This game is such a shame. Divine Divinity was so freakin' good. Hand movements to cast spells, cooking your own pie on the fire etc. Very detailed and very cool. The graphics were passable but easily overlooked because of how awesome the gameplay was. Sadly, it looks like a different designers work. A different vision, but a poor one. The first designer probably had the player's experience and 'Fun' in mind where the second one had features in mind.
We can only hope that Divinity III manages to bring back a lot of Divine Divinity's awesomeness.
Oh also, sorry Larian but Divine Divinity was your only really good game. KinetKicks? wtf. Don't swim in the pool with all the sharks unless you've got big teeth. I disagree. Divinity II is nearly as good as Divine Divinity. I even like some aspects more, like its new look. Beyond Divinity was the only disappointment here. Larian rocks!
My Favorite RPGs: Divinity franchise, Gothic franchise (including Arcania, so I think I'm alone...), Venetica, Risen, Two Worlds II, The Witcher, Sacred franchise, Fallout franchise, Mass Effect 1, Alpha Protocol, Planescape: Torment, Drakensang, KOTOR 1 & 2, etc.
