Just recently installed the original Divine Divinity and DD2: ED and am enjoying the games on my relatively modern i5 quad core pc running win7 (home) 64bit os. It seemed to take over 2 hours to install DX9c from the DD2 dvd but everything works ok. Must say I prefer the original DD Diablo style top down view. I don't have Diablo 3 for the simple reason my internet is by satellite and crap for online games. I do have Torchlight 2 and enjoy it, the game actually has an easy difficulty that isnt absurdly hard like the Divinity games. Anyway now I played most of the way thru original DivineDivinity and had several days of fun and am starting DD2. Despite being outdated, both games still look pretty good in 1024x768 display. I can't complain too much and if nothing else with dx9 installed now I can play Morrowind using the mge shader mod. For DD2, I'm not too thrilled with the whole change into dragon thing, would've preferred a simple levitate spell like Morrowind so I could still use my human skills.
Early on the main quest you're told by Rhode to stay in town but if you don't hunt down all the nearby goblins and skeletons outside town you will be only level 2 or 3 and die in a single hit from the ghost in town under the chapel you're supposed to kill. At lv6 with a 2hand sword I did the ghost in a few hits. Now I am headed toward the tower but get mobbed by the ranger and mage skeletons guarding the bridge. Guess I'll go back and kill a few more goblins first. I'm lv6 almost lv7, the monsters are lv8.
