And I mostly mean Divine Divinity 1 and Beyond Divinty, isometric ones.

I heard they are like the Diablo games, but plays more like traditional RPGs like Baldur's Gate, etc.

I like to know how on par they are with the other GOG RPGs in terms of Characters, setting, stories, and gamplay.

I quite like them though I find them quite hard to start... but im not great at these games so it could just be me! :P

Divine Divinity is awesome! A kind of ARPG but not that heavy on combat as most of the games in this genre. As far as I remember (I played it a long time ago) it focuses more on story than on combat. On the second hand, Beyond Divinity wasn't that well received as the first part (I didn't played that one).

How so, is it because its more of the same?

Divine Divinity is an awesome game, one of the best RPGs on GOG. It's basically Diablo 2, but with less combat and more dialogue. I say go for it. I never played the second one for long, so won't comment on that one.

I was pleasantly surprised by Divine Divinity. I wasn't expecting anything more than a second-rate Diablo, but it's actually got a huge open world to explore and is much more bright and colourful. It feels more like a cross between Diablo and, say, Baldur's Gate or an Ultima game in that sense. The story isn't anything amazing (evil force is trying to return to this world, you try to stop it), but it doesn't take itself as seriously as most games and comes off as a bit more light-hearted.

Haven't played Beyond Divinity yet. Main complaint I hear is that the voice-acting is dreadful, but I've watched the beginning of a Let's Play and personally, I love it. I have a fondness for overdramatic scenery-chewing voice acting and that Death Knight just nails it!

What the hell than I am buying it, after realizing that the DOS RPGs that GOG has are really, I decided to play the Windows RPGs, and the impression I get from Beyond Divinity is that its a love it or hate it game like Ultima VIII, so mabye I'll like it. I saw vids of Divine Divinity and it has "cheesy" voice acting too.

Infact a lot of GOG RPGs has cheesy voice acting, except Fallout.

I worship the 1st though by a quirk of the graphical design the characters tend to look like they have a pole shoved up their asses when the walk.

All in one of the best. Long, varied, and something I love is that the baddies don't get harder as you progress. When you start you have easy and almost impossible all mixed together meaning you have to pick and choose your battles as you get stronger.

On a side note the end video has a great joke in it making fun of a certain part of the game, showing the designers had a sense of humor.

Ultima VIII is disliked because it's not as good as Ultima VII, not due to any fault of it's own. It is kinda short tho...

Divine Divinity is excellent, and I'd highly recommend it. It's pretty much Diablo-like gameplay combined with an open world containing plenty of NPCs, quests, etc. While I haven't played Beyond Divinity, it wasn't received quite as well due to a combination of bugs, some of the dungeon crawling getting too monotonous, and some questionable gameplay decisions (a big one I often see cited is the fact that you have to simultaneously control two characters, and if either of them bites it it's game over).

Oh and I made a typo, I meant to say that the DOS RPGs is too hard and primitive, so I am going all guns blazing with the Windows RPGs and play the DOS ones afterwards. Fallout, Baldur's Gate, Planescape, and of course Divine Divinity are now the priority.

The Death Knight is something special, though. :)

DD is pretty cool overall though it has its problems. It's pretty combat heavy (and I can't say it's particularly engaging), and there isn't much emphasis on story or role playing (in terms of dialog trees or alternate quest solutions). But it makes up for it in exploration; the world is pretty huge, open, and there's a lot of quests to do. Unfortunately it suffers a bit at both the very beginning and the very end, since you're bottlenecked in huge dungeons that drag on for too long. But the middle portion is pretty fun.

Divinity 2 was also pretty good. It's a lot smaller, but there were a lot more alternate solutions to quests and such. Liked the combat better too. Turning into a dragon was fun, if flawed. It felt like it dropped off in quality in terms of area design and difficulty balance (with much more obnoxious bosses/scripted encounters) after the halfway point though.

Of those you mentioned, play Planescape and Fallout first, because Baldur's Gate is a little more difficult, so you'll need a little "training"

I went through that in Diablo II, man those Dungeons in the later Acts went on too long.
I have more aswell, Icewind Dale, Arcanum, Temple of Elemental Evil, even Neverwinter Nights, but I wanna get into the Isometric, pre rendered graphics ones first, so I will try out Fallout 1 and beat it for the last time, it gave me a good impression when I first tried it out, now I am gonna plow through it :)
