Instead of stemming from the main plot, Divinity II ‘s greatest appeal comes from minor quests and characters. Numerous plot holes and head-scratching developments also keep the player from becoming fully immersed in the story. Between Damien’s uninspiring presence and the fact that all of his evil acts occur offstage, the main storyline generally feels hollow.
The number of times in the story that Damien has the unfettered opportunity to kill the player character, but does not do so, stretches one’s willing suspension of disbelief to the limit. The player is given the task of destroying the demonic Damien, who ranks among the dimmest of the dim in the history of idiotic Big Evils. Through a series of obvious plot twists, the player ends up becoming a Dragon Knight, complete with the ability to turn into a dragon. The player character in Divinity II starts off as a Dragon Slayer, an elite warrior dedicated to wiping out the Dragon Knights who apparently murdered the Divine, a revered ancient hero. This inconsistency plagues most aspects of Divinity II, from graphics to story to combat, creating the impression of a game that could have been far better than it is. There are genuinely enjoyable experiences in the game, but between these experiences lie stretches of frustration and even boredom. Divinity II: Ego Draconis is a large, complex game which promises many things, but often delivers only halfway on those promises.
