It is easily the best rpg of the last few years, and i've played most of them. I personally liked the might and magic series, as i enjoyed the build of your characters via experience, levels and skills, Divine has the same sort of values. Still the best game I have EVER played is underworld 2, which came out in about 95. Sadly no game has ever been quite like it, but Divine Divinity reminds me a little of it, due to an enviroment which you can interact with, rich storyline, and a unique mix between solving puzzles and fighting monsters/enemies. It also has a wide range of skills and abilities, so you can personalise your character to be just how you want them e.g a warrior who can open locks and cast healing spells.
