Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) General finished

i completed dd, and the endgame was totally lame, i like defeated the demon in 10 seconds....
okay, i did wear the dragon armour and was level 43, had good magic skills and stuff
but still i hoped for a bit more of a challenge

lol...im sorry <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

I thought the end was a little anti-climactic as well. Playing again I'd probably stop after getting to the wastelands, unless I was in the mood for some hack and slash.

Spoilers ahead:

I used 2 minor restoration potions when defeating the Demon of Lies (those and one for Moriendor were the only potions I used for healing in the wastelands). I don't recall how long it took, but it wasn't much longer than 10 seconds.
When I re-loaded the game to check my stats without any equipment, I figured 'no guts, no glory', cast Heaven's Blessing for the one and only time in the game (maxed it entering the wastelands to use up some skill points), and re-did the fight with the Demon of Lies. It took 106 minor restoration potions and a couple minutes, but I killed him barehanded, with no armour.

Actually, Josephine was a bigger disappointment. She kept trying to summon a death knight, but I never gave her a chance to complete the spell. She summons first, then casts a spell on the knight, then casts Blind... in that order, without skipping any steps. I didn't even lose any hit points. At least she ran away a bit several times, the first 3 Black Ring members stood their ground and repeatedly threw themselves at my sword. I had to re-load and let her complete the summoning to find out what that white sphere starting to form was for.


FYI, the publisher rushed the release of the game, so the wastelands were scaled back. With Beyond Divinity, Larian did the end of the game first, so if they were rushed again that wouldn't happen.

i think i'm gonna give bd a chance to ^^

Do, it's a very very good game <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kitty.gif" alt="" />

Do what I did - don't even bother finishing the main storyline. However, just enjoy the game. Play different types of characters, try to roleplay, play with various restrictions, etc.

I've been playing Divine Divinity for around 300 hours now, because I try playing all sorts of characters. Not to mention this game is always really fun if you don't play it for a few months and come back.

That's the thing about open-ended role playing games. It's not a test of skill to see how quickly and easily you can beat the main storyline. Especially in Divine Divinity, if you use all the tricks available to you, the game is insanely easy- but if you're creative, you can create lots of fun for yourself.

I've always thought that a measure of skill for a true RPG fan is not how well he can beat games, but how much time he can get out of each game.

(Now if only I could find Beyond Divinity in stores somewhere...)

BD is still available at Amazon, eBay and other places online. Local game or computer stores may be able to order it in.

congrats on finishing the game
