About the story: you'll pick up right where you left off, which can be done with a character you played, i.e. from a savegame.

So if you play from the beginning of Divinity II and have the expansion also, it will feel like you're playing one big game without interruption.


I am in blood
Stepp'd in so far, that, should I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go o'er.
