I guess they didn't really think out the game to good at the beginning, thats why there is so many porblems with the game. But hey thats ok, they have been making patchs like every month to fix these problems and yes the company is always there for you because I asked them a question and they answered the next day and even gave me more info then what I needed. While other companies don't answer for 2 weeks or even a whole month! Larian is the greatest company and always will be. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Keep up the AWESOME work Larian! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
With respect, Nightmare, I'm glad that Larian answered your questions so quickly. They are very good like that--but that hardly makes them the greatest company on the face of the earth, nor does that ensure that they will continue to be so at any time in the future. Meaning no offense, and of course each to his/her own, but reasonable praise is the most valued praise.
Answering questions is one part of maintaining good customer relations. Getting out patches is another. On these grounds, Larian has done well. Producing a relatively bug-free product is a third, and here, Larian has done very poorly. The original English release actually included the first two patches from the German release, and it was extremely buggy. We've had several more major and minor patches since then. It's still got a number of problems.
And like I wrote before, the balance of the game is severely skewed. You're welcome to like it, but those of us who feel that all the skills in a skills system should work, and that combat skills should provide alternate methods of success, have been disappointed with Larian's lack of response. There's been no answer to mulitple requests and questions, on that front. Their silence has been overwhelming.
As you play <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> more, perhaps your opinion will shift; if not, I truly hope you continue to enjoy it to the end. For me, though, Divine Divinity remains a superior game, and Larian's unwillingness to revise code to deal with major skills problems is disturbing as well as off-putting. I hope you can accept a difference of opinion without believing that the views of others are necessarily wrong, and must be changed. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
