The only thing i'm scared about is that it'll be too close to a game like Oblivion (i thoroughly hate that game to the core), if Divinity 2 will be even only half as good as DD though, then i'll be more then happy (obviously i want it to be as good as it can be). I'm excited.
If I'm not mistaken, as of today, we have entered Q2 of 2009 .. so, keep your fingers crossed, cause from all we know, the game could hit shelves tomorrow.. ok, maybe not tomorrow but... soon, so be ready
The original estimate of a Q2 release (IIRC from a rumour about dtp) has been officially updated to an estimate of 'summer'. That's still relatively soon, but not necessarily as soon as Q2.
Remember we've got RPC 2009 this week so we could possibly get a release date. Plus some new footage If somebody recorded this also some new info. According to Amazon Germany or w/e it is its due for June 26th I've seen June on many sites so who knows.
I bought Divine Divinity when it was already on the budget shelves, and I liked it. To be honest I have played most of the RPG's that where released for the PC, still playing TQIT, Sacred2. On my list for this year are DD2 and Dragon Age, for next year Diablo III.
They say that lightning never strikes twice in the same place, wait keep standing there and see what happens.
