I guess it all depends on the side quests and what you have to do while there. It almost seems as if you could spend many hours in the Battlefields alone. Very, very cool <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> IMHO! Step away from your senses! Your senses blind you! Gaming In The Divine

All non-supported functionalities will then be emulated in software. And all supported functions will be handled by the hardware. See me @ The Locus Inn & RPGWatch

I cannot imagine generated quests having a strong plotline. The strength of divinity for me is the creative quests that the game is filled with. Off course there is the occasional fed-ex mission. "Deliver this, go get me that etc." But those I do when working on other more involving quests. To me Battlefields sounds like there are gonna be a lot of Fed-ex missions. I hope I am wrong on this.

You can do as many optional quests as you want, but every now and then you will be directed to a battlefield so that you can advance to plot. Now the main plot line has a random element to it!

Well, we'll see in the demo.
