Divine Divinity

[TheCrimsomBlade]

I played Divine Divinity all the way through in about 130 hours.
Now I Bought Beyond Divinity and got a free version of the first game in the box. Anyway Beyond Divinity Doesn't use the same engine It uses a modified verison of the old engine that alows 3D rendering and the Zoom in and out factor and A numeber of other improvements.
Now I broke out my old Diablo game and played for about 45 min. It's nothing like Beyond Divinity. Beyoud Divinity has alot more RPG Play style game play than Diablo ever thought to have. The graphics Are similar but that's where it ends. Beyond Divinity is a different and better game than both Divine Divinity and Diablo and I recommend it to everyone. Actually I think That Beyond Divinity it more like the other new RPG called Sacred But without the horses. I have both and they are both going to win awards this year as top end RPG Games and worth playing and replaying.

I didn't really like either. To me the character in Divine Divinity moved insanly slowly. At first I thought it was because my computer was under the minimum req. But I got a p4 3GHZ and they still move as slowly.

I had fun with Sacred for maybe an hour or two, but it got old pretty fast.

I want a dialog heavy rpg please.

I think the Orginal Divine Divinity is 10 times better then the boring Beyond Divinity...

Agreed, beyond divinity still has good enough single player, but I hardly find it fun to have a dark knight with me all the time, I like to go solo through the games like that.

I don't find Beyond Divinty to be as good a game as Divine Divinity. Im only through Act 1 but, it just seems like the story is less compelling and they changed some things from DD that I kinda liked...still I am having a better time with it than I am with Sacred.

Am still playing Divine Divinity which I'm liking alot. I do find the open ended quests a little tiresome sometimes because I tend to play for several days then leave it for a few weeks and come back, so I forget what I need to do next on some things! But I like it overall and just ordered Beyond Divinity.

What exactly did you all like/dislike about these games? I got my DD when it came out and didn't have a fast enough machine to run it, so I had to wait a year to load it and play. Now I'm finding I like it but I was dubious because so many people didn't care for it. Glad I listened to a friend who loved it and gave it a shot! You just never know, what some folks like you might not and vice versa!

How many different games do you play cloud?

Divine divinity is in my top 5 of crpgs I ever played.

It has a weak end game though definitely. But theres just a lot of interesting stuff that happens.

I like both the Divinities and Sacred.
First because they are not high speed games. You can take your time and not rush every second. There is alot of area and big dungeons to explore.
I like a variety of different type games that's why I buy one or two every month. My favorites are Neverwinter Nights and Morrowind followed by Call of duty and Halo. I play all but Morrowind on line. I also have more than 200 other PC games, some I haven't even opened yet!

TyranyuZ, In addition to Divine Divinity, I have a solo NWN HoU and IWD2 going, as well as a multiplay Throne of Bhaal and IWD2(with my husband). I played SoU through but have two more games going with different characters.

I've got a multiplay IWD on hold at the moment but hope to finish that one day as well. [img]smile.gif[/img]
