Flames of Vengeance retroactively applies many changes which are introduced in DKS also to Ego Draconis. Most engine changes for instance are immediately present in Ego Draconis. To maintain compatibility with existing savegames however, there are a number of things which aren't changed when you install FOV.
If I already have Ego Draconis already and want to install all new content/changes, is there an option to override this when running the Flames of Vengeance installer?
If you don't mind starting over again, get DKS
I don't mind starting over again, but am I understanding you correctly when you say that the expansion pack doesn't contain the following changes, only the "complete" or DKS edition?
- Enemy placement and balancing (massive overhaul)
- Loot and set-items (complete overhaul)
- Story and scripting changes (e.g. in DKS flying fortress gameplay is very different to ED)
- Art changes in Ego Draconis (though you do get the advantage of better lighting & shading)
I saw this on the FAQ:
Will a patch be released for Divinity II - Ego Draconis that includes these improvements, even if I don't buy Divinity II - Flames of Vengeance?
Does D2:ED + patch + FoV = DKS?
I'd like to echo the comments by -Elena- and thank you for taking the time to answer your fans. It's always great to hear directly from the developers.
