Yesterday I was at the retailer's, trying to decide whether I would buy Dragon Age or Divinity II. Everyone is raving about DA, all my friends are playing it, I love Bioware, Mass Effect and KOTOR are my favourite games and yet... I chose Divinity II. It was one of those gut decisions. Somehow I felt this game was going to be more for me. And I kind of like discovering great games that don't get as much attention as the huge titles like Dragon Age. I never finished the first Divinity but thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless. So anyway, I sat down with my Xbox controller last night, started playing the game and knew right away this was my kinda game. The world is beautiful and charming, the controls easy and intuitive and above all: the dialogues are incredibly witty and well-voiced. This game has got a quality I fear Dragon Age may be missing: humour, relativity, a light touch. Dragon Age seems a bit too much doom and gloom for me right now. I don't doubt it'll be great in its own way, though. I may play it later on, but I'm happy with the decision I made.
