Divine Divinity

Story: The land of Rivellon is in turmoil. The humans, orcs, elves, and dwarfs are in constant conflict with each and war threatens to break out at any moment. An ancient evil has risen from it's sleep with the help of a half forgotten cult that is dedicated to avenging the defeat of the demon overlord at the hands of the council of light many centuries before. You are a human that was rescued from an ambush that would have left you as dead as you were pretending to be if the healer that had saved you hadn't wandered by. Your enemy doesn't give up easily and it soon becomes apparent that you have a bigger influence on the fate of Rivellon than you ever thought possible or may have ever wanted. Gameplay: What one would expect for the time it came out. It plays like your run of the mill hack and slash, click something till it dies and hopefully get a shiny. Graphics are decent and for the time detailed. There are lots of shiny's to find and equip your character with to make you an unstoppable monster mashing machine. There are also plenty of skills to customize your character with, though this can be a bit of a problem if aren't paying attention. The thing about this title is the writing. It's good if you like the type of story that doesn't take itself very seriously. Some of the conversations you can have had me laughing out loud. If you want a serious story then this is probably not the game for you. Thoughts: I enjoyed this game, I got my money's worth annnd I couldn't finish it. This is one of those games where I recommend looking up what kind of build you should have to beat the game. If you don't it's very easy to get a character that works just great until you get to the end. Then the brick wall appears and no further progress will be made. It just wasn't worth it to me to play through again, I just looked up the ending. If you like quirky humor and can deal with a few rough edges, find a character guide and give this one a shot. m.a.c

As in the Title

The game so far has an fun story. It's cool to go back to the games that eventually lead to Divinity Original sin. Takes a little getting used to the menus but once you do it's a good time.

I received this game for free during a promotion from GOG. I hadn't heard of it but tried it on a lark. Man am I glad I did! The concept is slightly different from typical role playing games with more fighting. There's a bit of a learning curve in the beginning and the earliest fights were so hard and unforgiving that I almost quit before the game really started. DON'T give up! The reward is totally worth it! Once you're familiar with how to fight and use spells and start getting some quality weapons this game is mostly a total open concept system full of dozens and dozens of quests, HUGE maps and interesting enemies. The storyline is much like other role playing games but still interesting. I found the graphics to be excellent. The Easter eggs are awesome and the random stats on weapons make it a little different each time you play. At times it could be a bit glitchy but not enough to lower the score for me. I didn't really like the item storage concept where there are no slots just stuff piled one on another. To offset that there are apparently dozens of item combinations from forming new potions to making recipes to makeshift weapons and armour. The spells were excellent and complex and a very enjoyable and useful part of the game. If you like role playing type games and you're looking for something new you should love this game! As a Baldur's Gate fan this is a role playing game of a very high quality and sort of in that vein.
