its definite now, div div 2 will have multiplayer <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

this is from the interview with lar :

Tell us something about Divinity II to whet our appetites!

It'll be big - VERY big. It has a very good 3D engine. It's multiplayer. And it contains a lot of cool features.

i am having mixed emotions....

i guess this will have to be my first multi-player game then....... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />

....... don't know if this will be good or bad

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

hopefully <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

I just hope its not going to be ONLY multplayer. Or a single-player as 'preparation' to multiplayer.

I mean: the impasis should still be on the single-player and not to mutch on the multiplayer.
Posted By: Viper Re: div 2 - 23/06/03 06:35 PM
since Lar says it's gonna be BIG I'm guessing the emphasis will be on SP
Posted By: Jurak Re: div 2 - 23/06/03 06:36 PM
either way..... i'm still gonna "have to have it" !! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Thread topic: DIV II - posted by Viper in a similar thread (had permission to move <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />)

****
didn't know where to psot this really, but since it was in the <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" /> interview I'll post it here:

the best news I've heard so far:

I hope it'll be a kind of COOP. So you and your friends will follow together the story. No hack 'n' slash only gameplay ala Diablo.

Hmmm, well this is possibly sad news. Hope they don't concentrate so much on the multi-player that the sp suffers. Thats what happened to NWN. Oh well, have to hope for the best, cause I am really looking forward to another Divinity game <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Yep..I don't play MP much ..hope DIV 2 will be on 90% effort on SP ..

Posted By: jvb Re: div 2 - 25/06/03 11:23 AM
or 100 % on both of them <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Posted By: Rose Re: div 2 - 25/06/03 02:39 PM
In that case, I hope Div2 will run on my laptop so that my boyfriend and I can both play it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I had a feeling this was coming though. Multiplayer sneaks its way into everything these days, even turn-based strategy games. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing, but it's merely an observation about the trend that video games are taking.
Posted By: joliekiller Re: div 2 - 04/07/03 03:46 PM
Big news about div2: I read in a magazine it should be out end 2004. About 1 year after Riftrunner.

Hope its true!!
Posted By: LewsTherinKinslayer13 Re: div 2 - 04/07/03 03:48 PM
hopefully, that means we have a year to play, beat, become masters, and help other newbies to it on the forum? right. well, better sooner then later. that means we can expect to get 1 like everyone christmas time. -/+ a few months.

Indeed, deamon-hamster, NWN's Single Player was just a module. Pitful module, if you ask me (and if you don't, hah! I already said it!).
Posted By: the_bean Re: div 2 - 04/07/03 06:30 PM
damm i have also NWN but still played it yet. but whats wrong with the single player mode?
Posted By: AlrikFassbauer Re: div 2 - 04/07/03 08:54 PM
Some say that Singlelayer is boring.

Which leads me to the idea to call NWN NOT an RPG game, but rather to erect a *new* gentre : The RPG Editor ...

(I must admit that this is far too offtopic. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Excuse me, Lynn. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> )

NWN is a weak try to make Pen and Paper experiance on PC...
(sorry for the <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" /> *goes to shoot himself*)
Posted By: Clyston Re: div 2 - 05/07/03 10:54 PM
Well after playing Everquest for 3.5 years, I kinda picked up Divinity because it was single player.. *sigh*
Posted By: Stridar Re: div 2 - 06/07/03 03:26 AM
Sorry to hear that DDII will have MP'ing.

As for myself I prefer single player.

Also as some have asked that it be more a single player game to retain the fan base that it has created.

But money is money.

If the game will be more towards MP'ing them my money will not be there. Therefore as a fan of <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> I will be looking for another single player game.

But before that there will be <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" />

Just my 2 cents worth.

I'm real happy about multiplayer. When you finish the SP mode and then jump in on MP it's a brand new game. I hope the <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> series continues to flourish.
Posted By: LewsTherinKinslayer13 Re: div 2 - 06/07/03 07:54 PM
I always play single player first, beat it a feqw times, then go ti mulyplayer so I know the maps and stuff, I first play with bots, tell I'm better, then I p[lay gainast others, I hope to play mulyplayer and sp and the same time; and hope to see members of the forum on.
Posted By: jvb Re: div 2 - 06/07/03 09:04 PM
yeah, it would be cool to play with all of you guys <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
Posted By: Mslynx Re: div 2 - 06/07/03 10:19 PM
No doubt about it! I will love to see all my friends in a massive MP game! I haven't seen much of my local friends since <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> came out. We have all been playing our seperate games. Every now and again we talk on the phone to figure out strategies for play. Yup, we would all LOVE to see Co-Op play in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />2! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Bring it on!

ARRRGH!
Ah, yeah... Multi's cool <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />

lord knows how good raze is. probably kill my character in under 10 seconds without breakin a sweat.
Posted By: Jurak Re: div 2 - 12/07/03 02:25 AM
yeah Raze could use the hex editor
and be in the house before you even get there,
set up shop, and sell enhanced weapons..
with DAD busy in the backroom,
designing stronger, more efficient, more charmable weapons
for all of us to "test out"
all for a price, of course! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

eh...no offence, RaZe!....or DAD <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />
like JVB said it'd be pretty cool <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />
to see all these familiar names in one big game. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

...that'd be awesome <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Posted By: Raze Re: div 2 - 12/07/03 03:10 AM
"lord knows how good raze is. probably kill my character in under 10 seconds without breakin a sweat."

Probably. Even if you brought along Johnson and the rest of the people he referred to as 'we'. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />


PS I suppose I should add something on topic. The first and only multiplayer game I have played was Diablo. I played a paladin, my brother an archer (don't remember the class); he killed me more than any monsters did, but it was fun til the novelty wore off. We played a bit of Diablo 2/LOD, where you could create parties and thankfully he could no longer kill me, but arranging schedules became too difficult, even had I not got bored of the game.
I might try the multiplayer part of Divinity 2, assuming I can find someone else with a similar schedule long enough to complete the game. Hmm.. anybody up for a week long LAN party Christmas 2004? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Posted By: Jurak Re: div 2 - 12/07/03 04:30 AM
sure...count me in.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Posted By: Krull Re: div 2 - 12/07/03 05:31 PM
Not many people have heard of DD over on this side earth. I stumbled across it looking for a good rpg and found it. My buddies who are die-hard rpg fans...even more than I am...never heard of it. The majority of the people in this forum are from europe and the like.
Posted By: Jurak Re: div 2 - 12/07/03 07:31 PM
uh... ya... the last time i looked anyway.......
