Im thinking about getting this.. I was gonna get it the day it was released.. but it had ALOT of bugs, and was quite unstable.. now with patches out, im thinking about goin for it.. its gotten good reviews on ign.com an gamestop.com

Your impressions?

Lots of quests? can you join guilds an factions?

can you get capes? stupid question i know, but i saw a screen with a knight dude that was wearing a cape and it looked slick.

How many hours is the main story w/o doin quests?

How many, with doing everything?

Thanks for the help

Hi RPGCrazied,

Divine Divinity is a good game and installing the latest patch will take care of most potential bugs. There are lots of quests and it is possible for you to be a member of more than one guild. You can't get any capes. It would take around 17 hours in my opinion if you follow the main story and even then, you'd have to complete some quests. If you do everything, it may take weeks or near a month to complete the game. It depends upon your definition of "everything". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Thanks and welcome to the forum. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Hi RPGCrazied,

There are dragons in this game but you won't be fighting against them. You'll be fighting dragonriders. These are dragons with a man on top of them.

Thanks.

There are lots of quests, 100+ hours if you do everything. Joining one or more guilds do not make a huge difference in the story or other quests, though. You meet a dragon towards the end of the game, but just for a short conversation.
A demo was released before the game was (so is based on older code) if you want to check it out, though the first part of the game is a little heavy on the hack and slash.

Your impressions? VERY good game, highly recommended

Lots of quests? yes tons of them can you join guilds an factions? yes, 2 or 3 guilds to be joined, and one to be smashed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" />

can you get capes? stupid question i know, but i saw a screen with a knight dude that was wearing a cape and it looked slick. no, I wish so, its an idea for Riftrunner, be we don';t know yet

How many hours is the main story w/o doin quests? probably anyware between 30-100 hours

How many, with doing everything? 100-500
Thanks for the help your welcome

yes, several of them. I must have had like 50 warnings from the developers, and 100 or so chats, really, look in the "is this true" topic.

So.. is there an exspansion in the works? Or is Divine Divinity 2 the next project?

This game looks more amazing then Diablo II if you ask me.. just more to do <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />


I wish an expansion would come out.. and maybe multiplayer mode.. buhbye diablo :P

If any developers read this thread, great work.. i hope we can see more games like <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />

I did.. looks amazing..

Does <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" /> support multiplayer? doesnt matter, but it adds so much more to a game, specially co-op play <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Can you switch between the DarkKnight and the main char? I apologize if this isnt the right place to be askin about the game.

btw, im gettin DD tomorrow <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> is a great game. I've had it for a veyr long time now, and still play it, no mulyplayer in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" />, I'm not sure if you control just you or both of you and the deathknight in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" /> . <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

You can put it anywere, except the fact that the server MUST support HOTLINKING. And i guess yahoo doesnt. But ask around, there are people willing to host yours (like me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> )
