About Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga
The long-besieged realm of Rivellon continues to be plagued by strife and conflict. Decades ago, the divine prophet of a holy order was murdered by a Dragon Knight. Blessed with superhuman power and the ability to transform into their namesake and take to the skies with the might of fire to aid them, these Knights suddenly became outcasts in Rivellon, condemned for the killing of the holy order's leader. Hunted mercilessly by Slayers, followers of the Divine now vigilantly committed to avenging the assassination of their prophet, the Knights soon became scarce.

During the final attack that would result in the extermination of the Dragon Knights, you-a lone Slayer separated from your group, stumble upon a dying Knight. With her final breath, she grants you her abilities, insisting that all is not as it seems. You arise the last living Dragon Knight, shunned by your former Slayer allies, gifted with supernatural powers, and tasked with
exploring the true nature of your age-old conflict...

Key Features
The complete Divinity II saga in one package—With the remastered Ego Draconis and its thrilling conclusion Flames of Vengeance together on one jam-packed disc (along with all previously released DLC), The Dragon Knight Saga offers over 100 hours of rich fantasy roleplaying and gamers' first chance to experience the entire Divinity II adventure from start to finish!
Wage war as human and dragon—You begin the adventure as a human Dragon Slayer but are soon transformed into a Dragon Knight with the ability to change into dragon form at will. From here, perspectives shift as both your skills and objectives adapt to encompass the concerns of land and air, human and dragon.
Dynamically unfolding storyline—Apart from your primary mission, the open land of Rivellon and its many secrets and surprises lie in wait for the daring explorer. Every nook and cranny potentially hides a new path to explore, while the protagonist's ability to read the mind of any NPC can lead to new quests to solve and new areas to discover. Take on over 180 missions, and watch the storyline change according to your choices and skills.

THANK YOU ATLUS!!! 1000 TIMES THANK YOU!!

I have been praying someone would publish this on Xbox 360 in the US, and my prayers have been answered!

Divinity II is one of my favorite RPGs of all time, and definitely my fave of 2010.

By the way, I was the The Dragon Knight sweepstakes winner. :D

I offered whatever publisher would bring Divinity II TKS to the US my Dragon Knight trophy. Offer still stands if you pay for shipping. :)

My copy is pre-ordered, I encourage all of you to do the same, this game is phenomenal.

I really enjoyed Ego Draconis and figured I'd have to just accept that I wasn't going to play the expansion. Thanks for fixing that, Atlus.

I wonder if I'll be able to pick up where I left off on my original game or if I'll have to start from scratch... :question:

Please Calm down. There are several ATLUS games I do like. Just very few that have been comming out recently so thats why it appears that i don't like any of the games when in fact i do. Also, im not the only one that expressed dislike for any of the games im just the only one who gets any crap about it.

Olethros

I already was calm and I'm not giving you crap. Trust me, if I was there wouldn't be much question of it. I was simply curious.

It's perfectly fine to express dislike. I do it all the time, in fact. I try to give reasons along with it, however. So what is it that you don't like about SMT or this game? Doesn't have to be a long, drawn out answer - just something simply so that it looks like you actually gave it some thought as opposed to just being disagreeable.

KingofPrinces, if we could satisfy everyone's individual tastes and localize every game everyone desired, sure, that'd be a ideal little world. But we can't, and when you don't get the game you want, you can:

A. Evaluate the games we do localize on their individual merits and decide whether or not they are worth your time
B. Hold it against us and refuse to buy anything else, all while making snide comments riffing off the "no plans at this time" line every PR guy in every company uses when pressed about a game announcement they aren't going to/aren't ready to make. "Voting with your wallet", essentially.

You're doing B, which has more logical fallacies than I should go into here. And the reason why people get on your case is because you're making your stance very clear on every single announcement or suggestion for a title you don't want. I've even seen it on our youtube page. And plain and simple, that's not helping your case.

I've heard of this series before, which is always nice. It's nice to see Atlus take a risk like this, considering how the first two games didn't do too well over here. Hope it pays off.

EDIT: The best part about this for me, is that they finally updated the home webpage! Yay!

Personally the original version of this game stunk like a big pile of rotten bananas. However I understand the expansion was actually pretty neat and many of the patches/fixes resolved alot of the issues. I would be willing to give the game a second chance when this "complete" version arrives.

Hm, this has some sick potential, it looks like it plays like a highbrd between a Diablo Clone(and omg, the dragon form being able to equip special armor as well, is sexy as hell), and a dog fighting game when you're in Dragon form.

Awesome localizeation(It's kind of ironic, even though the 360 sells like crap in Japan, somehow they still end up with the best games being developed there, while we get flooded with FPS, and little of anything else).

Thanks, Atlus. I hope Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga and The Cursed Crusade means we'll be getting more western centric titles from Atlus. I remember buying Galleon and supporting Atlus ever since. Such an underappreciated and quirky adventure that was. You're the best at supporting smaller and amazing titles, Atlus. Keep it up. I've already pre-ordered Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga. The OST is a nice bonus. Divinity is a stellar franchise. Despite a few issues, Ego Draconis was amazing. Seeing that The Dragon Knight Saga fixes its few issues, this is a no-brainer for RPG fans. Great package.

