I haven't played in a few patches now so I can't speak for the changes but when I played you only have access to the starting area. That gave me a good 10 hours of play time but keep in mind I take my time and poke around everywhere. Mechanically it worked fine and gameplay was very much like the first one. They have changed some thing since then, added some new mechanics and did a major tweak to AI. I'm satisfied enough with what I saw.

That's about as far as I got. Agree, it looks powerful and not overly complex. That's great news. What I didn't see was the actual content creation toolset. We saw him GMing a group through custom content (including a cool custom in-game map), but we didn't get a look at how he actually crafted the content he was running the players through. GMing is only half of the equation.
I don't know how much content creation you guys did with the enhanced edition, I only did a little bit. While I found the toolset pretty powerful, I found the learning curve pretty steep, especially considering the toolset's complexity and the relative lack of instructional material. They put out a few tutorial vids that were appreciated but not amazingly helpful.
You can also double lonewolf, and just have 1 person do all that crap so you never have to talk to a vendor except on your primary

Their Kickstarter mail sent a video out where they went to Wizards of the Coast to demo the GM and it showed them creating the story. It looks pretty much like you'd expect their standard world creation tools would look but with more customized stuff for DM'ing.
I LOVED divinity for ps4 I cannot wait for this, for anyone who is in beta:
1) what do the diff races Do?
B) how viable are hybrid builds?

Lizards have a cone shaped fire breath ability, a +2 Int and +1 Persuation
Humans have a general party stat buff they can cast, +2 wits, +3% crit and +1 bartering
Dwarves have a Petrifying touch, +2 Str and +1 sneaking
Elves can use flesh sacrifice to gain an extra action point in exchange for a debuff, +2 Finesse and can fucking eat people for a small chance to gain a permanent ability as well as memories from the corpse.
There is also supposed to be an undead race that was in the Kickstarter stretch goals but it is not in the beta so far.

I bought it last year, but not really played it more than 30 minutes. Waiting for full release, but that elf ability pretty much guarantees that I will play as one since I would feel like I am missing possible content without it. Pet pal is the same. For the first game, I always removed an ability in character creation to slot pet pal instead so I had that from the start. Pet pal in the first one becomes useful less than an hour in, no doubt it will be the same in the sequel.
