I believe that it was a big mistake to sell it for 30 $ in the US from the beginning, so people get the misconception that it is a budget title.
Radon Labs indeed cut out 75% of the DSA system. But the rest is still quite a lot. Some of the skills are certainly underused. That's no surprise for a dev's first RPG.
$30 is stil a bit too steep for me. I've got a huge blacklog of older games to plays still. Just getting through the Forgotten Realms Collection silverbox will take months.
I rarely buy a game a soon as it is released. It's not only not cost effective, but I don't like to beta-test and wait for patches, and I rarely have a state of the art PC to take advantage of all the latest whizbang graphic features.
There is also a way to speed up the character movement considerably. You need an SQLite Database Browser for this, though. Works like a charm and helps a lot if you have to run back and forth across the same map all the time.First of all, the game is not old and graphics are decent. And the game isn't that slow (if you mean the characters).
I never understood what people have against the speed. Why must everything be so fast nowadays ? In my case, I was very much enjoying the landscape meanwhile running. The only place where i found all the running too much was before the first castle (forgot its name), but even around Tallon I could very much enjoy the landscape.
Sounds stupid isn't it ?
The point where it got a bit much for me were the Blood Mountains. I had to go back and forth on that map all the time. Additionally, I had some troubles finding the last bandit camp, and as, by that point, I knew every flower on the main map area by first name, I wanted to get forward. The map looked nice, but enough is enough.I never understood what people have against the speed. Why must everything be so fast nowadays ?

Yes, it sounds stupid.
*I* want to have the choice. If I want to do sight seeing *I* set the speed to walking instead of running. Having the default set to snail speed is not acceptable.
people will very likely call me stupid, because I 1. I refuse to use the running speed in towns (just looks unrealistic to me (I'm *not* running towards the next shop to buy my newspaper in real life !) and 2. because I decide to "slow the game down" at all.
For me, the default running speed of Divinity 2 is too fast - now when I say in a forum that I let my character almost only walking in towns, people will very likely call me stupid, because I 1. I refuse to use the running speed in towns (just looks unrealistic to me (I'm *not* running towards the next shop to buy my newspaper in real life !) and 2. because I decide to "slow the game down" at all.
No matter what I do, I'm lost, because I'm not doing what the majority does.
Really? I'm a little gullible when it comes to people joking around, but you really switch your character to walking speed in towns for the duration of the whole game? Not just this one?
I wouldn't call that stupid, but you sure are more hardcore than I am. I wouldn't have the patience or time to do that. If you have the time and don't mind walking around everywhere in a town then I guess it sorta makes sense. You'll definatly be playing the game longer than I would.
