Has anyone played Divine Divinity?

...?

I read and responded to what you had to say, and frankly, what you have to say is outdated by at least 10 years.

Are you just picking on Pete because he's an ol' fella?;)

I'll spell it out for you. You give this definition:

"The distinction to me between an RPG and a non-RPG is that you take the role of a single character and follow that character's progression, whether it be through level ups, enhancements of skills, or simple storyline developments."

Pete says this:

"I guess the distinction to me between an RPG and a non-RPG is that you take the role of a single character and follow that character's progression where the player has the ability to alter the path of the character, whether it be through level ups, enhancements of skills, or simple storyline developments."

The idea of choice is intergral to what an RPG is. Without it, you aren't playing a character you've created, but rather a character determined for you by the game itself.

Make sense?:)

Cheers,

Munk
