want to be a dragon mostly

[goldgriffin360]

The most interesting thing about this game to me ( what really makes me want to play it), is being a dragon and exploring like that, so my question is how much of the game includes this feature and when am i allowed to use this, how well being a dragon is implemented: how does it control, what are the limitations to useing the dragon form, is there a cheat or console command that will start me off with the ability and if so is that pointless and breaks the game.
I remember playing a game called Dakkan 2: the ancients gate long time ago on playstation 2 and want to find another game that gives me that kind of gameplay

With the dev version you can just push f11 and make yourself a dragon at anytime and do all the exploring you want.

For the Ego Draconis section of the game (roughly 50-75 hours depending on difficulty level and playstyle), you get full access to the dragon form about half way through, at a character level in the high teens or early twenties. There is a short section earlier, about level 7-9, where you can fly around and get a feel for the dragon form. The Flames of Vengeance section of the game (the ending, 15-30 hours) is predominantly in human form, with a dragon section near the end.

You can transform into a dragon when you are outside, or in a couple large caves, with a bit of room around your character, unless there is an anti-dragon field (there are a couple permanent fields around settlements, and several that you will be able to disable.

Flying around as a dragon is great. Combat is a little simplistic, though; not bad, just not great. Most ground targets disappear when you take dragon form, and can not be attacked (due to performance issues). Actually, a programmer playing around with dragon combat after the release of DKS came up with something that eventually evolved into the upcoming game Dragon Commander[www.divinitydragoncommander.com].

There are 2 executables for the game, regular DKS and a version with the Developer Mode cheat window enabled. While you could cheat and use a flying form early in the game, at best you could use it for travelling faster or avoiding certain areas (which wouldn't be a good idea your first playthrough, since you could potentially break quests, etc, by visiting places out of order).

thank you for such a great response, let me know what I needed to know, I will play the game as intended at first or at least save the game before playing around with the developer mode, I have seen the a youtube video of dragon Commander and that does look cool for an action stategy game ( the rockets of the dragon are a little weird, but makes sense for that type of game to move at super speed ) just wish someday that there will a game that is based on Dragon exploration like the drakken games were, but this will have to do for now.

The jetpack was what Larian came up with to explain the dragon knight being able to fly much faster than in Divinity 2 (in order to get around the much larger battle areas in Dragon Commander), and it fits with the steampunk / dieselpunk style of the game.

Is there a mod that allows you to utilize the dragon more frequently? like a ground transformation?

[Raze_Larian]

No, not really.

You can use the Developer Mode cheat window to give yourself the dragon stone and dragon morph stone early, but I don't know if that would cause any problem with the quest when you are suppose to get them. You could definitely cause problems with quests by flying past various triggers and doing things out of the normal order.

There is no ground transformation. The developer Mode will let you morph into various NPC and monster models, but you can not engage in combat when morphed (the other models don't have all the slayer animations, and the player character doesn't have the NPC skills).

I keep wondering why new plaqyers want to get into the DEV MODE before before even playing the game. It must have something to do with age because I am older. One person made a comment on the forum he wanted to experience this game as a chicken :-(. The other reason I think is what I refer to as the MOD complex. Its like saying "hey I can create something to change something to make it more to my liking. I saw a MOD for a game that let you have pink armor.
MOD's are one reason I stopped playing some games because what kind ofcompany would rtelease a game thart required a unofical MOD to even play it, or worse release a DLC that had a fatiil error in the climax battle that olly let you use a cheat to go on and not get the rewards for finishing the battle on your own
Maby I am just different because I want to see how the game plays and use different character builds to see there effect. For example because the way the leveling is done in this game I will chalenge my self to finish it with the lowest character level I can.

BBBBBBBBBUT to each his own and to me playing the game is much better than just beating it, If you don't know the difference then I can't explain it to you. -Just do what you feel like doing and have fun and don't worry about how the game plays or the way it develops characters
......WELL you get my drift.

I would enjoy playing it normally too, its on my list, I kinda wait around for things to go on sale, as I don't need anything new to play for a while.

But there are additional interests that would elevate the appeal, specifically the ability to create or find mods for features you can't find in many games. Personally, I'm ultra tired of fantasy games which are unable to expand beyond human characters and super similar races that may as well be human.
