Agreed wholeheartedly with the initial post. I tried to get into the game three times. Never made it past the first town. It was just so utterly boring. I don't mind reading, but there was nothing to read. Or at least nothing even remotely interesting. You know what RPG had a ton of reading? Planescape: Torment. That game made you read a ton, but it was bloody fascinating. Or Baldur's Gate 2 - definitely more generic than Planescape, but presents the generic setting with quality writing and interesting plotlines. Divinity? It's not only uninteresting, but also terribly written (as in, both the form and the content of the writing were shoddy). And the game insists on you enduring through all that drivel. Thank the gods that Pillars of Eternity came out not too long after and pretty much did the same stuff, only much much better...
