IIRC the non-linearity was criticized by some gamers in Div... Skill/spell system in BD is more complicated - correct - but allows a wider variety - and the ability of a gamer to choose/decide instead of powering himself up with all sorts of skills.
As you played Div pretty late => a lot of bugs were already erased/fixed. BD is very complex - so not all bugs are naturally fixed in 3-4 patches - specially not the random generated BF.
Did you know how many hotfixes patches Div had until it became what it is now? Guess not - because the EV was 1.029 from the start.
Do you know how many bugs were fixed from the German version 1.00 until now? Guess, not really, hm? Your English version is already 1.2 without the last patch..
So, please, don't compare apples and pears. I understand, you like Div - me, too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> - but I don't think the skill/spell system in BD is crap => just involves a bit more thinking/deciding - and giving it a chance to get accustomed to. I don't think it's lame to unlearn a skill if I don't like it. I'm glad, I can instead. Kiya
Addendum: I'd appreciate it, if you wouldn't call me a fan girl. I simply have a different approach => taking each game as unique instead of comparing. The Larians decided to take another approach instead of using the rinse-and-repeat one many companies prefer. I think, I would've been disappointed if they had simply made another typical Div. I like to try out new stuff.
