So I finished Dragon Commander and thus I have all Divinity series on my belt. My ranking:
Hey guys. Just finished D:OS 2 and I have kinda mixed feelings about ending and game overall. (Originally refused to give up source, got my ass kicked beyond oblivion, then gave up, choose to give up source. In bossfight Lucian and his guys mostly killed Bracuss but I Ascended to divinity anyway. Ending slides then felt extremely disconected). And when I look at whole game, I think that in many aspects D:OS is better.
D:OS 1 is extremely satisfyingly balanced. You get always XP and level up just eneogh to progress game. Combat felt also more satisfying without armor system D:OS2 introduced. It have enough of challenge but never turned very frustrating. In D:OS2 it always feel you're lacking level and XP and you feel et extremely in the last act of game when I honestly cheesed a lot often and I described my problems up there. When you're good guy, you often don't get reward.
Story is much better in D:OS 2 for bout 90% but in the end it fell apart. It is story that is definitely about journey, not destination. D:OS 2 had a bit weaker but overall consistent writing.
And last thing - music and atmosphere is sooo much better in D:OS1.
What is your opinion?
