Welcome to the forums!
Funny as DD and morrowind are still considered one of the best RPGs ever made, so many years forward into the future (for me also).
My story is a little diferent. I'm 30 years old now and i was realy tired of this new "high-tech" games with little depth, that are nothing more than a graphical demo wrapped around a poor story. I stumbled across a video of D2 and it looked "something more" and i researched larian and found out they had a game called divine divinity. After a couple hours searching where i could get the game legaly (trust me, was very hard), i got it.
I can say that now in 2009, in an era of 3d graphics with super-cutting edge technology and graphics like crysis, etc, it was the game i spent more hours in. A "tiny" game in 2D made 7years ago. Kinda ironic.
I'm realy realy looking forward to play D2 and can't wait for it to be released in english and with the new "fix-it-all" patch.
