Are there actually any games similar to the Ultima Underworld series? - by sammy22

Planescape: Torment is (IMO) the best RPG (actually, I say best game) in all time... story-wise. Gameplay wise, it's just your typical RPG, nothing special, but the story will blow your mind!
I'd recommend playing this one last though, 'cus it'll make all the other RPGs' stories look like trash compared to PS:T's.

glad to hear it, i've just ordered a copy of e-bay.
I didn't realise how rare the game has become. Some copies of the game were going for £30-£40 pounds.

Heard good things about "Divine Divinity," too (Diablo-killer). ("The worst thing about 'Divine Divinity' is the name."--Gamespot, I think.) It's becoming scarce, though, so, if you want one, look now, or try eBay. I know my local stores are out, and aren't getting it back.
Haven't heard much about "Beyond Divinity" (the current sequel) yet, but that one IS readily available.

I think Beyond Divinity actually includes Divine Divinity free.

You know, GMTA, Mentalepsy, I actually had that same thought while I was considering picking it up yesterday--"This would be exactly the sort of situation in which they'd bundle their sleeper hit in with the new game." I scoured the box looking for some mention of a bundled-in DD and couldn't find any.
I'll check their website and toss everyone a link if I find anything.
(UPDATE: CDV's website is singularly uninformative on this, but (
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=62053&item=8106944786&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW) the eBay listers save the day once again. I swear I didn't see a sticker on the store boxes, though. Hm.)
