No joke, I installed the open-beta/pre-release years ago, played for a bit, and uninstalled it. When the actual release dropped, I had the most intense déjà vu about it all because I forgot that had even happened. I had to go back to my Steam library to puzzle it all back together.

A lot of folks are listing their favorite games but this is the one that truly fits.
Unusually long development time by a studio known for DnD-simmiliar RPG games getting the next installation for the series that defined the genre.

Just chock filled references to DnD lore, cute in-jokes, and faithful updates on old characters.
Everyone involved clearly loved it!

Divinity: Dragon Commander, duh.
