I've played Divine countless times (owned it for years), but never actually finished. Come close, but not quite.

Just downloaded Beyond and I was just curious if there is anything I am missing by not finishing prt 1 100%? I'm tempted to reinstall 1 and play it though to the end but I just don't know if I'm up to all of those quest, joining all of those guilds, finding all of those portals, etc

Thats the beauty of this series. Most shooters you pay $20 + and you're done in 10 hours. Divinity you fork over $5 and you are still trying to poison the Orcs six months later!

If you made it to the wastelands, then you wouldn't be missing much story by not finishing. Somebody has probably put the end up on Youtube, but basically you defeat some Black Ring leaders and the Demon of Lies, but not before he completes a ritual to summon part of the Lord of Chaos into the body of a baby.

The 'Child of the Chaos' novella covers the events between DD and BD, though most of it is summarized in dialog and books in BD.


About the ending, posted by one of the Larian artists (at the time) in that forum;
*sigh*
I would have never thought that the language of pure image is so hard to understand. We have to think about that in the future...

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!

Ascension "Blessing" cutscene
After you got sacrificed by the council of seven your spirit awakes in a divine realms on an altar. Around you the ideas of the seven gods are manifesting. You can roughly separate impish, human, elven or orcish gods...
Everyone of them grabs into their chest and puts a small part of the heart into your weightless shape. After you received all blessing the :div: in you is fully developed and so her wings grow and she flies up to the mortal plane where she descends as the reborn hero into the wastelands.

Extro scene
You see the demon of lies dying. In fact you see the mutiliated body of janus ripped into pieces and the leftover, the sword of lies, remains. It comes closer and tries to seduce the hero. The hero is tempted to take it but refuses and sends it back to hell away from the mortal plane.
Then the hero hears the cries of the baby. Knowing that it is the lord of chaos inside the child he/she draws the dagger to kill it. In the hero's moral struggle to kill a neborn innocent child the scene fades out.
Much later you see the hero walk out victorious into the swamp area. He carries something. Loot? The child? You don't know for sure...
Somewhere on a distant hill Arhu and Zandalor watch you coming when suddenly the statue you lifted up in the sky while entering the katacombs of aleroth comes down finally...(side joke, nothing more)

A joke but one of the great moments in computer RPGs.
