Hmm, if you guys think Sacred is better than Beyond Divinity, then I highly doubt that Beyond Divinity is a good game. Sacred sucked big time compared to Diablo and/or Divine Divinity.
Sure, it has a huge world and cool looking characters, but c'mon, you kill and kill and kill and kill and kill and what do you get? You don't get jack [nocando] for those kills.
And it was possible to make a backup copy of Sacred.
Actually only a few people said they like Sacred more than BD. Why don't you check for yourself? After all, I say that Arcanum is the all time best computer game yet I do not know anyone who'd agree with me.
