Has anyone played this on the 360?

I'm a bit confused on Ego Draconis or Dragon Knight Saga
Are they separate games or is one a game of the year collection?

I have played this. There are three distinct releases: The Dragon Knight
Saga is a bugfix release that combines both the original game and its
expansion from later that year. You'll find the other two for cheaper, but
if you're playing on 360 it's essential to have the Dragon Knight Saga
release in order to play for any length of time without the game crashing
daily.

If you're enjoying Skyrim and/or Oblivion you ought to get some enjoyment
out of Divinity II. Unlike its Diablo-clone predecessor, Divinity II is a
Gamebryo engine third-person RPG with an over-the-shoulder view and some
decent mission scenarios. I've played through most of the side quests in
the first town and found the morally ambiguous choices surprisingly
satisfying.

I did find the lack of a quest marker a bit off putting and got lost
quite a bit. I found people talking about locations I hadn't found yet
and got very confused. I tried to find some dungeon or other that a
guard mentioned to do a quest a certain way but had no idea where it was.
I really should try and put more time into it as I barely got past the
first town.

I vaguely remember mentioning in one of my PWB posts that Divinity II
mostly served to illustrate how well-constructed the Elder Scrolls games
are. For all its faults, you can jump into Skyrim and just play. Divinity
II requires you to keep track of all sorts of things outside of the
context of the game, which made sense twenty years ago when you couldn't
automate mapping or quest logs.

Even so, Divinity II has a competent story. More impressively, there's a
complete lack of generic characters. Every guard and townsperson in the
place seems to have his or her own backstory, sometimes to comedic effect.
One in particular in that first town will go on and on about how his
entire family has served for seven generations as guards for the same
town. It's a handcrafted richness that seems somehow stronger than the
procedurally-generated folk of Skyrim, and it's why I still believe it
might be worth my time.

-KKC, who's done with work now, thank you very much.
