Divinity II: Ego Draconis Preview

RPGamer has whipped up a quick preview of Divinity II: Ego Draconis, after checking out the RPG sequel firsthand during the recent Penny Arcade Expo.

We loaded a random save in the game and got right into it. No one was around to assist us, which is sometimes how we like it. With Chris offering “tips” and me at the controls, we took right to the air. The heroine of the game can turn into a dragon, even in mid-fall. I flew off toward the towers tossing arrows and begin to burn them down. There was no inertia in flying, so I was a dodging machine. That is, until I backed up into one of those anti-dragon shields and was cut down in a matter of seconds.

Undiscouraged, I restarted the same save and made sure not to fly backwards. Using various flight tactics and trying to avoid incoming fire, I took down the ballista towers, but then couldn’t figure out how to get to the big ones. In the end, I morphed back into female form and rushed in a random direction until I found two bad people. With few words exchanged, we battled and I came out on top, but their bosses were not pleased. I rejected their offers to join their evil ways and cut them down as well.
