I have enjoyed (and still enjoying) Divinity 2 just as much as Divine. Sure, they're different, but believe me, if Divinity 2 had a similar gameplay to Divine I wouldn't have liked it. Such gameplay should only be pesent in 2D games. This is why I also think that NWN is crap. Oldschool stuff should be present in old games only. I always pick up new RPG titles hoping that I will relax without having to lose myself in stats, descriptions, quests etc. Those should stay in old RPG games.
It's my opinion though.
