What is Beyond Divinity?

This single-player fantasy RPG follows a character bound to a Death Knight by a curse. From an isometric view, you switch between them, pause combat to give commands, develop their skills, and explore four story acts with nonlinear quests. Randomly generated Battlefields provide additional enemies, loot, and quests.

+you enjoy exploring nonlinear quests in a fantasy setting
+you prefer pausing combat to give party commands

Not for you if...

−you prefer controlling one character rather than managing two
−you dislike searching for switches to open doors

Players praise the story and expanded lore, but many find the gameplay cumbersome compared with Divine Divinity. Players also report crashes, quest bugs, and corrupted saves.
