Divinity 2: Ego Draconis Preview

IGN has put together a short preview of Divinity 2: Ego Draconis, presumably after seeing Larian’s RPG sequel firsthand at cdv Software’s recent press event.

After running through the basics once more, we were given a look at the Battle Tower. This is a special building you’ll gain access to roughly six hours into the game that will act as a home for your character. There you can do anything from storing valuables to upgrading your character. It’s a place you’ll be spending a lot of time at if you get hooked on Divinity 2.

The tower has a series of platforms for you to visit and take advantage of. Before you can, you’ll have to recruit inhabitants. Each one you find has specific talents, so choosing one as your alchemist over another will reflect how you want to play. The first platform we saw is one where you can build a minion that can be summoned to fight alongside you in battle. By finding limbs, heads, and bodies (most often in boss fights) you’ll be able to play a Frankenstein of sorts to piece together your monster.
