It occurs to me I've sounded rather negative about this game so far (wah, I don't like turned based, what happened to the art design?), but really, I am psyched about Divinity: Original Sin.
It is not just you, if you haven't noticed yet. That's totally fine. Other people, actually, were expressing their opinion more... expressive, haha.
I'm not really fond of the battlesystem as well, but the art-style and design does not bother me much.
