when i come to think of it, how big will they actually be?
you speak of random quests and such, are these small or can they be really big too?

By the way it sounds, some of them will be quite large. I guess it all depends on the side quests and what you have to do while there. It almost seems as if you could spend many hours in the Battlefields alone. Very, very cool <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> IMHO!

i really am quite curious about exactly how this feature will be implemented... i can't say that i can't wait for it thou cuz i doubt i currently have the hardware necessary to run this game (although i probably will by Q1 04' <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> )...

If you can run Divinity, you should probably be able to run Riftrunner. You'll need a 3d accelerator, though. But if you have a 16mb video, you should have it.

well, the sys. reqs. for :rigt: will be higher than <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> because of DX9, 3D and more gfx nifty things.

if you think about it,
the game uses directX9.
but if i have a directX6 (TNT2) 3D card, could i play it also?

Only if you have DirectX 9 installed. DirectX "asks" the video driver which functionalities it supports. All non-supported functionalities will then be emulated in software. And all supported functions will be handled by the hardware.

I am afraid of one thing when i read "Real time generation of dungeons, maps and quests". I cannot imagine generated quests having a strong plotline. The strength of divinity for me is the creative quests that the game is filled with. Off course there is the occasional fed-ex mission. "Deliver this, go get me that etc." But those I do when working on other more involving quests. To me Battlefields sounds like there are gonna be a lot of Fed-ex missions. I hope I am wrong on this.

true, generated quests just can NOT be very intriguing imho, but you can specify quests with triggers and subquests imho, but the nature of them will be most like:
- defeat that guy
- retrieve object
- ...
these can be mingled with subquests

I have a feeling that there will be a mix of random and plot-based battlefields, like in Elite or Freelancer. You can do as many optional quests as you want, but every now and then you will be directed to a battlefield so that you can advance to plot. Now the main plot line has a random element to it!

Well, we'll see in the demo.
