Well...yes, it is that bad, but as Jurak said, we'll buy it anyway... and no doubt we'll love the game as much as we love Divine Divinity -- title and all!
But what new horror is this... from the press release: "Beyond Divinity is due for release on PC-CD ROM during the first half of 2004." (italics mine) Please tell me it's a typo, and the game will still be out in February or March!!!!
