Potential Buyer Questions - 08/11/10 05:16 PM
When I closed up TF2 yesterday, the usual steam pop-up came up that showcases new games and sales. Like usual, I clicked through it until the end, and was about to close it until I saw a game called Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga.
I've been looking for a good PC RPG, having finished Dragon Age recently, so first I looked for reviews. Unfortunately, the game just came out, so I only found the French one. Then I looked for reviews for the first game, and found that it got relatively poor reviews. This tempered my excitement for the game quite a bit, but I thought that DKS might have changed all the negatives.
Now this brings me to my questions: does DKS really change the game enough to warrant buying? The major issues that were brought up in reviews of the previous game were: uninspired visuals, a grind-y nature, and floaty combat. To me, combat and character progression are the two most important parts of an RPG (aside from story), so I can't buy a game if its lacking in either.
After browsing the forums a bit, I've found that Larian has great customer relations, and it is always nice to support a small studio. I figure that I'll find the most glowing recommendations here, so please, tell me why I should buy this game. Also, I don't really care about the 30 fps thing; I'm cool with playing games at 30 fps.
Thank you.
