Maybe Too Much of a Good Thing
Divine Divinity falls across a few different scores, depending on the kind of player interested. Weighted scores seem appropriate as the Divinity series has seen releases that visit several different types of RPG gaming, so I was hoping to write a review that will help players with less prior attachment to the genre decide their interest in jumping in. For fans of the genre in 2002: 5/5 Purchasing a copy of Divine Divinity in 2002 at full price and jumping into its sprawling maps was very exciting. The music is excellent and atmospheric, and nice design work helps add a real visual draw to its earthy palette. Impressively, each of the 6 players characters (Survivor [~rogue], Warrior and Mage; each has a male and female option) is voiced, although not all dialogue is voiced (be realistic!). The humor in its voice acting is a real highlight of the game, and the game is a real hook-up for anyone looking to be called a Shabbily Dressed Dogsbody by bratty royals. For fans of the genre in 2019: 4/5 The aRPG gameplay is unspectacular. A major feature is that all 96 (32 across 3 different trees for each class) skills are available to all characters, but many of those skills are uninteresting. Of the Warrior's 32 skills, 8 are simply means of increasing your attack speed with different kinds of weapons. Most of the Survivor's skills are RPG utility skills, but their usefulness is fairly limited. The Mage has the most interesting skills, but they're still not much fun to use. The gameplay may be your fix as a die-hard aRPG fan, but it's lacking in its own appeal. For casual players in 2019: 3/5 All of the above, except the payoff isn't so hot. If you're looking to jump in for a look at the series's beginnings and to appreciate the here-and-there charm of Divine Divinity, you'll be met with a very tall order of time dedication for the tidbits of charm awaiting beyond. Play at your leisure, but between you and the morsels of payoff is a whole lot of bored combat.
