Hi, what an absolutely PERFECT game.

Just beat it first time, but have a question thats not covered in the manual.

Whats the difference between Easy, Normal & Hard Difficulty ?

I played at normal, as a Fighter with the final stats as (including charms)
Strength 190
Agility 170
Magic 70
Constitution 110
and all resistances over 136, lightning at 165.

As Fighter i found the game easy, the special move was awesome at higher levels. But the finale was a bit dull, the members of the Black Ring fell too easily.

But still, this game was VERY GOOD !! Is Beyond divinity just as good ?

I've never tried easy or hard, but I've been told it ramps up the level of difficulty of all monsters. It doesn't give you any more experience for kills.

I didn't find BD as good, frankly. It's arguably more linear, at least in some areas, and certain weapons/spells skills have to be taken in a specific order to really do any reasonable damage. Lockingpicking is broken, and pickpocketing is so cheesy that it amounts to a cheat. (I was able to grab 7 items from every merchant I encountered with just one level of it.) The interface is also pretty annoying. There's definitely more depth than in DD, however. Up to you.

i have to agree with fable here

the voice acting in BD is probably the worst i've ever ecountered in a rpg-game ( and i've played most of them )

i spent 10 pts on my lockpick skill before i found out it was broken :D :D so i've got a pretty bad character, but i refuse to start over again since i dont like the game very mutch

alot of bugs ( yes DD had alot of bugs aswell but it got better when the patches came )

it feels like im just running, killing, running , killing. no guilds, no really cool characters etc

i'm only @ act 4 now, so i dont know what's coming up next, but i have a strong feeling its the same as before

DD had a better RPG feeling about it, something BD lacks totaly sorry to say
