I haven't really heard a single good thought on Beyond Divinity from people who have played the demo outside of this website. I'm very worried for Larian about this. I even made a topic about it: "7 reasons why the DD demo was better...". I don't think the Demo was a good move by Larian. Sure, it means we will have many more surprises, but if you want to sell your games, all the good stuff has to be in the demo, sadly.
Yannos: There were way more conversations in the DivDiv demo. Also, there were more books and manuscripts you could read. But you probably won't remember that, as there was more fighting than anything else. All in all, the demo did take you a sweet 6 hours to finish...
