Divinity II: Flames of Vengeance - News

To face the enemy under the city of Aleroth, the player can either import his old character or create a new one who will start out at level 35 with a good amount of gold in his pocket. The gameplay remains completely the same as in the main game. The add-on doesn't add additional talents or spells to the game. Instead the player still chooses from one of five classes, earns experience points by completing quests and killing enemies, levels up and gets some skill points to distribute among his many available talents to be used in combat. New items including more powerful weapons and armor. Since the player character begins the game already as a Dragon Knight, the Dragon form is available from the onset. The player cannot, however, teleport back to his Dragon Tower and transform into a full Dragon because his teleport stone has been destroyed.

As opposed to the main game, the add-on focuses more on solving quests by thinking and less on simple combat, although there are often several paths available to overcome some of the obstacles. In addition the player won't really leave Aleroth during the whole game, making the stories behind the quests and the overall threat of Ygerna and Damien the driving factor of the player's avatar.
