This is not strictly used to advance quest plots, as you can use it to learn the location of secret caches and the passwords to access them. A very nice feature of the title is the mind reading, by which you can extract additional information from NPC. The game has a nice dose of humor, with a lot of snappy comebacks and witty, snake-tongued dialog options. Of course, this makes item hunting very exciting, and you'll find yourself often reloading the game, only to defeat a boss once more, in hopes of better loot. The quest rewards, as well as all the other loot, are completely random, so it's not like siding with one faction of the quest will guarantee you a sought-after reward. There's also a moral choice involved with most of them, but there are no obvious consequences involved. The side quests are nice and most of them involve multiple ways by which you can solve them.

The story is decent enough, and even promises more as you advance through the title. The character is build completely without restrictions.ДЄs for the rest of the game, things seem pretty good. You can choose the path of the warrior and, from there on, invest all you skills in archery, or magic. All skills from all classes are available to you, to no obvious detriment. When leaving your initiation ritual, you can only have one of the three possible class skills assigned, so you would assume that this is your class choice, but it's not. During the tutorial, you are told that you must choose a path and you are given one skill out of each specialization to try out against some low-level foes. Other than that, the game lets you start your journey down three paths, that of the warrior, the ranger and the mage, but these are not the distinct paths that one might expect. And we can imagine quite a few ourselves. Known for getting into trouble a lot, Dragon Slayers often make use of the service of an illusionist to change their appearance, and even though we are told that these minor modifications will get us out of a lot of otherwise tricky situations, we are warned that changing our sex may have unforeseen consequences. You get your moderate character customization, like gender, face and hair style, but these can be changed along the way. The game has several standard RPG elements, but has certain distinct features as well. It's an action RPG set in a mystical world, where dragons, an ancient race, are taking thier final breath. Ego Draconis is part of the Divinity series, with previous installments like the first Divine Divinity and its direct sequel, Beyond Divinity. Still, Larian Studios managed to create a very interesting, role-playing game. After all, the competition was something beyond normal opponents. It may have been utterly outshone by Dragon Age: Origins, but that doesn't really insult Divinity II: Ego Draconis in any way.
