Divinity II: Ego Draconis for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

This game is actually a good bit of fun. I think a lot of people hating on it are either simply blinded by subpar graphics (It's an underfunded RPG, guys, get over it) or simply comparing it to AAA titles like Oblivion. I would say this definitely deserves a rent from any western RPG fan.

Pros:

Pretty good story. No, not as good as Oblivion or Fable, but not bad at all for a game like this.

FANTASTIC skill tree. Why can't all games do it like this? There are columns of many abilities/skills for mages, rangers, fighters, etc. But you're not limited by anything, you can at any time put points into any of the skills. Straight rogue? Great. Warrior-Mage? That's fine too. It doesn't even branch, so there's no need to unlock useless skills you'll never use! And it's all resettable.

Simple achievements, good for hunters like myself. You basically just need to beat the story, as well as get some side missions out of the way (which you need to do to level adequately anyway).

Mind reading system isn't perfectly executed, but is an interesting mechanic. You can sacrifice some experience to read a person's mind, hoping to obtain a skill point or tips to the location of a treasure.

Cons:

Graphics aren't great. You'll get used to them, they aren't awful. Probably comparable to a 360 launch title.

Difficulty can be VERY punishing even on easy if you don't explore every nook & cranny, and do every side quest. I did every single quest I could find, and I still only beat the last boss by spamming health potions.

Lock-on system needs a lot of work. It's pretty tough to target a specific enemy, I ended up just hammering attack and letting auto-target do its thing.

Not enough explanation/direction. Now I'm the last guy to argue for hand-holding, but some quests simply gave you an object/character to find and nothing else. No tips on how to find them, no indicators, location guides, or clues on who to talk to. It takes a long time to search, I resorted to gu
