Fun but flawed
This game merges a multitude of elements to produce a game that is decent in every respect but excells at none. The politic system is fun and may at times have you pacing around your room considering the consequenses of your impending decision, while at other times it feels completely arbitrary. The RTS component is initially irritating until you get the hang of it, then it's fun for a while to then becoming something you tire of an try to avoid .The two things that I enjoyed the most with Divinity:Dragon Commander are the interactions you have with the characters aboard the raven and resource managment on the strategic worldmap. The character interactions mostly came down to choosing between two options, one clerly right and one clearly wrong, but it was still interesting to hear the well voiceacted reactions from your crew. The world map strategy I found engaging and required some thought. "Do I spend my money to buy some new facilities or do I buy more soldiers to reinforce a region which might be attacked in a few turns. Unfortunately the game can be quite easily exploited thus nulifing any challange you may encounter at the later chapters of the game. After all is said and done Divinity: Dragon commander is a very decent game, none of it's systems are great nor are they terrible. It mixes grand strategy with Real-time strategy and some light politic systems. If you have a weekend to kill this is a unique concept that is quite enjoyable.
