Huge jump from the first! Looks and runs great. Full 60fps+ on my rig. I just hope the story is good. 30 mins in so far

Haha, did you torrent this you bastard? I thought release was scheduled for jan? is there a proper release? definitely keen to check it out, previews have all said its far far better than the first.

Edit: ok, found it on gamersgate. Nowhere else though? I don’t mind GG but always worried about future patches etc, and these open-world games always need patching!

Any reviews out yet, in English? Cant find any of those either. Will definitely take a look once im done with divinity.

There is a scene release, but using a proxy allows u to buy it from there. I'm impressed with it so far, but it's still early. Even the cutscenes are in HD which is pretty cool. Seems like most PC games get the shitty compressed versions.

Are we getting a thumbs up here? I may have to check this out...didnt even realize it came out.

Well so far, I haven't had a chance to get further than an hr in, and I can say I don't like setting up magic as u have to go into your bag and switch out spell cards in the charm which is annoying. The interface sucks but once you get used to it, then it's ok. The engine and graphics are superb though. Runs really smooth. Voice acting is not the greatest, but still immersive. Definitely stay away from the console versions. I'll give u guys some updates once I get a few more hours in.

OK got a few more hrs into it, and it's getting better. Looks really good, big open world, horse riding, assassination kills which are pretty cool, magic attacks, tons of different weapons, wildlife like in the Gothic games, alchemy recipes/potions, crafting and upgrading. Animations are excellent, and the fighting is fun. It is a click fest like in Divinity 2, but that's not a neg to me. The voice acting is what is bad. The main character is the worst...very monotone but the NPC's you deal with are much better. I still only recommend this a buy to those who enjoy Gothic type games such as myself, and definitely get this on PC. There are console releases, but there's no way you will enjoy it as much on a silly console than on PC where it belongs.

thanks for the updates. definitely picking this up once finished with the divinity expansion.

will be picking this up on NA release on steam.
