But are you now saying that NWN1 was better than NWN2.....? The main campaign of NWN1 was pretty bad, despite a couple good moments (mainly in the sidequests).
Anyway, you seem to search for hack'n'slash in Divinity 2; me, I search for the plot or, in lack of it, the atmosphere. And, of course, the concept of turning into a big powerful flying dragon (which IS the main reason I am so interested in this game, after all).
We'll see how the game will turn out to be. Of course, the german players could tell us already....
