The accomplishments are a feature that is a complete waste of time, it should only be in a mmorpg where you spend months to level your character. I don't know why Larian wasted time on making them, but hopefully they won't make that mistake again.
As for your comment on a PC being used as a game console, well it is annoying having to buy an X-box, Playstation, Wii, Nintendo DS and Sony PSP. I've stopped buying those consoles because of the taken up space and I can play a lot more games on my computer.
Lastly what really is pissing me off is accusing Larian from making a dishonest game. You obviously didn't play it very long, did you even get past the first goblin camp? As for a monoculture product, this game is very different than Divinity 1 yet I felt like it was the proper offspring of Divinity 1
Major Spoilers...basically the story!
If you played the game long enough, you'd know that the black ring (humans) have been at war since the Sword of Lies was sent back to hell after the Damned One was possessed by a demon. As he grew up, his true love was killed by Lucian (the Divine) and he is hell bent on her resurrection. Though his rage lead to the 10,000 man war and has pretty much made all the other races extinct.
The elves went underground and were slain by goblins. The dwarves probably baracaded themselves in their mines. The imps are still causing havoc, I think the Divine basically killed off all the Orcs or they retreated back into the wastelands, Zandelore is one of the few last wizards left, the Lizard people probably still reside in the sewers in hiding.
Larian has done something different with each Divinity game. There is no monoculture in their products at all!
Divine: you had all the towns to explore and was the calm before the storm.
Beyond: you were soul forged with a demon having to escape hell. If he died, so did you. Yeh this has been used before in games but only for a short quest, the the entire game!
Ego Draconis: Unlike the current games, you transform and fight as a Dragon. Not just a means for transportation but an active role in the game.
This is not Divinity: Sword of Lies in 3D. This is it's own game with a lot to do. You need to actually play it before continuing your rant about something you don't have much of a clue about. Just ignore the achievements like everyone else does and work on getting to Maxos Temple. Good luck with it.
