Divine Divinity

Has its funny moments, the music is great and you can build a character without class restrictions. But its old and has some technical issues.

It is a masterpiece of a game! Go play it. I remember playing this amazing game back in 2004 + 2005 and have so many great memories of it! It is a pleasure that GOG brought it back on their platform, and I am currently replaying this masterpiece. :)

So much fun and surprisingly solid graphics for it's age

One of the best RPGs to ever exist

I am not an avid rpg game player, found Baldurs Gate tedious etc which is heresy to most, so I avoided this title in my library for years. I found myself bored with my usual fare and hunted round for something different. Boy am I glad I did. This is my first play thru, no nostalgic review. Pros: Interactable open world. There is a whole lot to do, fiddle with, read flavor text, move and manipulate. I spent hours just finding books, collecting recipes and other frivolous activities. There are secrets to find, hidden caves to loot, and a great story to explore. I even took a few days to search out items to decorate a couple of houses to make them my own. Easy fast travel. Alchemy is intuitive and enjoyable. Upgradable armor/equipment. Lots of loot to find. Due to the rng nature of the game you can save, open a loot bag and if the equipment stats are not what you want you can reload the save and try again. Cheese factor or no, this can be enjoyable. Lots of skills to try out, with nice effects. skill books to buy from vendors to augment regular leveling points. Clever conversations with npcs who react to your reputation. More than a few very humorous moments. Lots of monsters with different skill sets and resistances. Beautiful art, I mean seriously, some of the assets were lovingly painted. The music was very good, and for once I didnt it mute it. Vendors employ an unique bartering system, it took awhile for me to understand it, at first I raged then I got it. The vendors dont always have cash on them but are willing to trade items for items. Cons: its very easy to be OP for the game, in fact I often didnt use spells as it made the game too easy. endgame becomes repetitious and grindy. Underwhelming end fight. Barter system with vendors can be trying. npcs need to react more to stealing. Fidgety targeting, minions impede gameplay often. VERY EASY TO BREAK QUESTS. recommend a walkthru to aid puzzles and avoid q breaking.
