Actually.. I think it's pretty fair to judge a company on their past design.... especially when they have veared from the path so heavily, all the while trying to sell a completely unrelated product as an extension of the same franchise.

.. and no, you are correct.. myself and friend DO NOT count as the entire fan base.... but we are certainly not alone, the same things are being said by others mostly fans of the original, and you can CERTAINLY consider us collectively as being part of the fan base..

Face it.. it's not a 'Divinity' game.. the name has been traded upon to rope in fans of that franchise, NOT because it has any relation to the game.

Which is a great pity... and a bit of a con.
