Divinity 2 - Preview @ Gamestar

A preview in German about Divinity 2 can be found at Gamestar.

They feel that Divine Divinity failed because it didn't match up to Diablo 2 and that the graphics were in 2D, which makes me wonder if they even played that game. Anyway in the article they can't help themselves and have a few references to Diablo 3 with respect to Divinity 2 to make clear the two games will be different.

The conclusion read likes this (part of it freely translated by me):

In the interview with Farhang Namdar (from Larian Studios), he told that he rather made Divinity 2 smaller in size than to have a large game with lacking contents. That is a welcome change to the oversized RPGs without a spirit.
After having played its technically rather weak predecessors, I hadn't expected to be so easily enchanted by the new Divinity. But the world looks wonderfully consistent, is continuously alluring and the multiple quest solutions show a lot of depth. The potential is there.
However I do not have much confidence in the current release date that was given.

That last statement came a bit out of the blue, but on the other hand, its probably true, like it is for almost any game.
