Divine Divinity & Beyond Divinity look like games that I would really enjoy. But for once I resisted the release day purchase impulse and I'm glad I did. I'm curious to see if this will really be patched.
I hereby pledge to purchase both as soon as I hear that DD has been patched.

Ok, that makes a lot more sense. I don't run software that does that so I'm ok on that account. I agree that it's good that Larian is trying to patch it, but again, it shouldn't have been released here if it was in such a poor state. I've purchased several games from GOG, and this is by far the worst behaving one so far. If I were to actually pick up a couple more that behaved like this I would definitely stop telling my friends about how great GOG is....

I agree with everything stuff said. the fact that, despite all the bugs, i am still very very much into the game tells you how great a game it is.
I really really eagerly await the patch. as it is right now... and this is unfortunate... i am running into a lot of bugs. I'm finding clever ways to work around them (like how desdemona would crash every time she attacked me, so what i did was spend 2 points of skill on Freeze and prevented her from ever hitting me) but i'm running out of ways. right now i'm in the bee/wasp world and crash is really easy to happen here.
btw, just to add: many of us older players (i'm 30, which is not that old i know) aren't too bothered by the bugs because we grew up playing games with TONS of bugs. and we loved them. remember master of magic?

Let's not talk about old,OLD games we played . . .=^ )
The alternative to GOG . . .remember Hellgate: London . . . $60 rental fee, DRM infested, install limits, messed up patch system, forced DL content / patch sign-up, internet connection required, 12 hr play through, bugs . . . . Oh, wait . . . all new games are like that now.

indeed. although i still play MoM every so often. great game.
you know what, stuff? i like DD so much I'm thinking of picking up a used retail copy somewhere. is there a real big difference between teh remastered version and the retail?

I missed DD completely, it was released during my "I'll never buy another game" period. Guess that is why I am enjoying it now, brand new to me. I think it had a max res of 1024x768 but was basically the same as the GOG release.
I have several games that I ALWAYS have installed, DD (when patched) may finally knock Diablo LOD out of the lineup.
Edit: Thread about differences http://www.gog.com/en/forum/divine_divinity_series/remastered_version_vs_cd

I wish BD's interface were more like DD: simple and easy. I've only played about half an hour (with 10 of those minutes trying to figure out how to level up) and just can't bring myself to go any further.
I know it isn't fair to pass judgement so quickly, but...playing this hurts.

Interesting, I had not heard there was a different UI for BD. I just downloaded it this week and will probably not install until I finish a patched version of DD. Thanks for the heads-up . . .=^ )

lol. This never happened to me but hearing about it is funny.

It's not that bad. I have a pretty flawless copy. I have the Xplosiv CD-ROM edition.

I never could get on with Morrowind for some reason. I think it's the 1st person perspective that puts me off. I will play 1st person, but only on a select few games that don't irritate me, although I much prefer 3rd person games.
