The updated game of the year edition: Dragon Knight, hopes to address these issues while including the full expansion to boot. Coming out of Belgium, Last years Divinity II suffered from poor porting on the XBOX and less than stellar reviews.

The Divinity series by Larian Studios is perhaps, at least in our own country, a rather unrepresented series of better than average role playing. Game Name: Divinity II (Ego Draconis) : The Dragon Knight Saga
