Performance fix

Like others, I had frustratingly bad performance in Divine Divinity. Framerates would dip down to 21-22 FPS and the game would stutter. I was changing the options in the Settings app (separate executable, not in-game menus) and was having no luck. I tried forcing DD to use the discreet GPU in my laptop (AMD 6800M), no improvement. Save/load times started around 10 seconds with the game installed on a PCIe Gen 3 NVMe drive, and the more I tried to improve performance, the worse it got. At one point saves/loads were taking around 30 seconds. As a last resort I tried "Software" instead of "Direct3D" rendering. BEAUTIFUL! It's counterintuitive, as most games from the era ran much faster with 3D acceleration, but software rendering keeps the framerate above 70 FPS and loses no graphical quality. Save/load time dropped to 2-3 seconds! On a laptop with a 15", 1080P screen, I initially had trouble finding things like keys and snakes onscreen. Dropping the resolution to 720P helped, and once I got used to the game I was able to go back to 1080P. Using a bow and sight buffs lets your character get the jump on enemies, and the higher resolution lets the player see further out. Not a cheat, since it uses only options and gear provided by the game, but a definite advantage over the old 640x480 or 800x600 view. The basic mechanics are obviously lifted from Diablo, which is not a bad start. As another reviewer noted, Divine Divinity really is an open-world RPG. Once you leave Aleroth you can go anywhere, provided you can survive the trip. Added character progression options also help lift DD above "Diablo clone" status. Teleportation keeps the game from becoming a repetitive slog through the same areas. The art style and isometric view make Divine Divinity easier to get into in the 2020s than the relatively primitive 3D games from the same time. Combat may be "ARPG" hack'n'slash, but this is a full-on RPG that's still worth the time.

Not a bad game - but what music!

The game itself is decent, although a bit quirky and buggy. But the real highlight of the game is the music, especially the main theme. It really sets you in the right mood for immersion.

A special Rpg

It's difficult to define “Divine Divinity”; it's just a really good game. The appearance show us a classical action Rpg. We have a bidimensional world in which our hero, alone, with no party, has to reach the final goal defined by the plot. Combat system is similar a “Diablo”, so we could think to a “Diablo style” action rpg. On the contrary we have here a real solid Rpg. There are very much quests and an intriguing plot to follow. Yes there many enemies to challenge, but not all quests require a violent solution. Another very interesting feature is the chance to manipulate very much objects in the world. In this way we have many alternative solutions to follow, and the sensation to be in a real tangible world. The graphic is pleasant with his colors, the 2D design is at his best. Player will be involved in a very interesting story until the end. The control system is user friendly. This game is a gem, don't miss it.

Хорошая игра, но не издание

Larian постарались и сделали весьма самобытный дьяблоид с сюжетом, за которым интересно наблюдать. Красивейщая 2D-графика, весьма доступная к новичкам механика, забавный юмор. Я не пожалел, проведя за игрой ~70 часов (в оффлайне). Конкретно к игре у меня всего две претензии: возможность запороть будущие квесты во время исследования локаций и финальный акт, когда нужно прорваться сквозь орды врагов по длиннющим корридорам и навалять главгаду. Это дебютный проект студии, поэтому с первым у меня проблем нет, а вот финальное сражение заняло несколько утомительно долгих и скучнейших часов. Не надо так. Что гораздо хуже - это техническая реализации "нового" издания игры. Какое-то чудовище Франкенштейна, где есть новые исправления, а часть старых испарилась. В итоге мы имеем забагованный вылетающий обрубок игры. Русскоязычным пользователям повезло меньше: в погоне за правкой музыкального бага нас лишили вполне себе годной озвучки, которую 1С расширила в сравнении с оригиналом, озвучив куда больше текста. Фейлы с озвучкой, фейлы в оптимизации (используйте софтварный рендер), фейлы с багами (звуки, музыка, графика и так далее). Это ужасающий по качеству релиз, который так пафосно представили публике сколько-то лет назад. Если вас не смущает 1024х768 разрешение, то скачайте дисковое издание или же найдите его на барахолке. Оно стабильнее, чем этот мусор. А жаль, игра-то хорошая для дебютного проекта бельгийской студии.

Redundant Title - Fun RPG

Divine Divinity has a lot of things going right for it. It takes Diablo's simplicity and pairs it with the depth of Neverwinter Nights for a fun, easy to pick up top down RPG. You start by picking a character, although which you pick is largely a formality as you can customize them anyway you want. Spell slinging warrior, axe wielding barbarian/thief, you can do it all. You're thrown into a story that slowly unfolds around you. It's the usual stuff, land in peril from ancient evil you're the only one that can stop it, and there's a ton of baddies in the way for you to cut down with blade, bow or well rendered spell abilities. It's backed up by well rendered enemies, that seemed to me to be reminiscent of Fallout 2, and a very nice ambient score. What keeps me from giving this game a full five stars however, is the bugs -aggravating, game killing bugs. The game crashes, a lot. Sometimes it will crash while saving, which is a huge kick in the teeth if you haven't saved in a while. Characters will sometimes go into what I call a spin cycle, where the turn rapidly in place, unable to talk or interact with anything around them. If this happens during an in-game cutscene, all you can do is quit and start over. This for me, means that certain areas of the game are no go zones because they're certain to end the play experience. The game is especially bad with certain anti-virus programs, which result in corrupted save-games. For all this however, you still have at the core a really fun little title that does a lot of things right. I recommend it, just be prepared for some frustrating stoppages in an otherwise engrossing experience.
