Personally I rate it below Dragon Age: Origins and Risen. So if you don't have those games, I suggest the former first and the latter second. Divinity II does kind of grow on you though, unfortunately the difficulty/pacing is all over the place, too hard in the beginning and pointlessly effortless in the end. Level scaling done in a different way than Oblivion but almost as bad. I guess your mileage may vary though. Playing through a second time with a warrior, I almost enjoy it more than the first time as a mage...
