Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) General 40th and Last Completion of Divine Divinity

I am celebrating my 40th and last completion of the Divinity Game.
There was one major contradiction in allowing the player to choose to play as a mage while disabling magic in some locations in the game which did not make sense to me.
Well, playing 40 times allowed me to understand that a pure mage character was never meant to be an option and a battle mage is the only alternative.

Since a warrior is allowed to use magics and spells I noticed that such a choice would be a better choice than the other way around and choosing a mage that can use a weapon.

I enjoyed playing as a survivor in both genders as a higher difficulty but I failed to find any privilege of playing as such.

So I played as a male warrior for 9 separate times and as a female mage for 5 times while I played for two times as a survivor in each gender for a total of 4 times and as a male mage for 2 times also.

The other 20 times I played was exclusively as a female Divine warrior, which is depicted as a winged female on the printed material that came with the game. Although the male warrior fits with the movie played at the beginning of the game and that is what convinced me to play as such for 9 times, the female warrior fits better during the game play and as depicted in the movie with the gods.

I do not think that I shall play this game again as I set the record for you powerfully insane buddies to try to break. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

In spite of the bugs that plagued me for months before the patch came out and the bugs that plagued me after the patch came out, I have to say that I enjoyed many hours of game-play and that the game is worth every cent paid for it.

It is logical to expect Rift Runner to be n equally wonderful game and rather better after all the learnt lessons.

So until the next game comes out I wish you good luck while I work on a Knight Shift. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Kindest regards.

Morbo feels <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" /> when he looks at his 4 completions of the Divinity Game.

I used the Run Forrest run aproach <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />


Did that my third time (I am a mage user but the char of the female warior was soooo much better then the female mage)



only played one time with a male char.

Oh I'm sorry Dad. I didn't know there was a race to see who could beat divinity the most times.

That it was all of all importance to beat others in how many times you have won.

I have beat divinity from start to finish, one, and only one time. I have played many many times from start, but only beaten it once.

so this is Lews (1) Morbo (4) and Dad (40) but we all probably know the same knowledge. no matter.


getting that aside. conmgratualtions <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> .

i had the warrior male. becuz that was what i played the demo of. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ohh.gif" alt="" />

Wow. A little defensive there, aren't we, Lews? I'd imagine that playing through the whole game that many times would yield a lot of knowledge.

My record is three times. Once with each class.

And here I am feeling good to finish it once.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I haven�t finished yet. Should I feel sad? Nope. Don�t think so. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Hmm I think I probably did this (40 times bit) with Daggerfall, at least untill I got sick of inventing new professions, I mean who has ever heard of a Devil's Advocate, who specialises in the killing of demons .... err on second thought, don't answer that <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I suspect however that "DAD" will start playing DD for the 41st time soon, I mean let's face it, if you have played it for 40 times you are Bl**dy addicted, nyet?

(Mea begins to wonder if she could get Daggerfall to work on XP)

btw what's with the "Stranger" under my name, Holy Quagamoli I am no stranger, I have known my self for the last 124 years!!

I can't get Daggerfall to even work right on windows 98!!

I just can't fathom anyone completing ANY game 40 times!! If I complete a game once it's good going for me as I usually get bored really quickly!!

It's actually a testament to how good <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> is that I actually completed it!!
Other games I've finished are Deus Ex <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> and er....em.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

@DAD
you played 40 times due to sex and class, What about alignment? How many of the available alignments did you play?

As a male warrior I focussed on trying the axe the sword and the spear totting as melee in combination with some skills to improve my sight, stamina and health rejuvenation.

I also tried out a combination of some survivor-skills when I realized that I may not finish all quests without becoming a thief even though I am a male warrior.

So the 9 times I played as a male warrior was at the beginnings and I was still learning what it takes to beat the game only then gradually discovered the side quests.

The 5 times I played as a female mage I was also strictly a ranger because otherwise I would have never finished the game. Within this frame I tried many combinations of skills while each time improving the character to fit its inherent personality.

The 20 times I played as a female warrior I was basically perfecting my quest sequencing and battle timing.
Parallel to that I was studying the game guts and the engine responses to my choices.
For example, taking any indoors chest into outdoors makes the chest disappear after the first interaction with it.
I also discovered that the blindness bug is strictly related to exchanging weapons that has a sight bonus on them because that bonus is subtracted from the basic sight value rather than from the bonus sight value and after a while even if your bonus sight value was 20 while your basic sight (without any items) drops below zero, all your items get a penalty and change to sight = 1 and you still go blind. So the remedy was clear to me as to maximize my sight skills and edit all my weapons to have zero-sight bonus and it worked superbly.

So it was not a matter of alignment variations for me as much as it was playing with an eye of a game design critic and bug avoider.

I also enjoyed playing the female warrior in the hard-difficulty mode several times, which gave me many enemies beside difficulty and that allowed me to take my avatar to much higher levels sooner.

I also played as The Scorpion Queen. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Using a minor cheat I released hordes of scorpions (literally hundreds), so I swept clean all Orcs, Imps and whatever creatures at the hardest level with ease. Saving the game allowed me to fix a problem with the Queen Bee in the magical world, because when I used the scorpions she got angry and told me that I did not kill any wasp by my own hands. So I loaded the game again and took them out by a combination of bow-shots and electric thunder strikes to make sure to be selective and kill no bees.

In most of my 40 games I was aligned as a Good Paladin, Good Mage etcetera.
I did try though to kill thieves and Janus�s guards by poisonous clouds and I succeeded in doing so without the penalty.

Looting was inevitable in almost all of the games but I am sure I played at least once without any corpse-looting or forcing chests open as I was satisfied to use weapons I found guarded by skeletons or some other monsters.

The game does not really give you a chance to play as evil so I never tried to become one.

Kind regards.

that's rhetorical. heck i would play it more than 40 times due to sex(what? i misconstrued? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> ) & as for class & DAD being a prof, well the dude has to teach his students how to excel in the game. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I also played as The Scorpion Queen.

lol! though *grumble grumble* movie sucked. *opinion bad grumble*

Everybody has a title in here. It depends on the number of posts you have send and the class you choose when you form your home in here.

Here, read this thread. You will understand better.

hit me

Thanks for answering Lucretia, but at the time of writing, I think my tongue was firmly stuck in my cheek <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

hmm it does work in 98 se, if you really wanna know email me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/freak.gif" alt="" />

To answer your first phrase I would say nyet. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
I have decided to make my 37th game the last but even though I stopped playing the game was on the hard disk.
So when a problem or two came up on the forum I decided to play again to investigate.
So I played three full games after I have decided to quit and that is why I uninstalled the game from my hard disk this time and accidentally I deleted the source code of the items� editor. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

This time it looks like I am over my addiction at last.


To answer your second phrase I would say �Yummy� you are a very young Elf Mea, like you were born yesterday. Only 124 years!
I am 12048 years old so in comparison ... eh! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Welcome to the powerfully insane forum Mea.

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

Well to be more exact it boots up, and it's win 98 se, but I can't strafe, and I can't walk backwards!! So it's head down and doomed to walk forwards!!

There's a hint of movement when I try to walk back or sidestep but it's like the character get's stuck on nothing!!

The game is also bugged to hell anyway!

so does this mean your gonna beat <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> 2 40 times? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

Depends on how many classes and strategies are available! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

hopfully more then the first one <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kitty.gif" alt="" />
