| Divine Divinity demo - superb! |
|
Hell, how many excellent RPGs will they release this spring? I got my hands on the Divine Divinity demo and it's VERY impressive. VERY.
For you in Germany - it's on the DVD from PC Games. 400 MB sweet detailed RPG stuff...

I am sure if Rend got that excited after playing it, considering that he has already played Morrowind, then it is definately worth the download. |

I will download it on 3th. I just finished DS and really looking forward to it.
400 MB is not a problem. |

i got the demo (pcgames dvd) and i got to say that i wasnt very impressed...story is good, graphics are ok, but even in "easy" its too hard i think...when you have to go out of the village you are about lvl 1 or 2 but the orcs there are lvl 6 or something...and they nearly always attack in groups. So you die alot since you dont get the money (drops are very poor) to buy enough potions...when i ran out of potions i ignored the orcs and ran through the hordes of archers and whatever to the point i had to run 8to some commander) and suddenly the demo was over...after 2-3 hours...did i do anything wrong? |

Can't really tell if you did something wrong. It is said that there's 7-8 hours of playing in the demo - so you probably missed a lot of quests in the village.
The reason why I am rather impressed with the demo is because the game world is really interactive, and you can see that there is great potential in the game. You are right, graphics aren't the strong part of Divine Divinity, but there should be lots of depth in the game.
We will certainly come up with a demo review, and Garrett will do that one .

Level 1 or 2????
You can go anywhere you want in principle, but you should be at least level 5 or 6 before you wander out. There are several quests there to do and did you go through the catacombs?
If not then you missed a lot.

Hmm...typical case of being used to too much linearity In general, in Divinity you'll find quite a lot of situations where you'll say "oh oh, better come back later here". A good rule of thumb here is "If I'm getting bashed to pieces, I'm probably not supposed to come here just yet" (though in the same breath I have to admit that I did see a level 2 character kill all of the orcs using some cunning trickery). Nevertheless, you should unfreeze the elf, listen to what he has to say, and then unlock the gateway to the catacombs. That ought to open up quite a big area for you (About 5 levels of dungeons). Dealing with the orcs before you are level 6 or so is not easy, and you can get up to level 9 or so before you actually need to venture forth. If I'm not mistaking, you can easily get up to level 3/4 or so without fighting by just doing stuff in the village.

| Lar, good to see you here :-) |

I think the discussion about the demo will catch up after the next weekend when the demo will be downloadable as well.
I think it is really hidden in PC Games - they should at least have given you a page with some explanations for the demo. There are so many hidden things in there which you don't get unless someone tells you - like you are able to move things to find things hidden behind them and stuff like that.
Anyhow - if the real game is delivering what the demo promises, this is an excellent RPG that will keep me busy for quite some time. I really like the humor in the dialogues, btw, and the voice acting is excellent
