IGN GC 2008: Divinity 2: Ego Draconis First Look

IGN writes: "What happens when a dragon slayer is cursed with the ability to turn into a dragon himself? My guess is a rip in the time-space continuum and the end of the universe, but to find out what developers Larian Studios think you’ll have to play Divinity 2: Ego Draconis when releases on Xbox 360 and PC in the second quarter of 2009. The action-RPG from the makers of Divine Divinity and Beyond Divinity are gearing up to release a game filled with fast-paced combat, high-flying dragons, and choices that have far-reaching consequences. We got our first look at the title in Germany at the annual Games Convention.

Ego Draconis begins with your main character being initiated into the role of a dragon slayer. There’s a dire need for his kind since those pesky flying lizards are pure evil in this world and cause quite a commotion when they come around. This makes things interesting later in the game when a curse causes you to be able to switch back and forth between human and dragon forms. Aside from moral problems, this ability allows you to access new areas both by flying, and by going places where the opposite being isn’t welcome."
