Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) General On it's way

Well I first ran into this game back when a demo came out in PC magazine, a few years ago... I played it & I liked it, but I was into Diablo 2 and that satisfiyed me at the time. It then faded from my mind to be stored deep in my brain, then one day I decided to look it up for some freaking reason... after finding, my way here... I have decided to purchase it from GoGamers of course I did this on the weekend and it should be here tommorrow or Wed. I am really looking forward to playing this, and thank you everyone on this forum, without you I might not have bought it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

EDIT:

Well I just read some of the types of units and skills you can choose from is it true, there is a sort of druid? he was my favorite from Diablo 2, lol just wondering...

The available classes are warrior, survivor and mage, though any class can learn any skill so you can build the character however you wish. There is nothing really similar to Diablo's Druid class, though.

differences between classes (minor spoilers)

The Locus Inn - Skill System (individual paths, and a skill table for each class)

I understand that you can pick what skills and such, but i read something about shapeshifting...

thats awesome dude, Im getting it tommorow too..i ordered it sunday so it should be here by tommorow ( wednesday ) , i jsut beat the demo, by killing everyone i could kill in town...and stealing all theres stuff...whooo..maybe we can be rivals <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" />

There is a Necroshift skill that lets you take over the body of dead enemies, but IIRC you also take on their alignments (taking over an elite orc's body would make all orcs friendly). I remember reading it was not useful / practical for attacking, in any case.

There are statuettes that let you change shape, but the ones that can attack are much weaker than you would be normally. They can be used to attack soldiers or drive merchants out of their shops without a reputation drop, but that's about it. The frog statuette lets you move fast, even when encumbered.

Sounds better than nothing... lol

Yeah I ordered it Saturday... which is I guess Tuesday... either you got mixed up on your days or you live on the other side of the world a day ahead of me

still pretty sweet I tried to kill everyone after robbin thier homes... except that crazy loiitle dwraf kept kilin me lol

Good Luck I can't wait for DD2-Multi... screw Diablo boring [nocando] repetitive game
