How well done is the character customization? Can you make a character with dark/brown skin or is the limit just a lite tan?
This really kind of a deal breaker for me in the end. I've ended up taking a pass on Divinity 2 due to this after looking more into it's character creator. It's made me appreciate the Elders Scroll series so much more as a result. Even White Knight Chronicles as well. It doesn't really matter in games like The Witcher since you are clearly playing an established character.
Edit: Came across this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khw90HeWq2Q&feature=related - and it seems I might have to change my mind. Messing with the skin tone and complexion setting at the same time seems to get close to a look I'm more interested in.

I'm getting a really strange graphics error.
The entire edge of my helmet is solid white. Extremely white. Also, around the lower parts of my boots, the edges are white.
I also noticed that there was an NPC wearing a medallion around his neck, and the entire edge of the medallion was solid white. Everything else in the game looks fine.
I hadn't played the game in a month and booted it up to notice this strange artifacting. Has it always been there? It's incredibly distracting. I installed the 1.1 patch after this, and the strange outlines are still there.
I'm pretty sure it's not a bad graphics card, as all other games look fine.
This is on a 5770 with the latest Catalyst drivers.

Downloaded the patch and I see the AA option, but it won't let me change it. I can change the AF options all the way to 16, but AA won't budge.

So I just ordered a ps3 copy from eBay. I think it ships from hong kong, does anybody know if the game text and voices are in english?
I've ordered mine through Ebay UK on the 1/1/11 
Should have it next week sometime, hopefully early on,lol
I'm actually surprised with everything i've been looking at for this title.
Graphics look awesome for an RPG.
I remember a time when RPGs where always classed to have the worst graphics due to the size of programming.
All that changed for me when i played Morrowind, and yet when Oblivion released on a 360 Launch title (Aus) i was blown away.
Its funny that i find that some RPGs challenge 'other' games Graphically now.
And now this Two Worlds 2, not only looks great but the animations from the charactor is awesome aswell.
No more stiffness movement.
Everything i've been seeing on this, is giving me good vibes.
I know i'll be enjoying this title.
..........................................
On a side note,
Thanks DennisK4, for all the posts on vids and pics that convinced me to get this game.
Can't wait, as i was looking for a title to settle down for awhile.
Edit: Forgot to add, i'm getting this on Playstation3

Just got my PS3 copy - I'm really excited for this one, I was one of the few who actually enjoyed the original Two Worlds, despite it's faults, because ultimately I'm a sucker for beautiful and expansive worlds to explore, and in that regards everything I've seen of TW2 is above and beyond the original, so I can't wait to get into it.
*edit, lol - first glitch and I haven't even started the game; the intro movie becomes decidedly choppy and screen-tears making it near unwatchable :lol

I live in asia and they have the euro version out here. I'm guessing yours will be the same and yes everything is in english.
I need to play this game more, the controls are a bit janky on the console version (i have it for ps3) which makes combat quite frustrating. I find myself chasing animals around and swinging my sword hoping it will connect.

If I'm not mistaken, I read somewhere that the NA ps3 version was being delayed in order to fix bugs and whatnot. I've encountered a few bugs and glitches as well, here's to hoping they release an extensive patch eventually.

Thanks. I don't know why I was so antsy to get a copy a week earlier. I think I'll like it though!

Can anyone comment on how this runs on the 360? I'll be grabbing mine copy on the 25th (in the US) and I'm curious as to the performance.
Now that the game has been out for a while, how does it hold up in later parts of the game/during the end-game? As an example, I fucking love Risen, but I feel that game fizzles during later parts of the game, and then ends pretty abruptly. Also, the number of quests lower significantly after a while. Does this game stay strong all the way through, or does it just provide an initial 'wow' factor which quickly disappears?
I got to play about 4 hours last night after work. Import PS3 version. I've been playing the xbox version of the first one for a few days and this one is a night and day difference. The graphics are really a huge step up, though the framerate can jump at times, and the animation is pretty janky. The voice acting is better than I expected, but not great. The controls work pretty well, though the default camera speed was pretty jarring until I turned it down. The systems are pretty deep, especially the spell system. I played about 3 hours of the campaign and just got to the savannah. I tried the multiplayer adventure mode, and despite the British kid that was talking very loud to everyone is his house, it was still really enjoyable. There are 7 missions, apparently each in a different area, and it's almost like a linear MMO quest line. We started in a town, then cleared enemies up to a graveyard, killed a bunch of undead in the graveyard and then continued to a seemingly large outpost filled with groms before my partner quit. Your character (you can save up to 5, MMO style) is persistent. I chose a necromancer for this part, and it was harder than the single player game because I had almost zero knowledge of the magic system.
Overall, I'd give it an 8 right now. Maybe even a 9 once it releases here in the states and there are more people to co-op with. HUGE improvement over the first.

I hate that I'm the person that keeps bumping this thread up, but god damn I love this game! I've played about 4 hours of the campaign and probably 15-20 in the online mode. I have 3 missions left to finish, and I'm level 20. I've been playing mostly solo, grouping here & there, and it reminds me of an MMO a lot. The only gripe I have about the online mode is that each mission is pretty straight forward. Each has a fairly large area, but there are no side quests to complete. I've been wandering around heading towards my next part of the mission and come across outposts of enemies and whole areas with stuff to kill but no goal there. I really hope that they have some DLC coming for this because new quests for my character would be so awesome.
I love the game too, junior.Seventy5 said:
I hope that the game does very well and get a Two Worlds III. Going back to a larger, less linear world like in the first game but keeping the amazing graphics and higher production values from the sequel would be perfect.
The game isn't a super high budget AAA title, so what they have accomplished is all the more impressive to me.
Along with Risen these games are reminders that you don't need mega budgets and teams to make open-world RPGs that are graphically far superior to the games from Betsheda and Bioware.

The great impressions have pushed me over the edge - I'll grab this as soon as my new PC arrives. Great videos, DennisK4.
UK will get a limited release of the Royal Edition for Two Worlds II:
By the way, Two Worlds, the first game has been patched well and is now a great buy. It doesn't look as good as the sequel and is more janky but it is also a less linear and larger open world game. Get it for cheap if you can.
