Divinity: Dragon Commander

Soo much potential and soo little done. It could have been an awsome RTS but in the end i tried to be everyithng and ended up almost sh*t. What was is ? A jack of all trades is a master of none. I'd recomend the game if its on sale for 2-3$ like i bought it.

In a single campaign I was able to: Turn my vegan wife into a burger-loving alcoholic; Weigh in on genocide; Ban dwarven nudists; Preserve lesbian statues; Legalize medicinal weed; Piss off Yennefer so badly and so often that she founded a school for women to keep them away from me. A forgotten gem with some surprisingly dark themes. Charming voice acting and endearing characters. Simple RTS that's easy to cheese - come for the choices and the factions involved.

I played this on easy settings only, as I was more intrested in the plot than the RTS part of it, so I cannot comment much on that gameplay type. I'm not a super fan of this title, but out of two options Steam allows, I would recommend trying it. The characters you can talk to on the ship all have good voiceovers and are intersting figures, they give a nice overview of general approach from each race in Rivellon. I enjoyed how they were animated (worth paying attention to the background, some little animations did make me giggle a bit), and I liked the overall graphic design. The music was kind of fan, I found it very fast-paced, it made me want to play faster and faster XD

如果你是龙，也好。 这游戏确实挺弱的，但感觉又不是说弱到要红评。 只能说，不打折别买，想好了再买。 既有回合策略，又有RTS，还能化身为龙亲自下场吐火球，什么都有一点，什么都不咋好玩。 RTS系统比较原始，轻型快，重型猛，简单的相克猜拳，只要学会爆兵然后F2A就行。 第二章，轰炸气球很猛，尽快点出来，龙形态到中后期学会了攻击回血之后可以打得很惬意。 战略大地图部分就是建造和调动，不喜欢手操的多造几个议会、酒馆，用卡片去操作爆兵。 打得多了之后就不太想玩RTS模式了，中期就开始偷懒自动战斗，后期龙光环和被动点的多了直接凯瑞游戏。 唯一比较好的地方是指挥舰上的内政以及事件，也看起来像是拉瑞安做的最用力的地方。 四个公主候补新娘各自有不同的故事线，还有什么能比让一个精灵恶堕到喝大酒更令人快乐的呢。 不过最有意思的大概是骨头妹，推荐大家要看得长远，不要看一时的得失，要做价值投资。 几个将军也有一些自己的故事，Henry和两个姑娘飓风营救自己女儿的小故事很酷。 比较烦人的就是议会五个种族的政策导致支持度改变，继而导致该种族地区自动战斗的概率受到影响，属实是有点呕心。只能说如果是为了通关，可以考虑多牺牲一下精灵，毕竟也就第一章比较多。 整体运行没有任何问题，帧数也比较稳定， 唯一一次遇到比较离谱的bug是RTS模式里，建造进度条直接捅穿了那个槽，然后兵造不出来。属实是有点整蛊。 OST里面，战略大地图有两个曲子我非常喜欢 一首是钢琴曲，Watching The Clouds 一首混音异域风情的， For The Hand Of A Princess 没打通，感觉打不通了，不太想花时间在上面了……

It's been a long time since I played this game, but going back and looking through my library, I figured it deserved a recommendation, if purely for its uniqueness - I have never quite played a game like this and would have much liked some kind of Sequel. It's an Action game/RTS Hybrid, wherein you can transform into the eponymous Dragon commander to support your troops around an RTS map, though of course you cannot be everywhere at once. The Dragon part is probably a bit better than the RTS part, as the latter is relatively basic, but the combination is still unique. Outside of the map, there is a poltical layer where you can balance factions against each other to get advantages on the campaign map. Many of the choices you can choose to make in this layer are quite humorous, though sometimes they are also dark in tone - there is good balance. Or you can simply throw it out and simply play according to whatever your political leanings are - the options for both ends of the spectrum are there.

Gameplay? Fire (no pun intended). Writing? Bioware would be proud... the new-age Bioware, that is, because this game was ahead of its time, deserving a spot right next to the likes of Dragon Age: Veilguard and Forspoken. At this point, the authors might as well just write essays on what they think is bad and what the proper behavior should be, and then just put snippets from it in place of actual dialogue. Hotel? Trivago. Edit: Decided to go a bit more in-depth because this really was more of just an insult than a review lol. Gameplay is repetitive but becoming a dragon is fun enough. Hotel is Trivago. The main issues with the writing are that 1) it feels like whether you get a proper political problem or some pointless personal predicament of one of your officers is determined by a coin toss, and 2) the "decisions" just give quantitative returns. The second point is because the game's politics runs on a favor system checking how much a race likes you, and your decisions increase or decrease those values and that's it--you're looking at the world from such a macro perspective that you don't see the qualitative changes to your nation. The only decision I found interesting was the choice of spouse because that at least gives you a wholly different character and a storyline based on who you pick. The first point is what really made me eventually drop the game. On one hand, you get issues related to how to fund the war you are in or whether you should conscripts people or if building more and more roads (cutting down trees and upsetting elves) is really necessary for your demanding logistics. These are great (but ultimately just numbers on a digital paper due to the second point.) The other problems, however, range from "This other officer got drunk," to "I'm gay and want to come out of the closet publicly." When half your officers' problems are about the soap opera lives they are having while you're in the middle of a war of succession, and when the writers don't have any sort of nuance to their writing, the whole thing feels so stupid, I wanted to send all my officers on a parachute-less skydive from the (admittedly sick) zeppelin. Like, the first guy I spoke to might as well have written me a report on all his personal beliefs and what he thought of my late father, the Emperor, as well as all the politics behind his thoughts and unfortunately, I'm not even exaggerating.
