The character creation editor lacks the depth of most RPGs and MMOs available these days, but it is only fair to say that it includes all the essential features expected by reasonable players. One can choose the gender, facial appearance and some distinct elements such as tattoos or scars, but in the end your hero will look pretty cool regardless of your decisions. On the good side, you are given the option of deciding for either a warrior, ranged champion or mage after talking to the trainer and browsing through the talents.

It would be unfair to state that Divinity 2 is only as good as its storyline, because this is a nice looking game with an addictive gameplay, but I must say that the excellent narrative is its best asset. After a fierce war between the mortal armies and the ancient race of the dragons, the humans finally prevailed and exterminated nearly all their foes. The main villain is Damian, also known as the Damned, whose betrayal lead to the tragic death of Lucian the Divine, champion of humanity. While Damian somehow managed to evade the vengeful Slayers, these elite warriors are devoting their entire lives to hunt down the last surviving Dragon.

In the beginning you are just an apprentice, anxious to learn more about the ways of a Slayer, preparing for the unlikely encounter with the loathed being. When a dragon is spotted near Rivellon, the heart of the human empire, the training is almost over and you are ready for the final, most important lessons. Two revered Slayers will grant you the ability of mind reading and the power to resist the most vicious mental attacks a dragon can deliver. Such as it is, the first quests become available in a nearby village, immersing you into one of the most engaging stories offered by a RPG.
