Has anyone played Divine Divinity?

[Alram]

In previous posts I described myself as a dedicated, devoted adventure gamer enamored of Myst-ian type puzzling with only a diversion into several of the Tomb Raider games that I found (surprisingly) very enjoyable.

Then I found Diablo in the discount bin at CompUSA! That was fun! My first toe in the water of RPGs was a huge success. I played it through in single player 4 or 5 times trying all the different characters. Not too fond of the ending, though...

Now I've found Divine Divinity at CompUSA for $9.99. Had to buy it since something I read about it compared it favorably to Diablo.

Has anybody played this game? Is it like Diablo? I'll probably know more soon because I'm going to install it as soon as I get chance.

It has the same sort of camera angle as Diablo, and the combat is not terribly unlike Diablo. There are conseqences for different choices you make in certain quests, as well as for actions such as thievery. The world also is not as linear as Diablo and is open ended to a certain extent.
The skill point system is not as well done as Diablo.
The bottom line is that you are going to enjoy Divine Divinity.
