I want Divine Divinity because it harkens back to old school RPGs with more
updated graphics. It goes back to the days of Ultima6 and Ultima7 before
RPGs were pure hack and slash (like Diablo and Dungeon Siege) when there was
freedom to move and to interact with the environment. I feel that this game
truly makes up for what lacked with the end of the Ultima series, Ultima 8,
which paved the way for the linear hack and slash games.
This game, along with Morrowind and Arx Fatalis, is bringing a revolution in
RPG gaming, a revolution that brings back what was fun and so fascinating
about the genre to begin with.
This game will finally bring my wife (played the demo) to understand why
these kind of RPGs are so loved by myself and by so many others instead of
Diablo and its clones.
Finally, I want this game because it is just plain fun and it brings a tear
to my eye to bring the good 'ole days back to gaming.
