able to somehow preserve the tone of Divine Divinity in spite of the obvious leaps in Div II vs. technology and play-style. Divinity II is a much more structured game then Divinie Divinity, yet it doesn't seem bastardized or restricted in its current incarnation...

The games *feel* similar and I can't quite explain why, there is a very identifiable eccentricity that runs through the series from the visuals to the soundtrack to the flow of game-play.

Larian has a distinctive style, I'm psyched the studio hasn't evaporated.

I don't know what the devs have been up to in their home territories but over here in the U.S. it has been a long silent stretch since Beyond Divinity....

Amen

Yes Lar_q, my thanks to Ava. Very timely and a positive response! I'm thrilled

p.s. Did I mention I left RoM due to lack of player support and acknowledgment?

Just played trough the whole saga. It was brilliant and the number one RPG of like the past 5 years.
Didn't expect this kind of ending at Flames of Vengeance though. DKS is a small scarred pearl, but much deeper and worth so much more than the big shiny ones.

P.S: Dikke proficiat voor zo'n kleine studio en dan nog wel één van bij ons kleine Belgskes.
