	Kids Awards 2004 and 2005 for "Best Game of the Year" Ketnetkick, the world's first creative and interactive TV community, launched by Belgium's national broadcasting channel VRT on October 28th, 2004, has won the Kids Awards 2004 for "Best Game of the Year" and again in 2005.
	European Seal of Excellence in Multimedia 2004 On behalf of the European Multimedia Associations' Convention, Larian Studios has won the European Seal of Excellence in Multimedia 2004. The European Seal of Excellence in Multimedia distinguishes European companies with applications, services or technologies that are genuinely outstanding and world class and non-European companies with an outstanding track record of collaborating with Europe.
	Outstanding Achievement in Music - IGN RPGVault Beyond Divinity has been awarded with the "Outstanding Achievement in Music" award in 2002 for the music. Kirill Pokrovsky demonstrated his talent and sensitivity by creating a score for Beyond Divinity that may well be its defining strength. The individual tracks not only succeed in capturing and conveying a variety of moods to suit the game's range of situations, but also come together to form a unified and eminently enjoyable whole that played a critically important role in Larian's intriguing tale of a character soul forged to a Death Knight."
	Nominee Best RPG of 2002 - GameSpot (86%) "Divine Divinity simply is one of this year’s best efforts at capturing all the best qualities of the role-playing genre: the experience of growing more and more powerful while leaving an undeniable impression on a memorable, richly detailed world."
	Runner Up Best PC RPG Game of the Year - GameSpy (84%) "If you like the idea of playing a roleplaying game that gives you such an incredible amount of freedom to do what you want when you want it, you’ll want to rush out and buy the game right away."
	Platinum Award - RPGDot (92%) "Overlooking this game would be a disservice to yourself. Larian has done what they set out to do. They've given you simple, fun gameplay and the depth that makes the roleplaying genre great. "
	Editor’s Choice Award - RPGVault (8.5/10) "Divine Divinity is a very easy game to get into and enjoy,” said Barry Brenesal, contributing editor to IGN PC. “It has atmosphere, tons of quests, and a great deal of variety to offer. Above all, it’s plain fun to play."
	Outstanding Achievement in Music - RPGVault (8.5/10) "With the quality of game music continuing to surge, this category had far more worthy candidates than ever before. While it was very difficult to select just one, our choice is the Divine Divinity soundtrack. Composed and created by Kirill Pokrovsky, it very proficiently supports the changing moods and locations in the game, never becoming either overwhelming or repetitive."
	Essential Award - PC Zone UK (85%) "While you can find many of the elements of Divine Divinity in other RPG’s, its rare to find one that combines them as Successfully and surprisingly as this one does." "An impressive RPG"
	Editor’s Choice Award - Domashny PK (5/5) "Best RPG of the year up to date"
	Gold Award - GoneGold (84%) "This is exactly the kind of game that gamers should be voting for with their wallets".
	Perfect Score award - PC Gaming (5/5) "Once you start you’ll not want to stop because the game is brilliant."
	Best PC Game of 2002 - LoadedInc (87%) "...Divine Divinity managed to break through and offer some of the deepest and most rewarding gameplay I’ve experienced in a PC RPG for quite some time. Divine Divinity takes the best bits of Diablo II, the overall feel of Ultima VII, adds some great dialogue, and throws in more quests than you can shake a stick at… and winds up with what is, in my opinion, the PC Game of the Year."
