Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) General Beyond Divinity demo released!

Thats strange against a mage fergus doesn't stand a chance. I played the demo A couple of time and fergus didn't give me any trouble. Maybe I've used one potion.

Killing Fergus

with instant fire, and a DK with a short sword no problems! (oh yeah, 2 MANA potions, 3 HEALTH potions, 1 REstoration)

Well if even lews can kill him <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />... (sorry lews couldn't resist <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> no hard feelings <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />)

2 melee characters and three healt potions are what i used agains't fergus to kill him....2 tries by the way..first try my main character was unarmed when th battle begun..

oh come on!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" /> everyone makes fun of me... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

It was just a joke. Please forgive me Oh mighty lews, Slayer of kin, Ruler of spam. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

hmm, thats more like it, though i need to think if i will forgive you, fishy guy.

You get Fergus "finished" ? Strange, I have tried it 4 times with no success. What did I made wrong ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

I'd like to see a textfile fromm which the tips load so I can enter my own tips and sayings there ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Weren't the quotes in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> in a textfile. I think they were. I remember adding a few.

like:
"Morbo is great" (yes I know it's sad)

Alrik...
I followed Raze's advice (thanks Raze) I put the speed, servival and strenght up. He was still hard - but at least i got though it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

yes they were and i thought about that too! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I finally put the teacher's skills into my "skill inventory " <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> - because I didn't want to waste them - and it worked !

Hey, has anyone tried switching the music around? I REALLY like that "03 of 12pp.ogg" song, so I renamed to to "02 of 12pp.ogg" and now it's the menu-music. It's a bit weird at first, but that song is gorgeous... I don't remember actually hearing it ingame.

Indeed, Tovi, I love it too.
The menu song is far from the best song in the demo.

i've finished the demo for the first time (dang! wish i have more time in the weekend) & i've somehow overlooked the easter eggs & hidden goodness.

however i found the cogwheel which myrthos described in one of 4-part feature in RPGdot. yes, larian is really ingenius in making the game very very very creative in gameplay. i love it.

the random factor is more controlled, it seems. there isn't any item/book/whatever that is so over the top that the game becomes too easy in the early stages.

i mentioned earlier that the UI feels quite unfamiliar & i had to wrestle with the controls a bit to get the hang of it. fortunately it doesn't need to take very long to be fmailiar with the controls. it certainly is unique. great job, larians.

overall the demo gives me the feeling that everything in the game has thoughts & considerations being put in it. books, items, characters, conversations (reading them is more fun than listening), their placements, & heck even enemies. now i see that enemies aren't many (& i hope the enemies will get to be more difficult, not just more in quantity) & but they posed quite a big challenge. especially those level 5 ghosts. i cannot imagine how i'll survive kiya in the game. is there any way to avoid facing her? why can't larians make her a friendly NPC, like seth in DD?

***contains SPOILER***

if u check in the folder called Common in the location where u installed the demo, u can read the runes found in the writing on the wall of a prison (which the door needs to be opened via lever). in fact, u can also read other books that can be available in the demo.

please read the file books.txt at your own risk.

to find out about suffixes that can be found on items, u can check out equipment.txt in localizations folder. in fact there are some spelling errors in some; Surprize (?), Prieceless(?), Wounders ( is that supposed to be Wonders?).

oh well, at least Leopard isn't spelled as leotard. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I guess that the spelling mistakes are due to Yann and his bad english.
Yann don't kill me, i am just joking. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
You have done a very good work, the magic effects are very great.

@ janggut


I think that you mean familiar <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />


I found the cogwheel too but i don't find out the use of it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

did you get the iron bar?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

Yes. But i did not know if i had to use it.
Don't give me the answer for the moment. I am going to try to find out by myself.
