Yeah, it's a good game. It rips off A LOT of stuff from Diablo 2, but it adds way more depth to the game than diablo 2 ever had, and that makes it cooler. The quest system in diablo 2 is like, "go here, kill this guy, bring me this", and the quest system in divine divinity is like "bring me this", and you have to pretty much figure out what you're supposed to do. It's really nothing like Diablo 2 when it comes to the actual gameplay though, I would consider it more of a mix between baldur's gate/icewind dale/neverwinter nights, morrowind, and the ultima series. When you have conversations with people, you choose your responses and their opinions of you are based on how you talk to them. The trade system is like fallout, where you open up a dialogue with the NPC and then click on trade, and it opens up a menu of stuff they have and the value of it, and it opens up a menu of your stuff and the values, and you pretty much have to match up your values with their values to get a trade.
The stats and level system is ripped directly from diablo, you get exp and gain a level, and then you get five points to put in either strength, intelligence, dexterity, or vitality. If you've played diablo, you know what all of those are so I won't go into detail.
Generally, even though it sounds a lot like diablo, and it looks a lot like diablo, it's not really like it at all, and it was definitely worth downloading for free and mounting on a virtual drive on my computer because I don't have any blank media to burn it to.
