The reason I bought BD was simply because DD was abosolutely stunning.
I've played for the last several hours straight (12pm to 9:40pm) and I'm getting close to the end of Act 1.
I like the way the game is difficult though I was hoping "very easy" would be a bit more easier.
The game is a dungeon crawler or at least up to where I am now (Pentagram with stone in middle + 6 switches). Why?
What's up with StarForce? This gave me a headache. I spent an hour trying to get the game to work. I was obviously successful. Though it sure as hell caused me a headache. StarForce is overzealous "copy protection". Again I reiterate, why?
I was reading some walkthroughs and and the pics of the world map in later acts, where the the lushes trees, forests and water?
The only place they exist are in the battlefields which are nothing but hack and slash. Not too bad but I prefer having a nice outdoor environment during the game as well.
The game's combat is very well thought out, as are the skills and the skill system.
I do pray that the hack and slash is decreased as I play the game. One of the most annoying points of the game is the starting dungeons.
I apologise if I sound too critical of the game, it's just that I expected the game to be a bit more role playing like DD. I don't believe we need more Diablo clones.
Other than the points I brought up the game has been very fun.
