Divinity Anthology – Developers Journal

Players are given a choice of starting packages for their character during the tutorial, but progression is freeform, and the player is free to develop their character in a different direction if they want to. Skills are grouped into schools which correspond to traditional roles, but all skills are available to all characters, allowing mixing between these roles. Multiple forms of crafting exist: alchemy, which allows the player to create potions; necromancy, which allows a player to customize a summonable undead pet; and enchanting, which upgrades the characters equipment.

After the initial release ofEgo Draconis, Larian was interested in releasing an updated version that would fix many of the bugs and issues with the first game and improve the performance of the engine. At the same time, they developed an expansion that would come after the end of the game, as many people had complained that the original ending of the game had been unsatisfying. The updates to the main game and the expansion were sold together as theFlames of Vengeanceadd on, or bundled with the core game asThe Dragon Knight Saga.[7]Flames of VengeanceandThe Dragon Knight Sagawere released in Germany in August 2010, and in all other language versions in November 2010.[8][9]There was no retail United States release ofThe Dragon Knight Sagauntil it was released on the Xbox 360 on April 12, 2011, along with a soundtrack CD and an art book.

For the tenth anniversary of the Divinity series and the release of the Divinity Anthology, Larian made another update to the game, calling the final versionDivinity II: Developers Cut, which included design documents, concept art, and the ability to access the developers console in-game through a second executable file.

The defining feature ofDivinity IIis the ability to switch between aerial combat as a dragon, and more traditional third-person action-role playing gameplay as a human. It is the third game in theDivinityfranchise, and the firstDivinitygame to be released on consoles as well as forMicrosoft Windows.

GameZones Dan Liebman gave both the PC and Xbox 360 versions an 8.4, saying Strong narrative and open-ended design are the highlights of this fantasy experience. Divinity II: Ego Draconis will likely be overlooked by many due to the timing of its release, but it offers a genuinely engrossing world for RPG buffs to wallow in.[16]GameZone also gave the Dragon Knight Saga a 7 out of 10, stating Although the graphical improvements are appreciated, newcomers expecting a visual powerhouse shouldnt get their hopes up. A good number of glitches can still be found, visual inconsistencies being one of the most striking. Your overall perception of Rivellons scope isnt quite the same as a Bethesda RPGits a limited field of view, despite the actual grandeur of the world.[17]

The main focus of the game is on traditional action-role playing gameplay, which includes completing quests, exploring the game world, and interacting with a variety of non-player characters.Divinity IIutilizes some elements of games likeDiablo,such as a focus on upgrading equipment, randomized magical effects on equipment, unique item sets that offer greater benefits when used together, and some quest mechanics such as markers to show that an NPC will offer a quest to the player. However, it also uses elements from more traditionalcomputer role playing games, such as branching conversation trees, choices which affect other events in the game, and non-combat segments, such as platforming or puzzle elements. When interacting with non-player characters, the player will often have the option to read their minds, which can provide information, extra choices in a quest, or equipment, at a certain cost to their experience points. The experience debt then has to be repaid before they can gain experience again.

After a certain point in the game, the character gains a base of operations known as the Battle Tower, as well as the ability to become a dragon in large spaces. Dragon combat works similarly to ground-based combat, but in three dimensions; as a dragon, the character still has a regular attack as well as skills they can use, and equipment to improve their abilities.

The game takes place in the world of Rivellon fromDivine Divinity, although much time has passed since the end ofDivine Divinity. The player character starts out as a Dragon Slayer at the end of their training, when they are given draconic powers as a way to help fight the last remaining dragons. These powers also erase their memories of their training, but they are reassured that their memories will return quickly. The regular proceedings are interrupted by news of a dragon sighted nearby, so before the initiation is finished, the player character is rushed off with them to where the dragon was last seen.

Michael, Jon.Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga Review – Xbox 360

Development onDivinity IIbegan around 2006, after Larian Studios had acquired enough money to begin development on aDivinitysequel in earnest. From the beginning, the game was planned with the feature of transforming into a dragon in mind, and even included a third form, halfway between the dragon and human forms, which would have served as a powerful form for fighting on the ground. However, it was not implemented in the final game, though the model was reused for enemies in the game. The original concepts included more areas, based on the original map of Rivellon inDivine Divinity, as well as features like multiplayer, co-op, and a greater importance given to the Battle Tower.[4]

In the expansion,Flames of Vengeance, the Dragon Knight wakes in a crystal prison on the plane of Hypnoteromachia, where Lucien, the Divine, the messiah figure to Rivellon, is also imprisoned. A ghost called Behrilin comes and offers to free the Divine if the Dragon Knight will help to free him from his earthly prison. The ghost transports him to the last city in Rivellon after Damians campaign of destruction, only still standing due to the magic shield created by the powerful wizard Zandalor. He begs the players help to destroy the invading force and shore up the citys defenses before the shield is broken.

Following the success ofDivinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga, Larian expressed an interest in creating moreDivinitygames, while also developing the dragon gameplay that was featured inDivinity II. They have announced that one of their next planned games is going to be an action-real time strategy game, with the main character as a Dragon Knight at a time in Rivellons history when there were many Dragon Knights. The game was released August 6, 2013, and is titledDivinity: Dragon Commander.

The game uses theGamebryoengine,[5]known for its use inOblivionandFallout 3.[6]
