When creating a character, you can choose to play as a warrior, wizard or survivor. You soon learn that you are one of the Marked Ones, one of the three that could become the Divine One, but the evil machinations of man and magic are determined to prevent any of you from succeeding. The Lord of Chaos threatens Rivellon and only the Divine One can stand against him. You awaken in a small healer's town only to find that dark forces are at work in the world.
The story behind Divine Divinity is traditional RPG fantasy fare. The result is an exciting and addictive roleplaying game that will keep you at your computer in the wee hours of the morning for weeks. With an extensive skill list, dozens of quests and nearly two hundred hours (!) of gameplay, Divine Divinity is an RPG that combines the classic play style of the best of the Ultima series with the fast-paced action of titles like Dungeon Siege and Diablo.
Not so, as Larian Studios, the Belgium-based developers of Divine Divinity have proven. With the likes of Neverwinter Nights, Dungeon Siege and Morrowind, you might think that the name of the RPG game these days is 3D. Although designed for 3D acceleration, Divine Divinity also offers a software mode, as well as multiple solutions to increase game speed. Survivors can take the path of the thief, lore, or talents, warriors follow the path of specialist, ranger, warrior's lore or gods, and wizards choose from powers of matter, body and spirit, elemental powers, or summoning. Skill sets are divided into "Ways" and associated with "Paths" for each type of character, which determines the style of play. Each character type has a special move, sneaking, swirl attack, and teleportation (survivor, warrior, and wizard respectively), as well as offensive, defensive, damage, armor, resistance, reputation, and weight restraint ratings. Quest-based gameplay features inventory management, interaction with objects, equipment (belts, gloves, rings, amulets, and more) that changes the appearance of the character when worn, trading, conversing with NPCs, and combat. Characters feature a total of 480 skill levels - 96 skills of five levels each.
Players create their character (male or female) from three professions, warrior, wizard or survivor (thief or cutthroat), with standard RPG traits and statistics in vitality, mana, strength, agility, intelligence, and constitution. Containing more than 20,000 screens, 150 non-player characters, and 100 types of monsters, the adventure is played from an isometric perspective. Divine Divinity is a massive role-playing game in the tradition of Diablo, Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale set in the fantasy world of Rivellon, where the Lord of Chaos is spreading his evil dominion.
