But as I look around on the net at professional reviews, user reviews, and forums regarding Beyond Divinity, I'm seeing that there are a lot of bugs and other problems even with the latest patch (English, v1.45).
Things seem to have gone quiet on the subject of more patches, so I wouldn't make a decision based on assuming it will happen.
It's very common with games for the developer to be be willing to keep patching but the publisher to refuse to pay for any more - particularly if sales have tapered off and they don't feel they'll get their money back on the deal.
My experience (with the Australian version) was that there were a heck of a lot of bugs, some of which were more than just minor annoyances. The last patch (which was too big for me to download on a dial-up modem) definitely fixed enough to make the game playable though. Fortunately a friend downloaded it on broadband for me.
Whether you like the game may depend to some extent on what your expectations are. If you start it expecting it to be rubbish you should be pleasantly surprised, at least by a few parts of it. However, if you're hoping for a worthy successor to DD, or even an improvement, then you might feel let down.
I thought it was a pretty mediocre effort, although I did hang in long enough to finish it. It just seemed poorly designed and rushed out to keep the cash flow going. But obviously some people still liked it, and - look on the bright side - you may well be one of them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Good luck.
