You play with an orgy.
Not sure if you can play solo though.

Technically you can, just like with any other game like this. Tyranny has a pretty open character leveling system, so it should be quite possible to build one character who'll be able to overcome different challenges, be it an optimized, cookie-cutter build, or something else altogether. Hell, I know people soloed PoE Path of the Damned, including dragons, so Tyranny should be a breeze 
Anyways, I managed to play through the DLC content before Divinity 2 came out. It's solid, but it doesn't really stand out in any way. It's just more of Tyranny, which is a good thing in my book. A really cool dungeon, some quests, a few nice companion quests. Not a bad thing at all, but definitely overpriced. It does make the game better, however.

Sure, why not? It has different strengths and weaknesses then DOS2.

How is it different/same from DOS?
Some people say this is just a bad Pillars of Eternity, and POE is just a Diablo clone if you ask me and I don't like it at all.

The combat is realtime, not turn based?

It's much more similar to POE, being realtime and having similar stats.
Difference compared to POE/DOS2:
All spells are craft-able. There is no such thing as "stock" spells.
Some combat mechanics are streamlined (in good way), compared to POE.
Lots (and I means a lots) of choices and consequences.
Better loot then POE. Less throwaway loot then DOS2 (where you pretty much need to get new stuff every level to stay competent).
4 totally different campaign paths based on some choices.
Game is generally shorter, but very replayable, due to those paths.
In depth companions (more then POE, not sure about DOS2, not played enough).
Game is challenging early, but gets easy later, after you master your builds and custom spells.
Maps are "smallish", but there are many.

Looking at the recent RPG games taking inspiration from older games, I personally found Tyranny to be one of the better ones. I liked it better than Pillars of Eternity, Wasteland 2, Tides of Numenera and the first Original Sin. But only while knowing before-hand that the game rushes its ending, the last act of the game ties up everything quite quickly.
The gameplay wasn't a huge strength of the game, but it felt better than PoE. Mainly what I enjoyed was the story, the characters (sadly we can't explore them as much as I would have liked), the story and how much it follows what we do.
I'm not far enough in DOS2 to compare it to Tyranny, but so far I think DOS2 might be better. It feels more complete.

Yeah, the combat in Tyranny definitely isn't the most satisfying aspect that the game has to offer, it sits in a limbo that ranges from mildly interesting to mildly tiresome depending on personal tastes. 
I actually found myself not disliking the combat system, competently serviceable would be a good term to describe it considering the in-game world's structure. As Kanint mentioned, the true highlight here is absolutely the story, writing in general and the meaningful impact that the player can have with his decision making (it's a title especially designed to encourage the dark side approach, and it does feel quite rewarding).
It's an imperfect gem, not for everyone, but when everything clicks it can be great. It's a shame that the so-so amount of depth and all the constraints don't allow it to be modern classic, its narrative and overall design would deserve it.

Is this really that much better than the Dragonspear controversy? That game had an awkward tranny situation, this one flaunts females as the stronger sex. Why can't they just shut the fuck up and keep the topic of genders out of their games? I wouldnt be half surprised now if Kyros was female as well. Who isn't in this game?

How they can keep gender out of a game when characters have assigned genders? What you actually mean is: why they can't leave genders as they were before and I like it.

Well, sure. When they leave out political nonsense from the years 2017 +/- then i'd feel much more comfortable playing.

Wrong agenda if they want me to play their games. Won't be a big loss anyway. People blew up for the tranny in baldurs gate, and this annoys me. I'm no better or worse. I know it sucks to be affected, but i won't play something that annoys me.

Then suit yourself, games shouldn't be made to please everyone. The kind of games that are made to please everyone are usually pretty bad anyway. I don't care about a character's genre, it's how a character acts and talks that matters to me. I liked Zevran and Dorian from Dragon Age or Liara from Mass Effect, but those are well written characters with justified reasons and compelling personalities.

Dorian is actually my favourite character from da:i. Don't recall Zevran much though.

Same here, I tried to really like the game due to it's nature that you can't really play a "goodguy" and either way you fuck someone over. But the combat was just so bleh that it put me off completely. |

My fucking god, I cannot play an RPG with this shitty combat. It is just so streamlined, everything feels so weak, I can[t really explain it but I miss the combat of games like Baldur's Gate 2, Dragon Age etc. When you activated abilities, some were devastating. In this fucking game and in PoE they do some tiny animation and *poof* something miniscule happens.
Well, sometimes nothing happens and I have to give he order again and wait for the recovery meter to end and then with a little luck *poof*, something may happen.
Wait, why am I even trying to describe this weak shit? Just fuck this, uninstalled just like PoE. I can't suffer through its admittedly interesting story.
