Beyond Divinity                           

                                                

The Name of the game is Beyond Divinity! Formally known as

Riftrunner.

This is the next epic quest from our friends at Larian Studios.

 

 

The story…

You are a servant of the Divine One, twenty years after the defeat of

the evil Black Ring. Your mission in life is to defeat evil wherever it may be found.

 While having a particularly fierce battle with a powerful

necromancer, a demon captures you and takes you to it’s Hell World. 

 As if being in Hell is not enough, the demon also Soulforges you to a

Deathknight. There you will spend eternity bound to this demon of hate.

Or maybe not…

The demon does not like this Soulforging either. The two of you bound,

 by your souls,

 must find a way to undo this evil binding.

The discovery of  Rifts in time and place is the only answer to your delimas.

You must master the art of Riftrunning to find freedom once again.

Or die trying…

 

 

 

 

 






 

 

Total RPG Experience

There are many variables that a true RPG should deliver. With Beyond Divinity, the team at Larian Studios once again proves that it masters them all. Beyond Divinity offers infinite character development, more than two hundred ninety different skills, unparalleled levels of interactivity; intense item fever, a wide variety of enemies; a next generation rule set; tons of quests and a brand new combat system. By catering to all these facets with equal importance, Beyond Divinity truly delivers the total RPG experience. Divine Divinity was critically acclaimed for it’s depth and level of interactivity. Beyond Divinity now contains over double the levels of interactivity of Divinity! It’s this level of detail that made RPG players drool in two thousand and two and what is going to make them drool in two thousand and four once again!

Rich and Rewarding Storyline

Without any doubt the heart of any true RPG is it’s story. It is the main artery that is needed for it’s very survival since it’s what motivates players to develop their characters. Beyond Divinity contains a rich storyline that will take players through a fantastic universe and offer them many plot twists. In addition, Beyond Divinity has one extra card up it’s sleeve for total RPG heaven… The Random quest generator! This innovative feature opens up the universe to even the most hardcore of quest seekers!

Our Heros

Be they young or old, fat or skinny, male or female. It is their job to save the world and find a way to undo the Soulforging.

In rags…   

Or armor…

 

Or by ways of magic…

This Soulforging will be undone!

Beta Testing is almost done. The lucky ones who have played and escaped to Malaysia are VERY happy they had the opportunity to play! Word is, the game is fantastic! A demo is Due to be out soon. I am hoping for March, but early April sounds more like it. The buffing and polishing is going on at a frantic pace. Kirill's musical score is sounding awsome too! I hope he is going to save some creative juice for Divinity Two!! For a taste of it all, be sure to check out the links. You will not be dissapointed!

Home Away From Home

Once again I would like to thank Larian Studios for their devotion to their fans.

The forum at Larian is just full of smart, kind, creative, and funny people from all over the world.

Our Larians pop in when they can to add content to the constant ongoing conversations about anything and everything. The core being The Divinity Universe!

IMHO, world governments should take notes on civility and kindness from the forum at Larian. I have never seen a company that cares for their fans as much as Our Larians do!!! Or fans that care as much for other fans!!!

May the Gods bless, and keep all of you safe!
