I wasn't a pre release tester..Anyway, do you think this game is overrated a bit? I mean sure, Cyseal was a solid 8.5/10, but the rest of the game was a 5/10 at best imo. That Source temple was sooo boring! I thought Divinity 2 suffered from the same problem; the first half of the game was great, but the second half really sucked. All in all, this game doesn't deserve the current 8.9 rating it has on metacritic. Any extrapolations on why this game is gettting universal acclaim despite a horrid second half?
I wouldn't go quite so far as to demote it to 5/10, but in principle I agree. Cyseal seemed a vibrant place teeming with life and things to explore, whereas the other towns and villages did seem a little barren. Though I've done the same thing myself when creating mods, pouring enormous amounts of effort into one area and then using up all my creativity before moving on to the others!
I also felt the same way about Div 2, I absolutely adored the first half of the game but not so much the second, which left me wondering if I was kind of missing the point (and ignoring Sentinel Island since it made me feel so utterly miserable). But they really got it together again with FoV, which, though compact, was a wonderful and fun place to explore.
