Hello,
-I'm an avid gamer, and I frequently purchase an rpg every month or so. I've done this for about 5-6 years, and only after purchasing Beyond Divinity have I run into this problem. Let me explain.
I purchased Beyond Divinity (with free Divine Divinity with it) from a reputable software store, then promptly took the box home and opened it. First, Divine Divinity wouldn't even install. Whenever it would ask for the second disc, it refused to read the drive. I screwed with my disc properties, restarted several times, all to no avail. However, I purchased the game for Beyond Divinity, not Divine Divinity.
No Big Deal.
So, I'm installing Beyond Divinity, and everything is working fine. The game is installed, and so I try to play it.
Disc Identification error.
So...no big deal, most software manufacturers use cd keys on their products. So, I begin to look for the CD Key for the software that I lawfully purchased.
One hour later, I'm still looking.
Most reputable companies put the CD Key in an easy to see location, like the cd case (Blizzard) or the Manual (Bioware). However....no cd key in the manual...no cd key on/in the case...nor on the box...nor on the cd itself...nor on the cd envelopes of Divine Divinity...no piece of paper included with a key on it (which would be highly unprofessional anyway)...nothing.
I basically bought a locked computer game without an easy to find key.
Is this the way Larian products are sold? Never before have I encountered such a frustrating purchase, and I hope that either I am blind, or there is an unknown error that I am unaware of.
Please, someone let me know where THEIR CD key was located, if there even is a CD key. Also, please let me know if this is a technical difficulty that I can solve without returning my purchase and forever refusing to purchase Larian Studios products.
Thank you for your time.
