Sadly you’ve just got to persevere as the good stuff really is worth waiting for. You’ll groan and complain at these moments, but it’ll get back to the interesting stuff eventually.
At some points it will be the one of the most interesting stories you’ve played in a long time, things will happen that you really weren’t expecting, and then there are the times when it feels like the writers have just ripped out pages from The Lord of the Rings and pasted them into the design document. The true story will be unravelled over about 100 hours of gameplay and varies greatly in how interesting it is. That’s the story as the good people of Rivellon see it anyway, that’s not to say that it’s exactly what happened though.
STORY: At the start of the game you are tasked with completing your training as a Dragon Slayer, a very elite group of people who are given the sole responsibility of rounding up and killing the last remaining Dragon Knights for the crime of siding with the “Dark One” and helping to kill the Divine. I fear that calling it “The Sine Wave of Gaming” might be a little too geeky, and reveal my love of number crunching and statistics, so I’ll just say that Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga has it’s ups and downs. Say hello to Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga, the game that takes everything you loved about normal RPG’s, makes them a little more tedious in some places but then redeems itself by letting you turn into a dragon. But you’re one of the good guys, so it’s all cool. After all that’s said and done you more than likely went out and spent countless days killing goblins, looting corpses and just about everything else that would, in modern days, be considered abhorrent.
If you’re a fan of sword and sorcery then you’ve probably played an RPG or two, you’ve undoubtedly spent a good few hours setting up your character, making sure their facial features are exactly to your specifications (even though you’ll be looking at the back of their head for the most part, or it’ll all be covered by some glorious helmet you found on a corpse), making sure their stats are perfect, perhaps you’ve even consulted the internet to make sure they’re all correct and as good as they can possibly be.
