While quests are, of course, completely optional, there is really no reason to avoid any of the available quests. While the main story itself takes roughly only 20 or so hours to play, the quest system to be found adds several dozen more. While it would have been great to see at least some variation from the generic, I still felt compelled by the story that was told which is really all that matters. Divine Divinity has a very eloquent method o storytelling, and despite its clich?path, the story comes out feeling fresh and new. What the bulk of the story comes down to, then, is how the story is told. It is unfortunate that it seems so difficult to break from this same, simple shell. Those who are familiar with the typical storyline found in many RPGs are likely to find few surprises here. If this sounds a little clich? that’s because it is. This young man (or woman) begins in a small village and eventually works his (or her) way up to the big city, all the while learning more about himself and his past until his final confrontation with the hordes of evil and eventually the lord of darkness himself in order to save the world. The story details the exploits of the so-called, “Divine One”, a person with humble beginnings who is destined to accomplish great things. This level of dedication to storyline is indicative of what you can expect to find throughout the entire game. How deep is the story or Divine Divinity? Deep enough that, included with the game is a 27-page short story outlining the history of the world of Rivellon (the world in which the game takes place) so that the player can have a better understanding of their surroundings before they even set out for their adventures. Such is the world of Divine Divinity a game aptly named for the heavenly experience that will soon come to you.

For behind the seemingly foolish title lies a game full of everything that one could hope for in an RPG: an epic storyline and compelling gameplay all wrapped into a beautiful world full of rich sights and sounds and teeming with life. But once I actually began to play, I quickly renounced my shameful ways. I did the same thing when I first picked up this title. Go ahead, scoff at the name, “Divine Divinity”.
