You guys are awesome. Rarely do smaller RPG devs provide demos for their Xbox 360 releases. Gamers appreciate this. Thank you.

EDIT:

Just played the demo. Other than a few slight framerate dips here and there, the game runs and looks pretty decent. Not a bad console port at all. Much better than the abysmal Two Worlds. Good job, Larian.

If the demo doesn't already contain the patch, I think it would have been wise to wait until the patch was implemented before releasing a demo.

It took me playing the demo 2 times before I really started to get into the groove of the game, but it has it's hooks in me now. This is really going to be a rewarding, lasting experience that I look forward to sinking many hours into. Thanks for the generous demo, guys. Cannot wait for the game.

Xbox 360:

First of all, thank you very much for a great demo. I've been playing for a while now and I'm enjoying this game very much. It reminds me of Sacred 2 which I enjoyed for several hundred hours.

I have a few questions about the xbox 360 demo:

1 - How does the save system in the game work? I understand it's been disabled in the demo, but how does it work in the full console release?

2 - There aren't very many options (control options, graphical options) - are there going to be any more in the full game?

3 - Is this demo the same version as the gold, or will there be another patch that will be implemented before release (NA version of course)?

Thank you,

- Jorlen

1.It saves at certain points of the game, you can save anywhere at anytime though!
2.No what you've seen in the demo is in the final game.
3.The NA Release is fully patched, I think the demo is based off the NA Release.

Thank god for the save anywhere function. Any game that lacks such a feature really rubs me the wrong way.

Very nice. I actually played the Divine Divinity games on the PC, so it was interesting to see the series go in both a new direction and a new view.

Still, I wasn't paying too much attention to this release, outside that I knew the series by name. Then I tried the demo. By the time, I developed a battle mage, I was officially hooked. This game didn't get a lot of initial fanfare, but this is the definitely my type of game. Before, I didn't even consider picking it up quickly; but now, I can't wait to play the full thing.

For not being a huge studio, I have to say it's impressive with what came up; and I can tell that there's some huge plot twist about to happen that'll turn something great to awesome.

To a degree, I guess I can say it's good to be back. One thing that got me into the Divinity games was the ability to play something, I always wanted to play as, but other CRPG experiences didn't allow it. Or make it as accessible. The battle mage combat mechanics are about as good as they come, here; but I feel I haven't even touched the real game yet.

Anyway, the demo sold me.
