-- divinity 2: ego draconis
Pages (4): « 1 [2] 3 4 »
Hal didn't know you played Divine Divinity.
I can't afford this one for a while, so I re-installed the original for when I get some spare time.
Definitely one of my favourite games of all time 
This game is awesome. It's definitely got its flaws, but I'm pretty sure it does the run-of-the-mill fantasy canon thing better than Dragon Age did.

Yeah, I love the loot system. If we're comparing though, DA had basically the absolute worst loot system ever conceived. Set items in set places means absolutely 0 replay value for me anyways.
yeah 
i did like the more mundane approach, but only to a point. i kept figuring that "just around the corner" there'd be a new beaut piece of equipment that never came. it made rogues rather pointless, because you just knew that the chest in question only had a few cups of shit in it. i think they really missed the ball there.
but divinity, there's uncommon and magical and legendary and unique and epic etc, and so many different effects & bonuses to contrast and compare. that, and the fact i could equip my mage with a sword AND axe if i wanted. i was raistlin AND drizzt all in one and loving every nerd minute of it 
And u can customize the hell out of almost any piece of gear with enchantments and charms. The game gets a lot better closer to around 15 hrs in, and u start to really feel like a bad ass 
I have been plowing through this game and it just seems like it doesn't end. It's a great thing, truly - I am having way more fun with this than I ever did with Dragon Age and am already looking forward to my second playthrough.
But really, fuck that statue puzzle - the one with the 5 status who told nothing but lies. RRRURRUruururRURUFHJRUHRRFGHHHHHH.
I would have totally ignored it had you not spoken up, pkc - thanks for that, having a lot of fun and at least now your mum gets a break from me.
Im sure mum�s enjoying the respite!
I would�ve thought a smart man like yourself wouldn�t have been bothered by that puzzle. If you have a bad memory from too many drugs, a pen and paper is all that�s required!
I'd just forgotten to mindread Keara, so I had no idea the statues were lying to me. Fucking fucks! Spent all this time running around on their advice before I realized there were an awfully suspicious amount of contradictions amongst those assholes. Oh right, and drugs, heeeeeeeee.
Have to admit though - it was so fucking refreshing having to write something down while playing a computer game. I'd almost forgotten how magical that was. 
There�s actually a note near one of the statues that tells you they all lie. I didn�t do too much mind reading, I was too greedy with the XP. Though getting a skill point for reading your tower minions was definitely worth it.

There's actually a ton of NPCs throughout the game that reward skill points and even stat boosts for reading their minds - I typically attempt to mindread everyone and when you're prompted with the exp. debt window, the really high-cost mindreads are usually the ones that have worthwhile rewards... the low cost ones are almost without fail completely useless. Now that I've learned that, I'm eager to play the whole thing over again.
Seems I may have to get this then.
If you liked Dragon Age, Fledz, you'll definitely like this one. Just as pkc has mentioned, the production value is just a bit shorter, but I think they did a lot of things way better - the armour design, for one, is far superior, the breadth of items is absolutely better, the skill and stat system are way better, etc.
The only clunky thing about it is the engine at times - animations are kind of stiff, and this includes your own character sometimes. It's hardly noticable after the first 20 hours though.
I also kind of wish that dialogue was a bit deeper, but I've been spoiled with Bioware games of long past, so it's really a moot gripe.
Oh, and it's not a dating sim at all.
Only have one part where there is sexual innuendos, and it came from a talking treasure chest, lol.
Finally finished it 
Now onto Risen and Kings Bounty: Armored Princess. Looks like a Divinity 3 will have to made after the ending.
there's a lot of hate on the forums, but i loved the ending.
risen's combat will be a rude shock after the awesomeness of divinty.
Yeah, the ending was great, and completely unexpected. What an excellent game.

No kidding. I swore I got the bad ending because I missed something, but it turns out the story is just awesome - I was sort of dreading what I thought would be the inevitable outcome anyways, it seemed like it would be a little too basic for all that I'd gone through.
Can't wait for the next one!
one of the morons that made a youtube vid on this scene reckons this is the dumbest moment in gaming history, but its prob my fave moment in the game fuck i laughed my arse off.
*spoliers*
im glad im not the only one that thought of power rangers.
Oh god, if i do pick up this game ill have to play it with headphones on whle listening to some very loud happy hardcore or something. That voice acting just made my ears bleed.
oh come on, how many non english RPGs sound better than that?
I thought it was hilarious. Especially when I was level 33 at that point and can one shot them all, when the battle started lol. Tis all about the magic missiles
Well ok to be fair, the only one that i really coudnt stand was the female voice. It sounded like the stereotypical wicked witch and...i...hate...that...voice.
Im just being a bit of an old fart, longing for the good old days when they were putting so much text in rpgs that nobody even dared to suggest having spoken dialogue in game. Ah, planescape Torment...the good old days...
fuck that. i refuse to play RPGs without spoken dialogue in 2010.
