Description

You are, of course, "The Chosen One" according to a prophecy. But before you can venture out to slay evil, you must be blessed as the Divine Savior.

Divine Divinity is an isometric 2D RPG similar to the style of Diablo, set in a completely original fantasy universe. The entire game world consists of over 20,000 screens, each one being a seamless transition into the next with weather effects and day/night cycles. Many subquests and nonlinear gameplay allow much exploration and replayability.

Some of the game's features include six character classes with nearly a hundred skills to learn, over 100 different types of creatures and 150 unique NPCs. Almost 500 skill levels to learn. The interface is among the most useful in any RPGs. The controls are simple, yet intuitive. An automap and journal makes sure you always know where you are and where you're supposed to be going.

Trivia

Fun with Polymorph:

The 'Polymorph' spell is designed to transform an opponent into a harmless creature, such as a frog or a rabbit. After the transformation, you can easily kill the opponent.

But try this:

Polymorph a member of the Black Ring at your first encounter. For example, he/she is now a frog. Beat the frog and he/she will, as usual, escape. When Janus later summons his allies in a scripted scene, the polymorphed member will not appear in its normal form, but still as the frog, even when weeks have passed between those two encounters. :)
