And this is why i decided to register on these forums. Usually i buy game,finish it,delete from HDD and move on. But this time i needed to stop by and say few words to Larian Studios (even if they go ignored).

I just completed the full game and i must say this was one of the best adventures i had from a long time. The game was a big surprise to me as i bought it pretty randomly without even reading reviews (thank God,reviewers prolly played few hours and gave their low score based on i dont know what).

This was one of the best games i ever played,got pretty much hooked up for over 100 hours of gameplay,checking every nook and cranny which i only usually do to get some achievements,this time i did this because it was very satisfying. This game gave me feeling that i play something fresh and different from other rpg's and i loved the idea of beign the hunter and a hunted at the same time.
The great graphics,paired with awesome sounds and dub (bellegarrrrrrr!) with very intuitive combat system that provides high customization along with freedom (loved possibility to roll and avoid hits),very convincing characters and story that You find yourself into made this game epic for me.

The game ofcourse had its flaws too,remastered ergo draconis had some bugs like trees hanging in the air or invisible walls on flying fortresses,overpowered explosive arrows which made game too easy,but overall the game is a complete masterpiece from begining to end.

So i wont spam anymore and i just want to say "Thank You!" to Larian Studios. More and more games discouraged me to finish them,whatever i started i got bored very fast and i thought im getting old and games are not for me anymore but divinity II:dragon knight saga changed it,yet again i felt spark of excitement in my body whenever i launched a game,whenever i completed a quest i wanted to go further and couldnt resist myself from playing.

Thank You for such a great game and im looking forward to play another adventures of Dragon Knight,let it be more expansions or Divinity III i will for sure pre-order it hoping for similar quality.

I've not yet completed DKS, although I think Im near the final, and have to say that I agree with your comments.

I too can play a game and slowly get bored (often too quickly), and although I've not put in as many hours as you have, I have not felt bored at all playing. I actually 'want' to play.

I didnt know much, if anything at all really about this game, I bought it on a whim from Steam, and I am really glad I did. I almost dont want it to end

Wait, reviewers give this game a bad score?
While generic spess mehreen shooter for babies number 787896173 gets a near perfect score?

I never trust "professional game critics"(Hahaha, wow.) anyway.

Yeah, i also completed the complete saga yesterday, but it took me way less then 100 hours, and i've done about everything there is to do (except spook the fortune teller and slay the infamous rabbit)

The story is very solid, something we see too little of in the game industry.
To be completely honest, the voice acting was a little mediocre at best, but you can't have everything.

Now, here's my biggest issue with the game:
The graphics engine.

I can run games like Dragon Age on max settings all the way without so much as a little hiccup or shudder. Divinity however, makes my PC feel like an old Intel 333mhz on medium settings. (and frankly, Dragon Age is the heavier game here)

That is putting me off of another playthrough tbh. Choppy gameplay ftl. I only managed to get through the one thanks to the story.

All in all a good product, but please, fix the engine.
