Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) General My deepest thanks to you, Larian

Hiya.

i just returned here as i do with every sites in my favourites from time to time. couldnt remember my old username/login, so i re-registered after reading the news about riftrunner and dd2.

i would like to take this chance to thank larian for what they gave me. i bought dd in a time, when i was generally looking for something that could get me in the same deep atmosphere as diablo2 did a long time ago. when i played the first 30 minutes of dd, i thought "well, its ok", but then, it was just impressive. it more then just fullfilled my deepest hopes, it was blasting me away. i do not only held dd for the best rpg i've every played, i held it for the best game i ever played. i praise you for the masters of rpg games.

i am very happy about the news (riftrunner,dd2) and would like to tell you, that u have made the right decision.

you gave me so much,

Thank You.

GuntiNDDS, thank you very much for the kind words!
This is very heartwarming for our team.
It's always nice to read all these terrific comments here in the forum and to know that you like the games we make. Really appreciated!

Same here
DD is the best game I ever played
I'm replaying it for the third time now
oh, and Lar:
Does the name 'Koen Brouckaert' ring a bell? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Me too

Thank you Larian <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

I will use take profit of the situation to express my feelings to Larian.
When I read about Divine Divinity, I didn't give it much attention (partially because of the goofy name: someone told me the original name was "Divinity: Sword of Lies" but CDV didn't like it so someone changed it). Then when I played the demo, I was hooked! It was what I wanted of an action RPG. I liked Baldur's Gate(both), Fallout(both), Arcanum... But I played those games to death, I wanted a new game. I wanted something which I could play instead of my 3D shooters but which had RPG elementns. Both Morrowind and (later) Neverwinter Nights failed my expectations. Divine Divinity was incredible! It was the interactivity of Ultima, the dialogs of Fallout, the action of Diablo and the quest variety of Fallout. I thank you Larian for this unforgettable game. Though I got it off ebay 2 days ago (couldn't find it in stores) I promise I'll buy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" /> and <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />2 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />.
Though I have some questions/suggestions about RR:
- Will you be able to take direct control of the dark knight?
- Could you kill everyone? (In DD I wanted to kill Duke Janus as soon as I saw him but I could. In Fallout and other games you could attack anyone. Though if the character was important for the story, he was very powerful -or- he phased away when attacked.)Would you make Force Attack function in further games?
- Will there be more choices? (In DD when the imp asked for the stones, the character GAVE them! I mean he gave 2 most valuable artifacts to a creature which turned the guards against him in the tent camp). You could at least ask if you want to give or no and if you answer no, the imp could use "telekinesis" to take them away. I would've liked that).
- Will there be dual wielding?
- Did <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> sold as well as you expected? I really hope it did!

Once again, thank you! I don't expect Lynn or Lar to answer those questions but I am sure many fans know the answers to at least some of the questions asked above. Divinity is definately one of my best RPGs ever!
