Is the Underworld expansion of Sacred included? If so, then a clear yes. If
not, then $20 is probably still a good price if you download all patches
and the free "Plus" expansion from Ascaron's site. As for Beyond Divinity
.... I'd wait it drops to $15 or below.

I would say yes to Sacred. Expect about 20-30 good solid fun hours in
Sacred before it gets repetitive and not-so-much-fun. I never finished it
so can't say much about the end game, but I'm going to be reinstalling it
in the near future to see if Sacred Underworld is any good. I haven't
played Beyond Divinity but I managed to do a trade for it so it should
arrive soonish, I'll report back what I think.

I was lucky enough to notice the Starforce driver on the Beyond Divinity
install disk before it polluted my system.

It adds a device driver for your CD drive to your windows\system
directory. Some versions of the driver don't like some CD drives and
can make a game unplayable. It can also conflict with virtual CD
drives, making them unusable. I don't care to try the experiment on my
machine.
