Larian Studios Forums Divinity II The Dragon Knight Saga / Flames of Vengeance (English) Divinity II - The Dragon Knight Saga Question about dragon types in the game

I recently bought the game on the Steam sale and I'm truly impressed. It is by no means a perfect game, but I can't remember the last time I had so much fun with a PC RPG.

Anyway, after playing for a while (just finished the Down the Hatch quest), I've noticed that there are apparently two types of dragons in the game, or at least two types of Dragon Knights.

The main hero, however you name them, has a two wings + two legs setup, same as the original user of their powers.

However, many draconic statues and skeletons show a 2 wings + 4 legs setup.

This really intrigues me for some reason.

The main character transforming into a wyvern was a deliberate design choice, so the dragon form would correspond more to human form (ie arms become wings, rather than wings just forming).

It is possible the basic dragon knight form is a wyvern, but if you become powerful enough (like Orobas), or old enough, you can more closely match a true dragon form. Maybe an extra test / quest / blessing is required from a true dragon.

The dragon Patriarch had arms, legs and wings in Divine Divinity. For D2:ED / DKS I don't know if he took a wyvern form to talk to your character, because he wanted a change of pace when he moved to that cave, or Larian just went with a different design.


Welcome to the forum.

I thought exactly the same thing. Yes, the patriarch had 4 legs and 2 wings in Divine Divinity but only two legs in ED. As Raze put it I think it's probably a game design thing; Dragon Knights are wyvern form but Larian didn't make a seperate model for the Patriarch. It was probably easier to make them both the same.

Ah, I see. Maybe the wyvern form is smaller or something, so he better fit in the cave. >.> Not that the forms matter since no flying enemies engage in physical combat, just use long-range attacks. :B

Thank you for the answers.

@Arokh: Nice to see a fellow Drakkan fan around. I kinda picked the game up partially because I thought it looked similar to the first Drakkan game. Still have to play through the second one, too bad it's only on PS2, controls are annoying. @.@

EDIT: As side note, does anyone know the name of the music track used for Kali's flying fortress? It's so awesome, yet I can't find the track anywhere. I tried the music download links on the composer's site, but I didn't find it in the downloaded batch. D: Is that track available anywhere?
