captures the Editor's Choice for Game of the Year Award 2008 at RPGWatch , this is a must have in 2009.
Divine Divinity is a unique game, combining the addictive traits of a hack'slash action/RPG with the open world, interaction and quests of Ultima along with a sense of humour and quirky style – if you've read our recent retrospective, you'll know how much we enjoyed Divine Divinity. Divinity 2 looks to expand on this base with more choices, more consequences and some risky features – if they can integrate mind-reading and flying around as a dragon into the game beyond mere gimmickery, the potential is fascinating.
Bravo! I echo that sentiment completely. In my opinion, only Dragon Age: Origins will be a contender for the Best RPG 2k9, and that mostly because it's a high-profile title with a lot of hype around it. (And because BG II and NWN1 are two of my favorite games)
