YES, Divinity 2 is a Rollplaying Game!![/b]
But it is not an original RPG, because of missing the D&D Rules, which makes me really sad,
but it was not a reason to be so strong, so i change my opinion (general)
At time i feel not good (to many hours i play that game), so i answer only short.
Also i am ready to play with Divinity 2 and i will give them at Amazon 2 from 5 Stars and 3 Stars at the fun factor.
Why no more? I think, Divinity 1 (greater dungeons and other more) was much better (but i must test it again)
Divinity 2 has some very good news, but make not much of them.
When you get the dragon tower, game lost all the fun, because much money, no good new items, opponent is no longer a challenge, map to small and so on. Most important of all, you can NOT modding the game.
Thanks to Lurker and melianos!!

You shouldn't really use the D&D Rules to try and define what is or is not an RPG. The D&D Rules are for one type of RPG, not for every RPG. There are plenty of very good RPG's available that do not use the D&D Rules, in fact, if every RPG used the D&D rules then RPG's would become rather boring because they'd all be too similar with very little variation!
As for not being able to mod the game, why is that a bad thing? Personally I like to play some games that aren't moddable because it means I can spend more time actually playing the game, as opposed to spending more time finding mods, installing mods, testing mods, un-installing mods I don't like or that don't work before I can finally start playing the game!
At the end of the day, it's all down to personal choice, but try to keep an open mind when you play a new game and enjoy the game for it is, entertainment!
