Divinity II is wonderful because it has a lot of conservative RPG elements that make the game realistic to play. Skyrim is alright, but it has a mass-appeal just for the money, which is not cool. DS is just equivalent to every mob being Alduin and the last boss of Divinity II.

Oh, I love this game so much! You should really play it in depth, and you'll realise how fun it is. :-)

The game is truly great fun, i liked the story, liked the jokes and movie references game pulls, and the concept in general is great. There's just one thing that i absolutely hated, it's the unreasonable difficulty of the game..it's freaking HORRENDOUS! I lost count how many times i cursed developers for making it so insanely hard, i don't think i built my character wrong and I surely were''t underleveled, and I heard many people playing either class having same hard time, it's truly difficult when majority of the enemies each are as strong as you and in large groups while you're alone (the creature helps but not that much). Only in end game i reached some state where i could more confidently stand against random groups of foes without relying on sheer luck. But there where several fights that simply were impossible no matter what no matter of number retries. So it's a first modern rpg ever that forced me to cheat, and that's totally not cool, either way i finally successfully completed it.

I don't know if any of you had it this hard but for me no walkthroughs or guides helped, only cheats. Personally i have nothing againt's challenging games but they should give an option to choose, not make it hard by default. That's the end of my rant, the rest of the game is really awesome, and I hope they'll continue this franchise.

yeah this game is not easy, but i don't think that so hard(maybe only the early stages when the game is realy hard because you dont have good items.)
The biggest problem this game is the unbalanced leveling system.

Agreed, but that unbalanced levelling system is beneficial because it actually trains people to know their class well and actually get into the habit of theorycrafting: to know which skills to use and what not to do - vice-versa. When I reached towards the end of the game, I was ridiculously powerful because not only was I one-shotting/two-shotting mobs, but I was also earning massive xp from it. If I were to summarise this game in fewer words I'd say:

The more you play, the better you get. Although it depends on HOW you play.

yeah, but unfortunetely that is make some skill too powerfull I mean too important.
for example the lockpick skill or the weapon style skill.

and the bow user class is horribly op i think...
the ranged attack is give you too much advantage+the ranged skills are very powerfulls

this is the first time i am playing it,i've had it a while in my steam collection..along with divine divinity and beyond divinity..up to now my favourite id divine divinity but i am only lvl 9 and enjoying it..it so reminds me of divine divinity in thqat you can really mess around with your characters abilities.up to now DKS is pretty good..will be worth playing a few times at least.

This game is a true gem! In my view this is one of the most charming RPGs out there. The dialogues is just fabulous, they might make you end up both laughing and crying(not at the same time of course. The game has lots of fine features that is not very usual in RPGs, my favourite is "Mindreading". The only thing I do not like is the dragon-fights, in general I do not like dragons, and if they are troublesome to manouver, I do not like them any better.

I can see why some people find the game difficult, but I think it was spot on perfectly difficult. I stuggled a bit initially to get the hang of dodging and attacking, but once you learn to move away from attacks, you should be fine. My hardest time was actually the first 5 levels, after that it was a breeze, and I guess that is related to what skills I chose.

Anyway, if you like to have a high quality RPG with it's own personality, look no further.

Watch out for the killer bunny!
