Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks New player - resolution recommendations?

Hi... Never played DD, somehow missed it through the years (played all the infinity engine games, etc), so I'm trying it for the first time. I'm in the old school crpg mood, especially with all the awesome kickstarters happening these days.

Ok, the game seems to me to be designed to be run around 1280x720 (I have a 16:9 27" 1980x1020 LCD monitor). So, I could run it a lot smaller but even at 1600x900 on my 27" monitor the action is pretty small. It seems more immersive at 1280x720, any problems running it like this? Or is a higher resolution recommended?

Also going warrior on normal difficulty, any issues there? I will probably only do 1 complete play through (too many games, too little time! )so any other recommendations or advice?

Thanks!

That sounds about right. On my monitor the text was a little small (before the font enlargement patch) at 1280x960, so I stuck to 1152x864.

There are no issues playing a warrior on normal difficulty; that is what I did for my first game. There are lots of good axes in the first dungeon type area, but overall the game is fairly biased towards swords, with more unique swords in the game than other weapon types (though even with unique swords that are always in the game, the stats are random).
