Just finished playing through the entire "Dragon Knight Saga" version of divinity 2 (i previously played the first game alone and couldn't find the expansion by itself on steam so bought the combo on sale.) Overall the game was great. Finished at level 46 I believe, completed at least 85% of the available quests and I didn't experience any technical issues throughout the entire game. Only minor complaint that I might have is during certain fights such as the one with general rave it can get a bit agitating as the game system makes is such that he can auto engage the "sequence" for healing himself sometimes instantly regardless of how far he actually is from the... pod? This was pretty much the only fight with something like that involved however so pretty much no other technical problems. I was a bit disappointed with having only one, somewhat long, period of time in which you could transform into a dragon during "Flames of Vengeance" but the context and game itself made that easy to overlook.
That being said I wanted to ask what kind of character builds people had and theirs stats/skill. I know I had fireball, magic blast and magic missile all at 15 with 4 or 5 other skills maxed at 10 before I was working on maxing out another and thats also with some skills at 5 or 8 so tons of skill points to be had. And as for stats, when wearing the dragon wizard set armor I had maxed spirit, 90 intelligence, 25 strength, 25 dexterity and I think just above 60 endurance.
Also I wanted to comment on the ending (which is where the spoilers may begin so keep that in mind.) Unless there are plans to make a second add-on or something along those lines I have to say I found the ending to be somewhat weak. I'm concerned though that the ending seems to imply either a new storyline directly connected to the first two games or simply not continuing the story at all. It's a good ending, yes, but there was nothing said about Rhode, no peek into what plans Damien might have and, to be honest, I was a bit irritated that Belegar was present during the final scene. Most of your interactions in the first game involved him being a ******bag and all of your interactions in the second game involved him being a major ******bag so overall my opinion of him is that he's a total ******bag -_-.
Anyway, putting that personal bit about Belegar aside it would almost seem to me like the ending was meant to deny the possibility of another expansion or rather deny further expansion to the story in that it forces a "happy ending" kind of conclusion. At the very least from the ending I believe that another game in the divinity series would involve a whole new character without any direct ties to the dragon Knight or previous characters and only a minor possibility to discover what happened to the characters from the first game/addon through dialogue.
I kind of hope they continue the story again with the possibility of importing your char. Lot of people believe that once you reach high levels it's difficult to make the game challenging or entertaining but I disagree. Combat is definitely a part of entertainment but the story is much more important imo. Anyway, sry for the long post.
