having played and fully enjoyed diablo 1, darkstone and dungeon siege i'm looking for another "mindless" action-rpg... by "mindless" i mean not involving tons of dialog or options and suboptions and fighting strategies etc etc... i liked baldurs gate and neverwinter nights, but right now i want a diablo clone... so, does divine divinity qualify?

So far it does, I have just played maybe an hour of it so far. Unreal II got in the way.  Game play is the same as those games and does what I hate, opens an area and darkens another as you leave it or haven't entered it yet but someone told me to stick with it that it was a really great game.

hmmm if the first hour seems like a diablo clone, it probably is... otherwise you'd be flooding with dialogs and customizing options in the first 10 mins!!!

Deleted UserI liked it and Im still playing it. So far the max level you  of your character is infinity. But in my opinion neverwinter nights is more better. You could download various types of user created world on the net.  

I've read from thier developers thatthey said they would've produced a more better product in Divine Divinity but they had time and cost problems . So they had to just finish whatever they had and finish it.  


Well, dont get me wrong here, its a good game. If not why would I buy it! Well, there are some bit of dialogs here and there. But not too heavy. There's also a freedom to this game in some sort(character)

I know i'm a little late in this thread...but I really enjoyed Divine Divinity, played it all the way through.  it does remind me of Diablo II, but also of Ultima seven. As RPGs go, it is pretty mindless, but so fun to explore and level.  There are even some hidden quests and stuff that i only know about from the website, where the forum is very helpful.  It really is not as mindless as Diablo II, however....there are actually many many quests, and stories. Aya, let me know what you think!

i got the game on friday!
but i didn't have much time to play it within the weekend (didn't even install actually)... i'll sure start it within this week though... i just hope (compairing it to diablo 2) that it has a normal save routine! :

Rest assured, you can save when you want!  Yeah, Diablo 2 was fun and mindless  but not being able to save and getting put back in camp over and over was not.  

Incidentally, i beat Diablo, played most of the expansion, but with just Baal left to go...i quit.  The expansion was just too tedious and i had no desire to finish it.

personally i hated this so i never played diablo 2 (i knew i'll hate it when i read about it, but i tried my brother's copy to be 100% sure i will, and i did!)... and i was so looking forward to it, having enjoyed diablo 1 and hellfire to the max

Hey Aya,

How do you like Divine Divinity so far? I've hardly played an RPG in my life, but my friends keep telling me I should try one. Is it a good introduction to the genre? I've visited Larian studios' site and it looks really good!
(of course I'm a bit patriotic here, since it's a Belgian developer. Glad someone has finally put our small country on the gaming map!
)

would you believe that so far i've only installed it and walked around a bit?!
no? well neither do i!
have been doing so many things the past days that i hardly have any time for gaming... it seemed that it contains a bit more dialog that i was expecting... we'll see

as for good introductory rpgs i don't think i'm the one to recommend any, cause i have only played very few... i'm an action rpgs fan, especially diablo i... my first rpg was phantasie iii (on amiga - pc version sucks) and i loved it... anyway i know for a fact that other members of this forum can give you more detailed and experienced views on rpgs... maybe you can start a thread about it

I think I'll try out Diablo first since I saw that game on sale at a local software shop, see how I like action-rpgs. But still, let me know how Divine Divinity turns out to be. I've read some really positive reviews of it, but a fellow gamer's opinion would really convince me

i sure will... i was planning to do so anyway after getting a bit into the game, but i didn't expect that i'd practically not even have started it after so many days! :


as for diablo, i'm sure you'll enjoy it, just keep in mind that this one IS "mindless"! ie, not too much interaction or strategy or anything... just action (they don't call it "hack'n'slash game" for no reason!)

That sometimes all I need!  
I'm currently giving Myst another try (didn't like it before, but I think it deserves a second chance). So some good brainless fun between Myst's puzzles will be the perfect balance!
