More than just a guided scenario, you can make your choice in the first act I have tried. I have played it 2 times: one time to be in the good side and the second time in coop for the dark side. Every side was funny to play. The interaction with the environment, the ambiance and the acting in the cinematic make it no comparable to divinity 2 and is much better. Yes, it doesn't seems to continue the scenario of Baldur's gate 2 but it's not a problem to be in the same universe with similarities. We have fun with the gameplay and choice so it the things to remember.
