My demo doesn't work I've downloaded it 4 times and it crashes after the start game movies and I want to play it cause I don't know if I lik the point based level up system and I looked at the full guide but it's a bit short I think. How long does it take to finish the game?[/QUOTE]What kind of video card do you have? One big reason I'm stoked about DD is that it's one of the few RPGs that my computer with only an 8MB video card can play--fuhget Morrowind, NWN, etc.
There are 3 classes: Warrior, Thief, Mage. Each has 4 paths--for example, the Mage has Elemental, Summoning, I forget the other two. Each path has 8 skills. You are NOT restricted to other skill sets because of your starting class. For example, if you play a warrior (the only class you can play in the demo), it's a damn good idea to pick up repair and lockpick from the Thief set and Meteorstrike from the Mage set (good bang for the mana with that spell). You get 1 (occasionally 2) skill points and 5 attribute points each level.
The Demo took about 10 hours to play. My only complaint about DD is that it's easy to get quests out of order, screwing up the dialog.
And a message to certain magazine reviewers: If I want bloody multiplayer, I'll play face-to-face! I don't want or need it in a computer game!
