Two Worlds II vs Two Worlds Epic Edition

[emperorehryn]

Thoughts? Haven't played 2 yet.

2nd is way better imo. Graphics, animations and immersion.

2 is better (especially with the worldmerge mod), but I'm really enjoying 1.

1 is the most amazing piece of crap I've ever played. It was so bad, it was fun. I highly recommend playing it if you can enjoy "good" bad games. Still less buggy than Bethesda and Obsidian games.

You're dumb af. I can tell.

The first one wasn't bad, unless you judged the game after 30min of playing

With all do respect to the games creators, 1 is a piece of ♥♥♥♥. But some people seam to like it though, which i can't understand. I can over look many flaws in a game, but when the game hangs or freezes every 5 seconds of walking to load something in, or when no dialog works at all, it just makes me want to stop playing the game for good. The second has a multi player community still (only about 20 though people lol) and has basically no game ruining bugs.

If i had to pick one id go with the second one. If you can enjoy games like Gothic, then you probably would enjoy the first one more than i would.

Power through the beggining of the first one, and once you figure out the games mechanics it's very enjoyable.

What are your specs? Do you have any mods or patches installed? I really wanted to get into the game but i can't walk a few footsteps without the game stopping for half a second. I walked to the first main town past the Grom camp and the stables but then decided to quit playing because of this issue. (and the no dialog issue.)

[Coalheart]

I enjoyed both. The dialog is better in the second one (it even pokes fun of the dialog in the original).

I felt that the story was equally weak in both. I couldn't even make myself give a crap about anything that was going on. To be fair, I felt the same way about Skyrim, but at least in the Two Worlds games there was still something fun about exploring and leveling up and just playing the game(s).


I didn't care for the ending of either. The first one just seemed to end abruptly without any real resolution. The 2nd one is also guilty of this, but they try and hide it by throwing in a plot twist and a really annoying "Final Boss Battle".

There's a great mod for the first one.The name eludes me but overhauls the AI and is much harder.Also as mentioned the worldmerge mod is really good for version 2.But I didn't install the other character sets as they seemed bugged for me.
Two worlds II really improves at later levels and once your off the training island and you develop some skills.
Once you get access to a sailing boat the game opens up even more as there are some neat areas to explore.Like underground area's located on tiny sand islands you would never even think such an installation would exist.
Tempted to reinstall and try a necro character with Worldmerge.

[GRUMPLE]

The game is really open world, you can even sail to other continents and just explorer freely. in other games there would be loading times, but there aren't any in this game. This game also has really quick loading times when you telaport across the map.

First part have some serious issues with some sound devices. At least with my realtek internal sound chip and/or nvidia hd audio - i had to turn off sound effects to run the game smoothly. With sound effects enabled it will have a lot of micro-freezes when i'm fighting enemies, but with sound fx off - it is smooth as butter.

That is unusual, maybe the sound library that they used has a few issues with memory management.
