RPG With Depth. Well Worth the Money.

I have been a big fan of Larian ever since Divine Divinity was released in August of 2002 (I still have my hard disk copy). Don't let the dated graphics fool you. The story is compelling and the side quests are very well thought out. I remember thinking to myself the first time I played it how the quests weren't just filler but could be little stories in and of themselves and how rare this can be in an RPG. Many consider the beginning of the game to be the weakest part - and I can understand that having played it through three times - but there are still great moments and choices that have moral consequences. With this on sale for 59 cents you can't go wrong unless FX Graphics are a must have for you.

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.

A fun adventure

Divine Divinity is a really great experience overall despite some flaws that generally doesn't stop you from enjoying the game. STORY is your typical RPG story to save the world from evil type of thing with your typical races like human, elves, dwarves, orcs, imps etc. It contains interesting characters and some generally well placed cheeky humour. QUESTS are generally well done if you read and observe you surrouding without the need to be a detective. Side-quests are 50/50 I'd say some are interesting and others are pretty flat but it's still worth doing them all if you ask me for the extra rewards. The world is basically big maps that will be accessible for pretty much the entire game so while some quests will get resolved on their own if you progress too far you do have a reasonable timeframe to do them. WORLD is well built and fun to explore while you will meet a lot of the same enemies it's not that bad as fights are fast and you got to fill that big world with something after all. GAMEPLAY is like you would expect from an ARPG, however some controls aren't perfect and moving around can be a little funky also aiming a specific target in a group can be a little frustating. ATTRIBUTES and SKILLS are the 2 things that are not really well done in this game, like CONS and INT only offer HP and MP respectively but they offer so little that you don't want to invest much into them since you can enchant your gear with charm and the best ones offer 100 HP or 100 mana later on which is about 17-25 attribute points. So you are stuck investing most of you points in STR and/or DEX in most builds. While skills the more you progress the less skills you'll enjoy using since past a point enemies have so much resitance that it becomes tedious to be able to cast most spells and do well with them. The gameplay is just average with it's problems that you need to understand but it shouldn't spoil the fun, the meat is the story and the world around it with it's witty writing.

Must Play for Action RPG Fans

Simply a must play for anyone interested in this genre (Diablo, Diablo II, Nox, Titan Quest, et.al.). Larian studios created a winner. Great story, fun to play, the graphics are decent. What else could you want. Get it. Give it a few hours to get going and learn some nuances, you wont regret it. One of my all time favorites. GOG just needs to work on getting Beyond Divinity. I started playing it a while back but stopped, and now I can't find my CD anymore.

A solid RPG genre bender for the ages.

To me, it was always a game that blurred the lines between a lot of RPG subgenres. Sometimes its Diablo (aRPG), sometimes its Ultima (cRPG). Some people hate it for that, but to me, it makes for a very unique experience that i have returned to many times over the years. Far from perfect, but unique and satisfying. Should be played through at least once by any (c,a)RPG fan, if only to be a sleight diversion before playing through PS:T or BG2 for the 800th time.
