More questions and answers thanks to Macbeth!

Hope we do get a demo, hopefully before the release?That has yet to be decided.
In which Rivellon year did Divine Divinity take place, and in which year is it in Divinity 2?We don’t actually have a set year in mind, but some sixty odd years have passed since Damian escaped from Nemesis at the end of Beyond Divinity, which means the events take place about eighty years after the story of Divine Divinity.
How complex will the character leveling system be? Same as DD, upgraded DD system, simplified like in Mass Effect or something completely new?The game boasts five attributes you can spend statpoints on that influence six more resistances and modifiers. Add more than sixty distinctive skills to the mix and you get a good idea of how deep the RPG experience can take you. Everything is designed so that you can make every character you want, whether that is the straightforward axe-first-talk-later barbarian or a woodsman who deftly uses his summoning skills to give his enemies a target, then dodges out by hiding in the shadows and strikes down his confused enemies from afar with poison-tipped arrows. You decide.
How complex will item attributes and bonuses systems be? Simplified with only attributes like damage and attack speed for weapons, amount of armor for helms, gauntlets etc, same or similar to DD were items gave bonuses such as, +x points to strength, constitution etc., upgraded with lots of attributes and bonuses? Items will definitely be as varied as they were in Divine and Beyond Divinity, so to weapon damage and armour rating you can add the augmentation of skills and attributes, and on top of that, many of the more powerful items can be charmed as well as enchanted!
If the player transforms into a Dragon, will he still be able to walk on the ground?No, the Dragon is the master of the sky. Human combat is very versatile as it is, so a walking Dragon would actually spoil the fun. But don’t for a second think there won’t be enough to burn to cinders in the air…
Can you change the Dragon's form and will the form change the gameplay (beause that Elf Dragon looks SOOOOOO GOOOD)?!The Dragon has a fixed appearance – though you have the male and female variety. So you can’t become a Dragon Elf, but believe me when I say becoming a Dragon is way cooler. Also, the different types of armour will give your Dragon a unique flavour, so you’re good there.
I know that you can breathe fire, but can you choose between fireball, and flamethrower?Yes indeed, the Dragon has a variety of different skills, and fireball and fire breath are among them.
Are there uses for the mouth and the claws, like biting heads of or taking "passengers"?No, the Dragon is all about ranged combat
Will the Dragon growl, if yes, can I manually growl?The Dragon does roar and growl, but it does not have a horn function.
Can you become a vampire? (=joke :-D).Our dark lord Dracula has requested not to be impersonated in video games. (Those Castlevania guys don’t know what they have coming.)
