Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition

Ive been Alpha testing this game for a while after playing the First Original Sin, they have gone above and beyond AGAIN. didnt think Story let alone gameplay could be beaten, refined and improved, they just showed they can.

Masterpiece, enough said.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition is a continuation of the game style laid down in Divinity: Original Sin. it has been said enough about how good a game it is, I enjoyed playing D:OS1 and look forward to immersing myself in 2. My only issue is the handling by Larian and GOG in the distribution of the game. The System requirements on the game page at GOG state Storage: 25 GB available space. Divinity: Original Sin takes just 10.1GB on my hard drive. The download size of Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition is 45.6 GB and takes over eight hours on a relatively fast connection to download. It takes over a half hour to install and the final installation size is 54 GB. When you start the game a menu offers the option to play the new Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition or the classic edition with the warning that old classic saves will not work in the Definitive Edition. Looks like some genius decided to make us download and install both versions in case we have old save files! Where did we get the old save files from? The classic version already installed maybe? I don't know. So, if you already have the classic version installed why do you need to download and reinstall it? Why couldn't there be two separate installs to choose from so only 25 GB of space was really needed for either the Classic or the new Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition? Keep this in mind if you have limited space on your hard drive or a slow download speed and hopefully this will be addressed in the reasonable future.

For me the game was disappointing. I tried hard to like it and I tried several times to start it again and again. The story seems promising, the humor is good, the characters are decent....BUT the fights..the fights. The sluggish fighting system destroyed everything for me. Maybe I am too much used to Baldurs Gate / Icewind Dale etc. where you can choose between real time fighting and round based or maybe I am only not good and ambitious enough. Yes there are a ton of skills and tactic possibilities but imo they are for nothing when a little fights lasts for twenty minutes and you fell asleep during an enemy move. I am very sorry because I was looking forward to play this game....
