As you can probably discern from the tone of this review, I was not exactly bowled over by BD. Larian did obviously listen to their fans, and on the basis of this feedback tried to adjust the gameplay to deliver a better gaming experience set in the Divinity universe. However, you will inevitably find yourself getting tired of all the levers and keys, and frustrated by the scripting bugs and inventory glitches. I can also guarantee that from the very first frame of the opening storyboard sequence, the voice of the death knight will begin to grate on you. He sounds like a U.S. Marines drill seargent, full of in-your-face 'attitude', a voice that is totally out of place in a fantasy setting like this.

Well, here's hoping that Larian will learn from this experience too, and deliver the sort of brilliant gaming experience that was Divinity in next year's Divine Divinity 2!
