Far be it for me to sound critical, but there are several(un-named) game companies with upcoming products in relatively the same genre. And they are "balls to the walls", marketing out the wazoo. I will play this game regardless, as I know the quality of product that Larian puts out.
He's got a point there. There are a few promising titles on the horizon. Depending on the actual release date Divinity II may be up against - to name one of the more obvious - Dragon Age: Origins. I believe you need all the positive buzz you can get against a crowd pleaser such as this. (I'm going to get them both provided there will be no nasty surprises re DRM).
