In this game you get to choose which character you want to be (fighter, magician, etc) and then start out on a main quest, which will be interwoven with various side-quests. The graphics in this game are well-designed and modern. It reminded me of Lord of the Rings in a lot of ways -- there are orcs, dragons, wizards and the like. The visual detail in this game is pretty amazing.

This is one huge game. It has a big main map through which you explore, but the big map is actually divided into realms, and then there are also additional multi-level side-quests(catacombs, caves, etc). So, be prepared to spend some time on this game.

There is A LOT of enemy-hacking, as you plow your way through the forests and catacombs, so be prepared. The enemies make funny sounds each time they're hit or are killed, and it really gets to you after you've hacked, like, a thousand of them. Sometimes you get encircled by a bunch of skeletons and you have to swing your weapon 360 degrees, and keep swinging until they are all hacked. Sometimes the game involves a lot of running as you try to get from one place to another by foot, and that can get boring.

The game gets difficult in some moments in terms of the difficulty of enemies you fight. Sometimes you'll get enemies that will level you straight off the bat, and you have to come back to them only after you've improved your strength a bit.

One thing with this game is that it's so huge and detailed, you really have to keep playing to remember where you are or what you're doing. If you don't play for a while, its especially hard to remember your inventory and your place in the game. You have many inventory choices to make as you go along, like which weapons and armor you need, so in your head there's always a cost-benefit analysis working.

In this game the character really builds up on his or her strenths and inventory along the way. You literally start out ridiculously half-naked with no armor or weapons whatsoever, but gradually and painfully you work your way up to sophisticated armor and weapons. There's a downside to that -- if you make a mistake somewhere along the way, and it reveals itself later, it can be very frustrating to have to go back to an earlier point in the game, considering how many monsters you've hacked since then, how much inventory and weapons you've collected and how much stronger you've become.

Overall I was very happy with this game. It's so huge and detailed you won't get bored or finish the game soon. I think it's a good game for detail-oriented thorough type people (like myself :) who like to painstakingly improve their character a little at a time through hard work, collect money and weapons and solve quests. And then, looking back, you can say -- I started with nothing, but now I have this really awesome weapon, cool armor and I can deal with anyone or anything. All that hard work pays off!

Still in a class by itself.

If you took the over-all action and skill advancement of Diablo...
added Ultima's stilted view, inventory management, and ability to combine ingredients...
and further added Morrowind's expansive, interactive world with the ability to move, or pick up just about anything in sight...
you would have Divine Divinity.

After playing DivDiv, other RPGs seem very static, and confining in terms of player character freedom, and interactions with the game world. Even today, I've yet to see anything come close.

This is a timeless classic, and should be at the top of any RPG fan's list.

A Fun and Entertaining*Hack-n-Slasher*.

Although there really isn't anything new here that we've all seen and done before, I'll tell you what is here...fun. This game became almost instantly addicting.. and as for me-( and I am sure for others who have played these types about a million times over)that's a hard element to find in today's latest and (greatest??) hack-n slashers. Yes this game is quite a few years old,(Is there REALLY an *EXPIRATION DATE* on FUN?? This title does not fail to entertain and it does have a few unique additions to it that makes it stand out amongst the vast sea of this genre. In my opinion, alot better than 'Dungeon Siege 1'( which till this day i have not finished due to the fact that it's (STORYLINE+EXTREME BORDEM) induces sleeping and ocassional nodding-off), this one i stayed awake for for the sheer fact that there is a story in here-not deep, but yet, it's in there. 5STARS OVER-ALL. Recommended.-holyknight7- F.Y.I-If you purchase this game, make sure you email the(seller) you've picked to purchase from and ask if it's the (North American Version), as there is an import version that will not install correctly on most machines. You'll know if your copy is an import if your disks are (RED AND BLACK). If they are (Orange), it's the (NORTH AMERICAN) version. Thought I'd pass that little tid-bit along. The import has a real problem installing (especially on systems with AMD CPU's)and most (Intel's) with updated drivers. I know, i own both copies of the game and take a (wild guess) which one i purchased first. ENJOY 'ADVENTURER'.-------'TITAN QUEST-IMMORTAL THRONE'....'TITAN QUEST-IMMORTAL THRONE'....'TITAN QUEST-IMMORTAL THRONE'........

Doesn't even install properly!

All I get are CRC errors when I try to install on my laptop, a HP I purchased last year. The drivers are updated and I have DirectX 9 installed, so there shouldn't be any problems. I tried contacting tech support several days ago, but they still haven't gotten back to me. I really want my money back but I know that's not going to happen. Just avoid this game if you have a HP laptop, because it will probably not work.

This game is horrible, I played this for about 3 hours and was extermily bored. If you want to get a good game look at Diablo or Icewind Dale 2, they're alot better.

This is a great game, yet it is so addictive and takes a long time to finish. I still like it though.

Free Form Character Development a Big Plus

A truly fun RPG (role-playing game), very much in the image of the game Nox, but with a greater degree of in-game player choice. At first I was a bit put off by the dated graphics and bizarre name, but from what I read the developers of the game seemed devoted to giving the players the ability to choose a style of play they would find enjoyable. To accomplish this the game features a very free-style skill and stat development system.

Though you must select a base class (mage, thief {survivor}, warrior) you have an amazing degree of control regarding the customization of your character. You can choose to learn skills from any of the three classes. For example your character could become a pure warrior, mastering the warrior skill set and maxing the strength and constitution stats; or a hybrid warrior with high intelligence and the ability to pick locks and summon magical creatures; or a mage who wields a bow and has a truly epic dexterity; and so on.

My one complaint... the story is simply too derivative. The more RPGs you play the more you will say to yourself: been there, done that. You will always be the Divine-Chosen-Holy-Messiah-Savior-{what's his face}, out to save the world from Lord-Emperor-Evil-Chaos-Darkness-Demon-{so and so}. This game is no different in that respect, the story has been told a thousand times before. Maybe that's how they ended up with a name like Divine Divinity... 4/5 stars.

Superb!

I got this game years ago and I kinda skipped it due to newer games. I recently installed it and gave it a try. To my surprise I was totally amazed by this lil unknown game. If you love the diablo series then you'll love this game. Its just as addicting and just as long as Diablo 2. Although the interface is a lil diff, its easy to get used to. The music is prob the best part of this game, the soundtrack in my opinion is a masterpiece. I deff recommend this title for anyone whos into hack and slash games. I just wish I tried this game years ago, I really missed out on such a solid game.

Great RPG with a lousy ending

I loved this RPG. It has an amazing amount of gameplay, with a great storyline, and a reasonably good interface. Because it was so addictive, I probably played it way too much. However, the ending is a complete let down. I won't give away the ending, but nothing is explained, the animation is extremely short, and it's very obvious that Larian studios was just trying to hook people for a sequel. Disappointing to say the least.
