Divine Divinity is one of my favorite games. Ever. I think it is almost perfect, except for the end of the game which may have been limited due to funding. I liked Beyond Divinity but it was not quite as good as DD.

I have been super excited about Divine Divinity 2 for a long time and I have 100% confidence in Larian. When Lynn made the silence post last year I thought that the game might even be out by now. I check here often for news, and I hope that the game is progressing well. I hope we get an update soon.

Stay confident and be patient. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kitty.gif" alt="" />

Well, technically, Larian is still silent, and it is still before the 'storm'. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />


There were links to a couple unofficial announcements in the Release Date topic about a 'well known Belgian team' (that may or may not be Larian) developing an RPG with a projected release of early 2009. Even if these sites are wrong, or refer to a different company, Larian still has job openings listed, so that is not an unreasonable time frame (though they could just need a few odds and ends done, or be hiring for other projects).

Lar promised us news "somewhere next year".(in a post made at 12/22/06 09:33 AM)
So they still have alittle over 3 months to give us some info.

patience runs out at a certain point. I passed that point a while ago, now i'll just see when something is being said, but i'm not looking out for the game anymore ATM

Im Westen nichts Neues.

*drops a pin*

*begins to play with needles and pins*

Hmmm... I hope the end product will be a combo of the good points from both BD and DD. They also better overhaul the inventory system 'cos it gets really messy when monsters drop a lot of equipment!

Also, they also better include instructions and labels with the charms in DD2: the exclusion of all those details in BD was not good.

if we all just hang tight, larian won't disappoint us. DD2 is going to be a great game when it is released and then we won't think about how long it took. we'll be too busy playing it and having fun. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

though SOME new might be nice from a "professional" developper.

I mean: how hard can it be to release some screens or artwork or even waht the game is going to be about .. ??

they'll prolly make some fancy Xmas stuff again, but I don't want that, I'd appreciate some info, screens or artwork a lot more. (making that fancy xmas card also costs time)

just a little over half a month left, maybe it's time to tell us something...

The official Enya Forum also currently has a "drought of information".

And I must say that it does not good to the community there at all.

Come on, Larians, maybe a few screenshots ? Artwork ? Christmas present ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Well since I got A job I am spending less time here since I am working. The Larian people might have the same problem. But I am starting to crave for information now. It doesn't have to be much.

But seriously!!!

What happened to Otho's pigs? Since <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> didn't give an answer to that question. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Well, maybe our christmass present this year IS some news about the new game.

Some info about the story would be nice, I would even apreciate it more than a screenshot.

I'm sure Larian will tell us stuff when it's actually worth telling. They always have done <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Well, I hope they manage to secure enough funding to release a very polished game.

Also, I hope the quests and storyline will be more interesting than in BD. In BD, there's so much hack and slash balanced with so few interesting quests, I feel like my brain's already gone numb.

Exactly <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Oh hi thar <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

It would be sad if nothing is worth telling after being in development for over a year, right? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />
Something to please the fans would be nice...and I'm not talking about another xmas-wallpaper(!!). Maybe a chatsession with the developers...that would be so nice. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Oh no, not a chat-session !

They could reveal too much ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Hmmm... actually, for a group of competent graphic artists, it'd probably take about less than 6 hours at most to draw, line and colour it. If they're good, it could take even more quickly. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Then again, they could do with a bit of break from working on the game all the time.

After like two years of development (as far as I know), that is not a very encouraging post.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Better than nothing, right? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

It means they're not going to waste our time & theirs snowing us or trying to chuck out inconsequential stuff as if it were significant.

I'd say that was pretty good, personally <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Aha... no wonder! After all, these are the guys who thought of the Black Ring! They relish making the gamers suffer in countless torment while waiting for news. "Bad, bad children". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

so you are catching on, huh? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

-shan <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Ofcourse. But when I looked at the released screenshots and remembered that those were more then a year old or so, I thought that the game should be in more or less a general shape as it were by now.
But I know nothing of game development or the PR that goes with it. I trust that we will be told when the right time comes <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />.

Who knows, they might even have a couple of skeletons who love their punishment. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

So everyone, watch out or you might be turned into a pet of the Damned. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I'd rather like it vice versa. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Vice versa as in... turning Larian into pets of the Damned? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Edit: On first thought, good idea. On second thought, maybe not. They might get addicted to the pleasure and forget all about work. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Damn...bit dissapointed with the "best wishes" of this year, I was really hoping for some screenshots, thx nonetheless, happy x-mas and merry new year larians and all DD-fans.

so...where are the screenshots for hollydays? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

somewhere on one of the larian studio computers. i am beginning to think they are holding them hostage. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />


-shan <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Screenshot A: "Noo... you promised to release us if we played good." <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Larian: "Hah... did you really think we'd keep our promises? We're the ones who run the show after all."

Screenshot B: "*sniff* I want to see my mommy. *cries*"

Larian: "Muhwahaha... ahahahahahaha... Larian rules!" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

*the screenshots whisper among themselves, and that night ever so quietly they try to sneak out. what they didn't realize was that larian had locked the screen making escape impossible. poor screenshots, stuck until larin decides to free them.* <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I'm more worried about the specs we need than the time it'll be released...

wow it takes some time to make a game if this game will be released in 2009....i realy like dd and bd...but fans are interested in new things...give us screenshots...news keep us in touch...u just "silence before the storm...bla bla bla" you must keep the fans with larian...not make them...lose their patience.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

The real problem is that you start repeating yourself... we all know already that you are impatient... maybe you still try to be patient and just wait.

"No, I can't."

lol...ok...i dunno if in 2009 i will have time for games...but i`ll wait...go larian...

I can only pray... . . . .. . . . .

can i join you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Certainly.

LOL... poor dear screenshots.

Oh well... guess we'll just have to sit tight and wait it out. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

not much else we can do if they can't escape on their own. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

guess we just try to be patient knowing that larian will release them eventually. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

we need something to lure them out.

Let us brainstorm what do screenshots love the most for food? Meat? Candy?

Eyes ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

but if they eat eyes, then no one would have any eyes to see them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

and we do want to see them. we might even throw a party if we could see them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/party.gif" alt="" />

-shan <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Everyone seems a little impatient here. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
I spend much time on the Dragon Age forums at bioware.com. If you like making jokes to have something to talk about while imptiently waiting for any sort of game info, you're more than welcome there as well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" /> I don't know if I can handle two good but frustrated forums at once. lol <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> I might get a nervous breakdown from all the anticipation.

Go Divine Divinity!

Ah, Dragon Age! Still tops my 'most anticipated' list as it has since I read the first articles on it. And even more as as Bioware don't consider Jade Empire to be deep enough or have enough story to count as anything more than an Action-RPG.

That said, I'm content to wait on that and DD2 because I trust both Larian and Bioware to make great games. They need time to do it, sure, but quality is always worth the wait <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Welcome to the forum, BTW <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
