The game is sort of what would happen if Skyrim and Baldur's Gate did a fusion dance.

Also SirJolt and SirToren are probably the worst adventurer pair out there. The following is an actual dialogue our characters had in game.

Sir Toren: Hello, friend. I don't know if you noticed, but last fight that fireball happened to catch me on fire. Might I ask you are a bit more careful in the next encounter?
Sir Jolt: Well maybe if you weren't so big and stupid, it wouldn't have hit you.

I don't remember my reply to that but it was something along the lines of, I am sorry I brought that up, I won't mention it again.

SUCH A DICK

Holy shit, Torenhire's posting!!

I am also eagerly awaiting this but it will.

You guys who love your good/evil complex games have no idea. Black and White is the ultimate in this genre of decision making affecting gameplay.

You're a god, train your creature to be good and gentle, or to stop on your villages, crap on their houses and corpses, and eat them. you can train your creature not only simple actions like stepping on villagers, but complex actions such as step on them, throw them at their house, and then fire a fireball at their house and do that reliably if you leash them aggressive style or to your village squares.

The entire plot of the game is about trying to survive another destructive god, and the entire game is a development not only of you on an alignment scale, but also your creature.

There's so many endless hours of joy in setting villager's kids on fire in front of them or trying to build the most massive villages by helping them grow with wood and grain spells.
There's no reason blizzard can't release new units or fixes to a game without creating another costly "expansion" you've already paid 100$ for, unless they want to treadmill the gambler with future promises of "it gets better"

Surprised people like it so much... I only played a bit at the start, but I was really put off by how bad the writing is. I feel like the story is the most important part of an RPG, and the fact that my characters are completely generic and every dialogue is more or less downright stupid took the motivation from me. The actual combat was pretty decent though.

You gotta get the Pet Friend skill/feat or whatever so you can talk to animals. The animals know stuff that nobody else does and will give you quests. The poor graveyard dog was distraught.

You didn't play Divine Divinity? It's not a game that takes itself very seriously. And it takes a while to actually get into the atmosphere. Also felt the same initially with the Larian games, but it gets better the further you get into it. Kirill adds a lot to it though.
I'm taking whatever coverage I can get, because frankly, I'm busy working on this million dollar deal at my job. Early retirement is a good thing brotha man. - MessengerASL
