This is the only game I will ever shill.
Its so fun and creative with good quests, enviroments, big memorable difficulty spikes like josaphene.
Gameplay is basic but extremely satisfying, I just shocked dudes from accross screen for a lot of the game.
a story/quest writing that was designed first and foremost to be enjoyable for someone to actually play than just something to think about.
Ost is 10/10 accross the board, I put it above a lot of final fantasy sound tracks easily.
Its so fucking good, I think the only actual bad design was making every enemy in the last hour practically immune to magic.
But whatever I played a mage and got though it.
Also like a couple jokes don't land, but whatever a good amount do and the cheesy voice acting is just great.
I genuinely rank it as a top 5 western rpg, and you owe yourself to play it if you haven't.

>Diablo but an actual RPG and not just a carpal tunnel simulator

What did this have that Sacred missed? On the surface they're very similar games, but once you play both, the reception is very different.

Can't agree. I kinda liked it (even felt compelled to grind levels through the resurrection trick), but it's hard to not see it for what it is: kinda generic and janky Diablo clone with some extra mechanics and ideas.I mean, it has elves which is always a big plus, but it's really a basic bitch story and setting. It only matters because it got expanded into a respectable fantasy setting by future more sophisticated instellmants, I gather.The idea to scale XP earned from monsters down as you level up BUT scale XP earned from quests up as you level is some legendardy tier of cursed stupid mistakes, which punishes proper gameplay and rewards ridiculous metagaming where you first clear all the map and then return to the starting town to start doing al the quests you tip-toed around until that point.

Resistances creeping up absolutely did make the game easier, I wiped some area easily and only later realised it was because all the elemental attacks did hardly anything - I had super high resistances even if I should have had just 20-30 %..

Op here back after a week.
Read all of your posts, but I just really really really like it. The music which Kirill Pokrovsky was a genius i will stand 10 toes on that, levels, cheesy voice acting, fun dumb gameplay that still has enough in it I was excited everytime I got a good drop and quest writing designed to be about a fun scenario than boring lore shit all come together to make a game that puts a smile on my face whenever I play it.
Its not some ultimate challenge that justifys needing to do metagame shit, I have no idea how the xp system works with quests and monster xp so technically blah blah blah.
And thats fine.
This game was made to be enjoyable and for the player to have fun in its world and I appreciate it a lot for that more than any pretentious bore fest.
Also you're game isnt good if theirs no bee Level, and thats the truth
I do belive this is a top 5 crpg and my real hot take is beyond isn't that bad. Like its bad because its a rushed cashgrab but I played dozens of rpgs worse easily

Is the Divine Divinity Mod worth trying?
