I have not Played Divine Divinity,which was the Game A Friend had suggested was Good.I read on some Website a Review of BD which was a negative Review but also stated that since BD also Contained the Full DD game it was worth Picking up.
Which is what I did--I purchased the Game from Best Buy and I was a bit Miffed to Discover that Divine Divinity Was NOT included-just a Copy of a Novella which was of absolutely no interest to me at all. But since I could Not return the Game I decided to give it a try.
After the First Act I felt like I was playing a Game from the Early 1980's,
When Games for the PC were first emerging and the Developer/s felt that they just had to rely on Levers,Traps,Puzzles,Mazes and the "Postal" type Quests-- (Run all over the Map from point A to B to C to D to E,ad Nauseum, and Return items to Point Z to Complete the "Quest"). It was Incomprehensible to me Why any Developer in the year 2004 would even THINK of Resorting to such
OUTDATED Tactics. But,this Continued to be so all through the Game.
Back in 1982 I MIGHT Have Enjoyed this Game,but in 2004 it is Simply too
OUTDATED to be RELEVENT!
I Have Ordered Divine Divinity and it should be here By Friday. I'm Hoping its
as good as I have heard it is. We will See.
