@ghettovr quick question, and i would love if you answered it, the beginning, when it shows the cover of the Epic, of the book, is it an english version of the book? i have been looking for a copy of the book with that cover for a long time but have not found one. could you tell me where i may find it please?

I'm Italian and I think this translation is great! :-) I've just finished reading this first part of the Divine Comedy, it's awesome. Thank you for uploading these videos. I've always wanted to read it in English too, at least I can listen to some translations xD =)

Ya they changed the store a lot in the game, but lets face it. If they had made the game exactly like the poem, it would have sucked as a Video game. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying the poem sucks. I love the original poem. Heck I am reading (listening acualy) for fun. But I love the game too, and I like the things they added in. And I think if they had stuck with the original poem, it wouldn't have been as good. Thats just my opinion.

@Charon4201 Yeah; wasn't the game inspired by (though completely changed from) the poem?

@bigmanoooo1 I remember I once had a co-worker who suggested that we place a copy of the entire "inscription above the gates of Hell" given here above the employee's entrance.

@Ondalatina1900 I'm sorry; I don't speak Italian.
