I was looking for help killing dragon riders online and I came across this
http://lparchive.org/Divine-Divinity/Update%20107/

Why didn't I get that part of the game? Why is my divine divinity missing it? I only got a cutscene and went directly to the wastelands.

Check out the bottom of the page ('Behind the Scenes' section); that LP is mixing in some fiction. From the introduction:
I'll be doing the LP both as an informative LP, and as a first-person narrative. The game's own writing has a good supply of comedy and sarcasm, so there will be plenty of humor as well. The main character has a bit of a personality, being snarky comes naturally to him or her. I am aware that first-person narratives aren't the most popular medium here, especially for plot-heavy games, but I specifically constructed my story to not interfere with the main plot, although I will not say they are unrelated. The aspects of the main character which my narrative reveals were crafted to be relevant to the main plot of the game. Almost everything has a purpose.

Mostly though, the narrative is there to give the world added depth and detail. I won't be writing any romance or sex scenes, and the main character will not substitute swearing every fourth word for wit.

To assist my narrative, I'll be making extensive use of faked/photoshopped images, which are very easy to make in the game. I'll also be adding and changing some dialogue. I'll change as little of the original dialogue as possible, jsut enough to make it seem less awkward (like having the main character introduce himself). At the end of each update I'll include a Behind the Scenes section which includes a map (if applicable), and details such as "What's fake in this update?". The "What's fake" stuff will be in spoiler-tags to preserve immersion as much as possible, while still being honest.

oooohhhhh, damn i got scared my game was bugged or something hehe.
thanks
BTW, did you find any suggestions for the dragon riders? I fought 3 or 4 of them at once in the wastelands, spent much of the fight frozen, but my level 52, or so, warrior barely took any damage. You can use a potion to boost your resistances (if you can not buy any, you can mix restoration and stamina potions to create some), or try hit and run tactics to separate them (IIRC there were 1 or 2 alone in my game and then a small group).

The various techniques for defeating Josephine (Chasing Josie...) should work with any strong opponent.

Yeah I'm having a really hard time even scratching one of them. Im a survivor character and I go down in a couple of hits from them. Thanks for the tips I'll check them out in a few hours, right now I need a break, I've been shooting arrows into imps for a few hours already.
Spell Shield will absorb the first few magical/poison hits, and Aura of Guarding physical damage, so would give you a little more time to target specific dragon riders, etc (don't recall if they use any physical attacks).

I've seen people playing archer characters recommend Summon Vermin and Skeletal Wall to use as a distraction. I don't think either would last very long, but even a short time being able to attack freely could make a difference. If you have any scorpion traps, and the Deadly Gift skill, they would also help (being over-powered, a couple of them could probably take out the dragon riders for you).

I had no idea those scorpion traps were so strong, I ended up using them up until the end. The final boss died so fast i didn't even notice his health bar. Thanks for the help.
