I saw the title of this topic, and I thought the same thing ! So I read it all !
And after reading, I chose to add a few things, because in my opinion they can probably save a bit of the DOS saga, even if, having reached the near end of DOS2, I am also disappointed with certain scenario choices.
-Ahem, beware : spooooooooils ! -
First :
"B-but... where's muh Souarce ?!
In Divine Divinity, at the very beginning in the little village of Aleroth (so millenia before DKS !) your character use "the Source" (a fountain with magic water) to cure some people. So, indeed, there's Source in the first game ! But it was not described as an so important point as it is in the two DOS.
In DKS, in this same Aleroth which has become a great metropolis, the Source (always the same a priori - the fountain) is decried as dried up. Which is perfectly logical with the plot of DOS2 and the death of the Seven (I remember that some books in the game speak of the death of the gods). In the end, this is a good coherence from this point of view: the dragons "take back" their place of divinity - some DOS2 dialogues suggesting that they existed far before the Seven made their putsh and that the Patriarch himself seems totally indifferent to the disappearance of the Rivellon Source.
Second :
"Then begins the storyline of Ego Draconis. Damian corrupts the dragons to kill Lucian... - wait, dragons ?!"
Agree for the lack of Dragons (:p) and the problem of Lucian's murder - but then, without a precise chronology, there's always a chance of a big twist into the time gap between the differents game (let for another new episode, may be).
On the island of Fort Joy, when you go to the Braccus' Castle (ruins !) you find portals that allows you to travel to a place called "Orobas' realm" ! I've not find any quest to deal with, but may be there's one ? And there's also Slane, the winter dragon (♥) on the beach. Another point that I'm surprised is the bow of the Lady Vengeance : why a red dragon ? We can see at the very end of the game that Dallis can turn into a dragon form, but she's not described as one (just as an eternal). All these details make me feel a bit troubled : it's like a part of the game have been cutted off... need more answer !
On the other hand, DKS has left a lot of shadows in the period before it, on the different characters (we just saw Maxos in DC and Bellegar in DOS1), so it leaves us good reasons to think that the Divinity series is not yet ready to stop: just hope that the concerns of the players as to the continuity of the games find an echo. The intrigues are so vast that it may have been somewhat lost. So, the only thing left to do is to wait for a sequel (or a good big remake?) of Dragon Kight Saga with full answers to all these questions left on hold !
PS : sorry for mistakes, I'm not english.
