Beyond Divinity Preview

GameSpot has put together a preview of Beyond Divinity, based upon an updated version of the RPG they were able to get their hands on. An excerpt:

The game will be divided into five “acts.” The different acts will pose varied challenges that will require you to travel to distant lands and to eventually learn the secret of “rift running”–travel across different planes of existence. To do so, you’ll have to not only master tactical combat (the game will let you pause battles at any time to plan your next move), but also learn skills, like stealth. In Act Three, for instance, you may be required to sneak past guards who have a limited field of vision, or you may be required to raise a certain sum of gold to continue, like in the opening sequences of BioWare’s classic RPG Baldur’s Gate II.
