Hey guys, Just wanted to let you know about this game.
I saw a friend playing the "original" Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis, which appeared quite buggy and unfinished, but the guys at Larian Studios have really reworked this game and I am enjoying it immensely.
In a lot of ways it IS a generic RPG in terms of skill selection, stats etc etc. But what really separates this game from the rest of the heard is a really excellent story-line, witty dialogue, really interesting and varied puzzles (that you can actually solve), a great combat system which is really responsive and and intense and of course the ability to turn into a dragon in the later stages of the game.
There's also stacks of looting, item sets, alchemy, enchanting, potion making and the ability to own your very own Battle Tower, with minions to do your bidding.
I think you can pick this up on Zaps in the next couple of days.

If you hear people say this is a buggy game, they are referring to Ego Draconis. They have done a marvelous job ironing out the glitches. After about 15hours of play I have encountered maybe one "bug" which actually helped me get passed a really tough boss!
I give it a 9/10. The game engine isn't the most beautiful I've seen, and this is about the only bit of the game which isn't great. Then again it will probably run on most systems and has even got a setting to optimise it for those with single cores.
(oh, also the death animation is horrible, it makes me want to throw my computer out the window, it's like they're mocking you for dying....AAARRRGH)