There was a Divinity I...? Well, I think can guess where this is coming from. Oh, well.

Yes, it's known as Divine Divinity. It's one of the best RPG titles ever.

I agree -- it was pretty much unplayable, due to the crappy controls. Although I do tend to pre-order Atlus releases, I'm a bit hesitant on this one. I guess I'll wait to see how it reviews.

While it had flaws, the notion that it's "unplayable" is untrue. I have 1000/1000 Gamerscore for Ego Draconis. The Dragon Knight Saga has been out in Euro territories for a while, so you can see the reviews and player feedback if you so choose to do a search for it. It's garnered very nice review scores. Instead of writing something off, do a search and see what the general consensus is.

Yeah, unplayable is way too harsh. It was by no means a perfect game, but it was fun for the most part. It nailed exploration exceptionally well. Overall I got 920/1000 and I frustrate easily so if it was truly unplayable I would've quit long before the ending.

Two Worlds (the first one) was, IMO, a good example of a game that was pretty much unplayable. While it technically worked for the most part, it had such poor framerate stutters that it gave me a headache, which then made the entire game unplayable for me. I don't even need to mention everything else that was wrong with that game. :tongue:

Me too. And I did it all within a month, and so was able to win the sweeps they had going. :)

The number one thing to remember when playing this game is attention to detail. You need to extreme attention to detail and an appreciation of British/Euro humor to fully appreciate this game, which I view more like a work of art.

And I also played and finished Divine Divinity. Also a work of art. Too bad Beyond Divinity wasn't up to par.

But you are missing out on another gem! I got past the framerate issues, and underneath that, Two Worlds was ALMOST as good as Divinity II.

The original game had alot of issues, some bug problems, and many little balance tweaks that were needed. Patches took care of alot of it but apparently the expac addressed more of it and tied off the story in a more satisfying manner at the same time.

Two Worlds is not an overlooked gem for the record Elektro. However! Two Worlds 2 did just come out in the US (PC release set for 2/08/11) and it is a much more polished product over the original and has raised the bar quite a bit. So if you like that type of RPG (top down view, more western flavor IE: Baldur's Gate) it is definitely worth serious consideration. I will be picking up the pc version in a couple weeks.

I love the Gothic games (even Arcania), Venetica, Risen, Divinity franchise, Sacred 2, The Witcher, etc., but I couldn't stand Two Worlds. Hated the acting, the combat, the technical issues, the graphics, the animations, etc. I just hated it all. However, Two Worlds II is great.

It was better than Madworld, I assure you. Though I liked Madworld, even though its repetitive nature started to grind my gears after a few hours. I can't wait for Max Anarchy (Anarchy Reigns).

Today I'm playing the Dragon Knight Saga on my Xbox (I'm from Europe) with the last patch (including also nightmare difficulty mode :D !) ...

Even the original Ego Draconis was a great RPG and
NOW, the DKS is absolute amazing !!
If I must give both a score, I give Ego Draconis a 7/10 and the DKS at least 9/10 !!
Especially for me I wish to give the DKS 10/10 , but to say: I also love very very much Divine Divinity (PC only, but you can buy a steam-version of this masterpiece on GOG or Impulse) , Larian Studios first RPG in the Divinity Uiverse ;)
For me the DKS is a newborn Masterpiece ! I assure you I Love it much more than Ego Draconis (and I played ED almost twice to the final end)

If you like a real challenge, play DKS on nightmare mode ! It's feasible so far (now my female hero is level 8 ).

Good to know the reviews are great but I was sold when I saw the video where your character could transform into a dragon which in my book is friggin awesome. I got my sister interested in this so she can take a break from Dragon Age 2. I can't wait for Tuesday to come. ^_^

As much as it pains me to say it this game is superior to DA2 in every way except for graphics and potentially combat (they both handle combat in different ways so it is hard to compare). The story starts fairly normal but revs up soon enough, you get no voice but the dialog in general is a bit more entertaining, this version will be basically bug free, much more open ended in how you can play, every area of the game is hand made, and it has around 100 hours of gameplay.

If you like traditional action RPG's you won't find a better one releasing any time soon. The only way I could understand a fan of this genre passing on this one was if they had already bought the game and it's expac in an earlier release. Heck this version is not only the most complete one, but it also has a soundtrack and costs less than the original Ego Draconis did.

Picked it up today, will try it later. If it's good I'll preorder Cursed Crusade even though the two aren't related in the least.

Lucky you, do to inclement weather my local gamestop's deliveries were delayed and they won't have to game until tomorrow ;p

I already pre-ordered that. I love the advertisement for it on the back on the DKS manual.

Well it is an NTSC disc but beyond that it never says specifically and I have no non US system to test it on. So I can't really say if it is region locked or not, I know the euro release supposedly was.

Why did you reply when you have nothing to say?

Wow I guess being nice and confirming it was NTSC was just not enough. I will be sure not to even attempt replying to anything you say in the future even if I could write a book on it. Good luck with getting your answer if you are always this polite I am sure loads of people will line up to assist you.

Of course it's NTSC - it's the US release. If you have nothing useful to say, I have no problem with you not replying to me in the future.
