Playing BD has gotten me interested in playing DD (for the third time). Does anyone know what version of DD is provided with BD?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

Raze is correct as usual. I patched DD up to 1.34 and played it last night. The game is still fun! In some ways, I like it better than BD...heh... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

What do you mean by version? It's exactly the same as if you'd bought the game released by CDV in the US.

I think someone said it was already patched up to the latest 1.34 version on the CD.

No, as far as I know it hasn't been patched up yet.
But I am not sure...

If not, it's easy enough to download the patch. The version number is displayed in the bottom right corner of the main menu screen (it will be 1.0029a for the original English CD version, and 1.0034a if patched).

I was REALLY happy that DD was packaged with BD. I played DD a long time ago... my friend let me borrow his CDs and then I used a no-cd crack... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/freak.gif" alt="" />
This time, I was able to install it easily and play it with a CD... so when I bought BD I decided to just play DD again. Damn, that was FUN. Just started BD... I have to admit.. I liked DD about 10x better. But I'm definitely going to invest time into BD too... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" />

Actually, believe it or not, but when I thought DD was just a good game, BD is quickly advancing to my top 5 best games ever <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.
The Donkey Ears of The Dolphin made my decision <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />.

Yeah quite positive on that too, just installed it yesterday and it said the right version on the splash screen. Noticed no bugs so far so it must be there <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I just bought BD with the assumption that DD was packaged with it (retail box, Best Buy 39.99) and no dice. I really only wanted DD, but couldnt find it separately. Am I missing something? Did it come on separate disks in you guys box or is it on the BD disks hidden somewhere. OR did you guys buy it in a different package at a different price?

There are several different packages available. IIRC someone mentioned that the version that comes with DD has those CDs in cardboard sleeves, and the box has a sticker saying DD is enclosed.

North American copies! (Greetings from Hip Games)

gross, I just read on another board that It's different packages from different stores like you were saying. Best Buy gives an "exclusive" 60 page novella w/ in its package, while gamestop/EB includes DD. In my haste I got it at the wrong store. How misleading.

Look at it in this way: Divine Divinity you can easily buy on Ebay for a couple of dollars. The novel gives a certain dept to the game and is priceless.
Feeling better? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Actually I feel previliged to get the novel since I already have Divinity: Sword of Lies (aka DD) so a second copy won't do me much good.

Getting that novel with it would've been cool. But i was glad to get DD included w/Beyond Divinity because. I'd gotten rid of my previos copy of DD. It was very stressful.


I'm back for more of that Divinity madness. Yep, uh huh, uh huh.

I got <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> with the novel at Best Buy but I found an old used copy of <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> for $2.99 on ebay. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Even though I bought <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> before <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> I had to finish <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> first cause it was so addictive. ;P
