Beyond Divinity

Congratulations Lucretia !!

Congrats Lucretia. Good work. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
If you have some time, yes, I'd love to see it in english.

Just couple of questions Lu, So, you are going to write games reviews for the greek gaming newletter. Will you be paid on review basis or full-time or this is volunteery work? It sounds quite exciting to do a work you do, just curious.

good job! you......go girl! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
couldn't understand a word of it but it sure looks nice! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Thnx so much!

@ Egin

Nope I am not going to be payed. I already have a steady and well payed job. Writing in Gamerspot will be something like hobby for me. Every gamer I think who likes a game would want to write something about it. So in my spare time I will write about games that I love. Games that gave me pleasure and fun. I don´t mind that I will not be payed. I am not rich but I can manage to pay my bills and have a good life, so thats ok with me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I will write with love for games and that is enough for me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Gamerspot team is parted from gamers after all but from what I have seen, they try to do quality work and I like the way they write for games. With respect. Thank you again so much for the kind words. I will make a translation soon. The preview is about things you already know but it is a start in Greek sites for Beyond Divinity.

@ Viper your idea worked and took me one step beyond.... thnx <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Oh and I don´t have the system requirements of <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" />. Could someone please tell me were I could find them? I want to add them in the preview. Thnx in advance.

Way to go, Luc! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

As for the specs, I believe they are:

- Similar to the ones of <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />
- But a little higher

I'm not sure the Larians already know...

Thnx Kejero.

I will wait a bit till I am sure about the system requirements.

Here is a quick translation (very quick in fact. My English are worse than my Greek you know that already <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />)



Beyond Divinity

The adventure goes on…

The new RPG of Belgian Larian Studios, the company that in 2002 created the very successful Divine Divinity, is going to be published in the first quarter of 2004. The newborn child of Larian is baptized “Beyond Divinity” and it is set in the well-known - and well-tested – universe of Divinity. The game consists the second part of this universe that is going to include and a third game (expected to be published in about the beginning of next year).

As Swen Vince mentions, “Beyond Divinity is a continuation of the Divinity Universe. We’ve had thousands of true fans that loved Divine Divinity, who came to our forums and voiced their appreciation, and subsequently have craved for more. Beyond Divinity has been developed with these fans in mind.”

The creation for the game started secretly in 2002 and today is in the final phase. Larian Studios has already announced officially the publication of the game.

With nailing down, strong story line, new, without limitation character development system, outstanding interface environment, renewed real time 3D graphics, hundreds of new unique objects and a fresh new combat system, Beyond Divinity approaches the perfect, pure RPG. Rare innovation, the character choices. You can play as a male, female or … a child!! The secret ace in Larian´s sleeve is the game’s random quest generator, which promise endless gaming.

In the game you find yourself bonded with a Death Knight. You fate is to spend eternity chained with this evil creature except if you change things and break the curse that chained you with him. You and your strange partner you set sailing for a big adventure to discover the locked secrets of the world in which you are trapped. Rifts hide the solution in getting out of darkness. Will you make it?

The game is going to be published in PC CD ROM and later will follow the Macintosh publication. The demo is expected to come up few weeks before the game is published.

According to the factsheet which comes with the fansite kit the system requirements are as follows:

System Requirements: Pentium III-500, Geforce 2 class 3D accelerator, 128 MB of RAM

I'm glad to hear of your new position. It looks like you already have an article posted.

Congratulations, Lucretia ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

And, no, you don't need to apologize for long posts. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />


By the way, you brought me into an idea ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

EDIT : I just see they have listed CDV as publisher ... could you correct this, Luc ?

Hi Lucretia!

@ Bernhard <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kissyou.gif" alt="" />

@ DATD you are a sweatheart.

@ Al if you were writing in Greek language site owners would do fights to get you.

@ Cleglaw thank you, thank you, thank you. I will post right away. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Please, please tell me the publisher. I didn´t give that information but they assumed that it would be the same publisher with <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />. If someone knows please tell me. I don´t want to have faulse information about <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" />. I will mail them at once but could someone please confirm who the publisher is?

There are quite a lot of different publishers announced for <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" />.

In UK it´s Digital jesters, in Austria and Germany it is UBI Soft, USA was also announced but I can´remember at the moment. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />
