A Diablo Inspired Classic
Divine Divinity is a Diablo 1 & 2 inspired game. While the game only has 3 proper classes, there are male and female counterparts, each starting with different learnable abilities. Each of the three classes have their own innate class exclusive ability. Warrior: Spin Attack. Mage: Teleport swap w/ NPC. Survivor: Sneak. The game takes the D1 route of class/level progression, in that any class can learn any ability, aside from the single class exclusive abilities. Like with alot of Divinity games, the main quest gets pretty open after a while and can do most of it in just about any order you want, which is great. The combat is more or less D2 ARPG point and clicky movement/combat, with the exception of clicking on an enemy once will have you attack it until it is dead, or you cancel. Why didnt D2 do this too?! The game only has 2 acts. The first act is a massive "D2 Act 1" forest/village/city/dark forest/sewer, etc. type deal, and the point of no return Act 2, is unironically, a huge desert, that leads to the final dungeon. The controls feels a bit finicky and jittery at times, but otherwise fine. The game has a nasty habit of crashing sometimes, mainly when fighting a magic spam happy boss that also have minions involved. Also, there's this one readable document in the cursed abby, that when read, crashes the game on command. Aren't missing graphic files neat? You can move/take most objects you can highlight with your mouse, you can even put an ENTIRE CHEST in your trousers, take it to a town, and make your own stash! Like D2, this game has waypoints, but you have to unlock them with teleporter scrolls, each held by a leader of their respective race, which you get by earning their trust. There is also 2 teleporter pyramids you can set down and use as home made waypoints, very helpful. TONS of sidequests, I'd say DD is about 30% Main Quest, 70% Side Quests. Overall, great game, despite some finicky control, some instability, and a few cheap, annoying bosses.
Is this helpful to you?
