Kiya,
Unfortunately it's name and promotional hype mean it's inevitable that it will be compared to DD, and rightly so IMO. Heck even the novella paints it as a direct continuation of the first game. Now if they had called it 'Riftrunner' and somewhere in smaller print put 'A brand new game from the team who brought you Divine Divinity' then the comparision would have been lessened...and I'd probably be less disappointed.
Or to put it another way. Lots of people hate Fallout BOS for a reason <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />
