Thanks for the answer, and awesome avatar btw.

Didn't know it was a separate mode though. Hopefully you won't mind a few more questions:

1. Does it use the character (skills, experience, inventory) progression from the single player or is it a separate save/character?
2. Is it possible to trade items/weapons/armor with friends online?
3. Just to make sure: It has voice chat, right?
4. Is it like Sacred 2 where you can be on one end of the map and your friend in another, or are all members of the party confined to the same area?
5. Somebody mentioned above that the co-op mode can't be finished with only a party of two. Does it have to be a full party of seven for the end game?
6. Is it drop-in/drop-out?
7. To be clear: is it like a parallel campaign, or is it more like a series of missions? I mean, does it have a cohesive story, or is it more like an Uncharted 2 co-op/MW2 Spec-ops where you just choose a mission and complete it?

Thanks again for the answers!

Thanks.

1) It's a completely different character, and you're allowed to have 4 different characters for the multiplayer, which means that you can develop a warrior, ranger, and mage if you please.

Most people did not like the fact that you couldn't use your single player campaign character, me personally, I could have gone either way.
2) Yes.
3)Yes.
4)It is like Sacred 2, you can go wherever you want regardless of where your friends are. There are teleports scattered throughout each region so if you decide to venture somewhere else you can catch a teleport to where your friends are.
5)To be honest, I haven't completed the co-op yet, but so far I've been playing by myself or with another person so I would assume that you can indeed finish it yourself or with just two people.
6)Yes, but only if the host remains, if the host leaves the session ends.
7)It's a parallel campaign divided into chapters, just like the single player. The story and quests are similar to Sacred 2 where they don't really add much to the experience, they're just there to make you go out and beat the crap outta stuff.

It's a hack n' slash just like Sacred 2, which means that it's a ton of fun and addictive as hell.

1. Does it use the character (skills, experience, inventory) progression from the single player or is it a separate save/character?

Seperate characters.

2. Is it possible to trade items/weapons/armor with friends online?

Yep

3. Just to make sure: It has voice chat, right?

If you're talking console then yea, PC no.

4. Is it like Sacred 2 where you can be on one end of the map and your friend in another, or are all members of the party confined to the same area?

Each adventure is a enclosed instance. Players are free to wander where they want, but they aren't super sprawling or anything. It's nothing like Sacred 2 where they could be like 200 miles away.

5. Somebody mentioned above that the co-op mode can't be finished with only a party of two. Does it have to be a full party of seven for the end game?

I imagine it depends on your level and quality of gear, but the later instances are definitely tuned towards larger groups.

6. Is it drop-in/drop-out?

Don't believe so.

7. To be clear: is it like a parallel campaign, or is it more like a series of missions? I mean, does it have a cohesive story, or is it more like an Uncharted 2 co-op/MW2 Spec-ops where you just choose a mission and complete it?

They all tie together with a simple narrative. Don't expect anything deep though.

Sinatar and maxxpower, you guys are awesome to the maxx. Thanks a bunch. I'll be getting this soon to play with a friend (ordering two two worlds two copies!) and will post impressions.

Thanks again!

I am making so much money playing drums. This is ridiculous.

 

[Timber]

Buying a house may have been a mistake.

 

[Timber]

The people have grown weary of my drumming. I'm trying to reinvent myself by becoming a flutist but this has yielded disastrous results so far.

 

[Timber]

If you're going to make a rhythm minigame where the notes are assigned to the shoulder triggers and bumpers then please have the courtesy not to allign them horizontically on the screen. This is a mess.

 

[Joe Molotov]

And that was the famous drumming monologue from Hamlet, ladies and gentlemen. Give him a hand.

Gotta be brave to enter a cave.

Just do drums. Easiest instrument.

 

[Timber]

I'm taking my drumming show on the road but so far Varn have responded with nothing but murderous bloodlust. It goes so heavily with their disposition.

Just do drums. Easiest instrument.

Yeah drums and the other instruments are like night and day. I'm making a killing just pushing the triggers like a jolly imbecile right now. Then I try the violin and it's a relentless stream of oooohmyygoood. Most I've ever gotten out of it was 5 bucks.

I love this freaking game. Although I have slowed down a lot (I'm just starting chapter 3) it's still crazy fun when I do find the time to play. this is actually the first game that I've had success being an archer on... maybe because of the lock on haha

Wow, this game sounds great - I may have to give it a a shot!

Just picked up the game and and got up to level 4. I was wondering if anyone had tips for building a mage? So far I have put all my attribute points into endurance and willpower and have been saving my skill points. Do I need to spend points in accuracy? Are any of the crafting skills worth it? Some general character building tips would be appreciated.

Just FYI, you can always respec your character somewhat early in the game, so don't be afraid to experiment.

I bought this game from Steam and and I'm wondering, did I get any kind of manual when I downloaded the game? It would be nice to have a reference so I can learn the ins and outs of assigning hotkeys, switching weapons, etc. I looked in the Two Worlds II folders that were created but I don't see a manual.

Go to the game page on steam and on the right you have the link to the manual.

No problem. I knew it because when I bought Mount&Blade some time ago I needed to read the manual so I did a google search and one of the first results was... the game's steam page! hehehehe

Gamefly just sent this game to me for the 360 and I can't seem to figure out how to start a multiplayer campaign game. When I go to the xbox live menu and try to start a match from there I only get the options for deathmatch and village. Anyone know how I can start a campaign instead? I wanted to play around with the pre-made classes in multiplayer before playing the single player campaign so I have a better idea what class I best suits my play style.

