Yep, I had a friend gift this one to me for free, spent 20 hours in it and I absolutely hate it. That anyone would consider for GOTY makes me laugh. It looks like a high school programming class put it together as their senior project.
That there were so many fan boys promoting this one is no doubt a product of its kickstart origins where a bunch of Stockholm syndrome zombies who have put their money down and become vested regardless of end result in promoting the game is partly why this ended up with buzz in my opinion. Even at the time I considered the jackals that swarmed over to invade the Divinity: Original Sin forum claiming W2 was better a bunch of trolls who should be banned.
Now after getting first hand experience with this amateurish joke of a game, I'm more convinced than ever that while Divinity turned out to be a near perfect example of what a kickstart should be, W2 was the exact opposite.
And, the devs who made W2 could not convince me they are doing a remake of Planescape that will do it justice, not in a million years. As a result I will not be buying it and would not play it even if the following conditions were met simply because of who is making it: 1. every review site in the world said it was the miracle jesus come again (because just about every single useless game review site said that of W2), 2. They gave it to me for free and sent me 50 bucks for my time to play it.
In conclusion: My only wish for Inxile is that they live up to their company name and actually go into exile.
