Diablo and Ultima 7 combined

Feels like it came from an alternate timeline where ARPGs decided to actually be RPGs. As others have said, the first part of the game is a long and somewhat boring dungeon crawl. But then you get to leave the starting town and enter a huge, continuous world. It also seems like there are three uninteresting classes to choose from, but this actually only affects your starting build. After that, you can pick whatever abilities and stats you want. The only thing you can't change is your class's special move, so look those up in the manual first. I picked the wizard, and his special move is nearly useless compared to the other two classes. The Ultima influence is clear. The game lets you move things around, has a similar inventory system, and pretty much allows you to mess with everything. It's all in real time, but you can always pause and flip through your inventory or select abilities. Things will initially feel like a dull Diablo clone, but as you find more items and gain new abilities, the game opens up in directions that a Blizzard title never would. There is no clear town vs. dungeon distinction for most of the game. Things are much muddier. You will run into orcs marauding through an otherwise calm village. You can lead enemies in to massacre the local garrison. You can steal, lie, break into houses, commit murder, and turn into a frog for some reason. I knew the game wasn't messing around when a villain showed up and hypnotized an entire town into attacking me. I can't go back there anymore. On the negative side, there are some summoning spells, but your summons don't follow you. Which means I often either waste mana creating more, or waste time leading enemies back to my clueless skeletons. Also, the voice acting is pretty bad, in my opinion. Easy enough to just turn it off, though. Soundtrack is really good, and the writing is decent. The writers at Larian weren't afraid to have a sense of humor. I'm less than halfway through, so it remains to be seen if the actual plot is any good. Overall, though, one of my favorite RPGs in a while.

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.

Nice Game

It took me some time to start enjoy this game, since i have the habit to always start games i never played before on the hardest difficult possible, Divinity took me a while to enjoy. But once i got the hang of the mechanics and started to like the game, i could not drop until i finished all quests.

Very good

It looks a little cheap in screenshots but doesn’t feel that way at all when playing. Very fun and well designed.

Fun, but frustrating

The games a lot of fun! It's got the Diablo combat, it has the fantasy setting, it has the relaxing atmosphere, there's a lot to like! I think the actual combat part is kind of bland tho, and the gameplay randomly jumps in difficulty on some fights, namely a certain someone in a burial site, which was the part that broke me, pitting me against an enemy about 20 levels above mine after I breezed through the whole area leading up to that fight. It's fun, if you like Diablo, you'll enjoy it, but if you're wanting a bit more RP in your RPG, I'd look at something like Baldur's Gate instead.
