    Already one of the greatest RPG games of all time, the new enhanced edition of Divinity: Original Sin improves the game on so many levels that it touches a level of almost absolute perfection.

    Larian Studios has taken an already brilliant game and made it better. Original Sin Enhanced Edition is borderline perfect. [Dec 2015, p.59]

    Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition offers a well-written story, in-depth character development and tactical combat that will be more than enough to please most tactical fans.

    Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition is a grand adventure that rewards those who are patient enough to wade through some of the game's less polished aspects.

    There was an obvious effort to lessen the User Score of this game but it won't work simply because it's so good.
    Any person that enjoys RPGs
    There was an obvious effort to lessen the User Score of this game but it won't work simply because it's so good.
    Any person that enjoys RPGs should play D:OS and even more now with the Enhanced Edition.
    It's a really wonderful game with excellent mechanics, very very few bugs, pretty visuals, a deep character system and many many more good aspects that should be enjoyed, not written in a review.
    And D:OS 2 is on the way! Hurray!!!

Unlike most RPGs, it’s designed with co-op in mind -you even control two protagonists in the single-player version, roleplaying different motivations through conversations. Larian designed encounters thinking that someone could always disagree, or ruin things for you, or even kill the NPC you need to talk to, meaning that quests have to be solvable in unorthodox ways.

    The writing in Divinity is consistently top-notch. Sure, sometimes you’ll have to destroy a goblin riding a giant mechanical robot, or talk to a dog to solve a quest. But that dog may have a heartbreaking story for you, and maybe you’ll cry just a little. Larian commits to Divinity’s world, and that commitment pays off. This is the kind of freeform, epic, party-based RPG we haven’t had since the days of Ultima, and it’s exactly what true gamers love from an RPG.

And in 8 out of 10 cases you can do exactly that. Kill the quest giver and still finish the quest, pick pocket him, do the actual quest etc.

    Also look up the original game (here on metacritic http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/divinity-original-sin ) its at 8.7 and the enhanced edition corrected most of its flaws.

    Everything that has been said about divinity original sin is true for the enhanced edition except that is enhanced ...

    AND: if you own the original game on steam/gog the enhanced edition is FREE! any questions?