Edit - Never mind, finally figured it out. I started the single play campaign then when I went back to create a match I now see an option for Adventure mode and was able to play that. So either I completely missed it last night when I was looking or you have to start the single player campaign first for that option to show up.

Was coming to bump this.

It's 300 pages / 2lbs of raw Euro goodness. Easily worth a fiver. Get in on this. They are currently at a little more than half way.

 

[Unregistered007]

is the game any good on 360, I played it for an hour and the graphics were a mess, not to mention that input and animation delay.

Well, I was enjoying this game up until the first horse race. Rambling around on the horse had been fun up to this point, but now that I have to ride with speed and precision, the controls have become a total clusterfuck. For starters, as the race begins I run up to the horse, and the icon to mount him will appear/disappear/appear/disappear just as I hit the space bar, leaving my character jumping and prancing around the horse like a ninny, meanwhile ten valuable seconds have elapsed off the clock. I've had to stop and reload many times before I even get on the fucking horse. Then, any attempts at making tight turns with the A and D keys send him whipping wildly to the left and right. Sometimes he gets into oscillations where he will only move 180 degrees to the left or right, so he's always pointed perpendicular to the trail and I can't get him pointed straight again.

Anybody got any tips for how to control this goddamn horse?

 

[epmode]

So I finally have a video card that will let me play this at max detail with a good framerate. I'm enjoying it but every 5-10 minutes, the screen will go entirely black and I have to kill the process via the task manager.

I think it only happens in the DX10 build but I want to avoid having to use DX9.

Has anyone figured this out?

 

[Lucky Forward]

Well, so far I've figured out that in order to mount, I need to run up to the horse, stand perfectly still in order for the mount icon to appear, and only then can I hit space bar. I still find that control with the A and D keys is wildly inconsistent--some times when I tap the keys I get no response, some times I get fine increments of course change, and then some times tapping A and D sends him careening wildly left and right, and it takes me long enough to straighten him out that I know I don't have a shot at winning the race. So far I've put three or four fist-sized dents in the top of my computer table.

edit: Okay, I finally won that stupid race, after I figured out that I could pause and save mid-race after I had run a good stretch of it successfully. And now the game is fun again.

 

[voltron]

Does anyone know where in the sweet jesus fuck I can find a PAL version of this game?

I actually had it ordered and paid for from Play Asia a few weeks ago (the Asian version that was region free), and then at the last minute I get an email saying its out of stock and my money refunded.

Its fucking impossible to find for some reason. Where was it developed? Germany? Isnt Germany a PAL region itself anyway?

 

[Grinchy]

So, is this really like 2(worlds) x 3 = 6 worlds? Or is it more 2(worlds)x 2(worlds)x 2(worlds) = 8 worlds?

This post successfully made the word "world" look really strange to me, as if it were spelled incorrectly or something.

On the off chance that you're talking about a PC version and you don't already know, you can use this thread to have someone from another region gift it into your Steam account.

Wish I had checked this thread sooner. Decided to get the game today. Though went with the PC versions from D2D. I might have considered the console version at that price. Oh well. Downloading now but won't get into the game till tomorrow.

 

[Effect]

Been playing for a few hours and I have to say this is really enjoyable. More so then I imagined. Not only does it look great but touches like actually having towns and cities populated with people wandering around during the day and disappear at night go a long way for me. Don't even mind that they are all copies of themselves. Just that there are actual NPCs and a decent amount of them is something I enjoy.

Instead of pushing on with the main story I've been exploring the Savannah part of the island and I have to wonder about something. The various Varn creatures (I think they're called that) around. Does clearing them out have any change on the story or how people see you if they aren't quest related? Or are they just something you can occuply your time with if you don't want to push on with the story?

Also the game doesn't level scale the way Oblivion and Fallout 3/New Vegas do right? I just keep getting stronger and stronger while enemies stay the same? Is there a certain level cap your character can reach?

Thanks.

 

[Trumpets]

I'm thinking of getting this to tee me up for Skyrim. Which is the best console version? Are there any differences graphically?

 

[Badgerst3]

Finally finished it yesterday.

It starts strong and slows by the end. I liked the console commands, you have to turn off camera move to not get sick.

I don't think the varn are quest related. By chapter 3 I was returned to farm their hearts for health potions.

Loved the weapon and armor crafting. This was a fun warmup for skyrim. I though the 360 graphics, in some areas were quite good.

I ended level 41 and did about 85% of all the quests.

 

[Thagomizer]

Just bought the game, going in completely cherry- I know literally NOTHING about Two Worlds except that the first was hilariously buggy and the second is much better.


So, is there any non-spoiler advice you guys can give regarding obvious early game mistakes, crap classes, and so on?

PS I'm on 360

[Thagomizer]

Just started the game on the 360- hooollyyy crap, there is a shitload of tearing. Constant.

Also, I have no idea what's going on.

Don't do the Runestone quest or the Archpriest Tomb quest unless you're a masochist.

Spoiler

I did them both.

Hahaha the voice acting is horrible. Everyone is either incredible hammy or else sounds like they are just reading from the script.
