Larian studios announced the sequel to Divine Divinity, their previous (critically acclaimed) RPG game. It will be release on both PC and Xbox 360. First screens + video (on the right side of the page) here:

Looks good, like a mix between Oblivion and The Witcher. Let's hope they keep the atmosphere and the depth of the original. :)

About freaking time! Maybe I'll complete DD and BD before it comes out... probably not though ;) *pokes Larian to get on with it* Oddly enough I did reinstall BD just a week ago...

Have to say it's looking absolutely gorgeous

It does, for such a small(ish) company. If they can keep the gameplay...could become a classy addition to the RPG's out there.

I like the original DD better than BD though Pev, the latter is more of a (very intricate) Diablo-style game imho. DD is true RPG ;)

Oh I prefer DD too, but BD is still awesome (and annoyingly hard) plus it had the booklet from Rhianna Pratchett :P

True enough ;)


The website for the game is up

http://www.divinity2.com/

Not much there yet, except for the amazing music by Kirill Pokrovsky, who was already responsible for the (award-winning) soundtracks of DD and BD.

P.S. In case anyone wondered, Ego Draconis is latin for "I, of the dragon" or more loosely translated "I am the son of the dragon(s)". Latin rox0rs.

Just a short preview

Apparently, you can transform into a (small) dragon in game (Pev!). But it has its drawbacks, obviously. People aren't too happy to see dragons, by and large. :P

More interesting stuff:

Quote:
Like many role-playing games, Ego Draconis features a deep class and skill system, which you can pick and choose from to craft your character to your liking. Where it gets more interesting is in the dragon slayer's special skills. This character can read minds, something that will become quite important given the branching quests this game features. How you choose to complete quests can have long reaching rewards…or consequences.

We saw a very basic example of this in a standard goblin hunting quest. Richard of Aleroth offers up this little mission, saying he'll pay you for each goblin heart you bring back. You can simply accept the quest and get paid for your work, or you can read Richard's mind. It turns out he isn't going to pay you a fair price for the hearts. You can then cut out the middle man and go direct to the person he was going to sell them to or refuse the quest outright. Refusing a quest doesn't end it. If you're not going to do it, Richard will take off to do it himself. Later you might bump into him out in the forest, surrounded by goblins. From there, you have a few more decisions to make and the chain of quests continues.

We saw another quest that started as with a simple request to deliver a letter. Depending upon how you choose to complete the quest, people could end up dead, you could end up with a powerful amulet, families could be destroyed, or you might even end up having the blacksmith permanently jack up prices on you for stabbing him in the back. Sounds a lot more interesting than some of the simplistic events we've grown used to in most RPGs.

Finally another decent RPG, i was already afraid that anime had killed the normal rpg genre.

This (poor quality) video from the Leipzig Games Convention of this weekend shows the player changing into a dragon and flying around.

Changes shapes at about 3:57. The animation is still a little rigid but then it's still a beta so I'm guessing it'll change in time. :)

Not spectacular (yet), but the game isn't going to be out before mid 2009 anyway. Still a lot being optimized I reckon. But there's dragons!
