I saw it on Steam for $40.  I'm a sucker for fantasy RPGs, so has anyone played this yet or know what it's like?

There's a Dave quicklook

the page says there are no videos for it.

There's no quicklook for this game.  There is, however, a Dave quicklook for the predecessor to this game, Divinity 2: Ego Draconis, which I would guess is what trophyhunter was thinking of.
 
I'd like to see a quicklook for this game, but I don't think it'll happen.  This game is too low-profile during this busy time of year to get that much attention. I'm also considering buying it, but want to know more about it and see more of it first.

Isn't this Divinity 2: Ego Draconis? Is this a dlc or expansion of sorts? 
 
Edit: 
 
 The answer ensues 
 

Huh.  Didn't know this was a thing.  I wanted to play Ego Draconis, but I kept hearing something along the lines of "avoid it like the Plague". 
 
If this comes out...and is cheap enough...I might have to grab it...right after all the triple-A titles I still need to buy.

this looks interesting, it wasn't on my radar before but it is now.

The base game always seemed to be something that crazy people would like. I wouldn't go as far as to say "Gothic Fans", but for some reason the venn diagram in my head matches them both up pretty closely.

Just finished the 360 version. I thought the game was pretty good to be honest. I thought the expansion was a bit of let down though, but it's got loads and loads of loot and a decent English VO. The framerate is much better than it was in Ego Draconis (on the 360 at least) and its technically better overall (save a few exceptions). However, I would'nt say it was 'brilliant' by any means. 
 
At $40 i'd say its just about worth the price.

 NO
 
Divinity 2: Ego Draconis was a pile of trash, I played it from start to finish. Becoming a dragon sounds really awesome, but it's implementation was atrocious and underwhelming. Being a dragon in this game sucks big hairy ass, period. It is boring and repetitive, not to mention that you can't actually do anything as a dragon to normal foes on the ground.
Ability and gear progression is unbalanced to all fuck, at the start the games feels too hard, but once you get certain abilities it becomes a boring cakewalk.
I killed the endgame boss with his cohorts without even realizing that it was the final fight.
 
This is just an expansion so I don't expect them to completely redesign the game, which is what would be needed to make it any good.

This game is fantastic so long as you get the Dragon Knight Saga version and not the original release.

get it. played ego draconis not long ago and i'll tell you one thing: the quicklook is bullshit. i don't know why the hell dave didn't play the pc version, which was way better then the 360 one 
 
i kinda liked it. it's more of an action game than most rpg-s, but interestingly, it kinda made it better 
 
also be sure to get the dragon knight saga, because ego draconis is more like half a game. super short and ending exactly when you think stuff would pick up. the first ever game where I was actually dead convinced it will go on after the credits role :s

I was pondering that too after playing the recent DKS demo. Performance wise, it seems alot smoother than the Ego Dragconis game. But for 40 bones, it's not a bad deal.

Its 20$ on steam this weekend, yay or nay?

I'm wondering the same thing. I hear this version is pretty decent.

The Dragon Knight Saga is a remake/rerelease of the original game (around 40 hours long) and the expansion pack. If you're into the idea of a more open and complex Fable, then I'd recommend picking it up while it's on sale. It has a fair bit of European jank, as well as a fair bit of open world jank. But if you can stomach that, I'd say: buy away. 
 
I had a great time with it.

theres a demo, tried it earlier and it felt quite underwhelming

It's a pretty decent game.  Nothing groundbreaking, but if you're into western RPG's it's very enjoyable. 
A lot of references to British comedies too.

I enjoyed it. I say 'yay'.

bought it yesterday and played a few hours, it's decent.  It doesn't look as bad as it does in the quicklook since that was an older iteration of the game.   This version has a newer engine and animations aren't stiff looking so it runs and looks better.   As far as the game itself, it's a fairly standard western RPG with a more action oriented combat system.

I just tried playing the demo since it was on sale on steam....I launched it and the resolution was flipped upside down. I have no idea how to fix it, so it looks like I'm not playing this!
