It would help if I could read any of the fucking instructions and descriptions in the corner that are being cut off by overscan. I have no clue what the hell I'm doing because everything is cut off. This seriously sucks.

THe magic system has kind of a steep learning curve, but now that I actually know how to use it and am not just throwing random cards down, it is GLORIOUS. Stacking a summon onto a split missile and summoning an instant wolf pack is amazing.

whats a split missile? two missile cards?
sounds amazing!
This game has started to annoy me in the same way I became annoyed with Divinity 2. I started off really enjoying that as well. There is just to much fighting. However unlike Divinity 2 the point of view I'm in makes it more frustrating. Then there is the situation of not being able to properly judge how strong enemies are. Though at least in Two Worlds 2 I haven't been put in a situation where I have to protect someone and they can't be hit but there is no way of stopping which causes a timer to be restarted no matter what even if you drop the difficulty all way the down. Ugh.
Outside of that I don't have any other issues with the game. Same when it came to Divinity 2. I like them both outside of them having to much fighting that at times simply can be completely unfair.Might go back to later. Maybe even if I can find some god mode or something just so I can see the rest of the story or pass certain parts.

On the right of the screen where you put there main cards, there is a modifier that can split missile spells into 3+ separate bolts. If you put that modifier on and stack a summon onto a regular missile, you'll fire three or more magic missles that do damage and spawn a pet on impact. If you do it right, you can instantly surround an enemy mob with summons. I beat the first boss by pretty much just spamming this attack; I tried going Fighter and Archer, because that felt a little cheap and unsatisfying, but he kept charging and two shotting me so I just went Mage and dropped a squad of rock golems on his ass.

I am just getting to this game, I really love it. My character is a mage I have a question.
I am Level 18 and I have not found the Earth Mastery or Necro Mastery skill books yet. Can you find all the books or do you have to buy some, was I supposed to buy these books.
To be honest I dumped all my skill points into Fire and Water and I guess because they are opposites or whatever I seem to be fine against all enemies.

Don't worry, you'll find some eventually. A general rule of thumb in this game is if you can't find something, you'll be swimming in it 10 levels later.
I used to constantly scrounge for Fire cards, and now at level 27 I literally have 40 of the bastards, counting the three subdivisions.
Air is also the most fun school, in my opinion, mostly for anvil tornadoes. Sure, it's not particularly useful, restricts your movement, and makes the 360 chug like a mofo, but it's so darn cool.

20$ to go before it's worth it.
GAF - I am itching to play a decent RPG until Skyrim. I've sunk countless hours into Oblivion, Morrowind, etc etc. I need something to play. Is this worth the ~$30 it costs? I've read reviews and user comments. Seems really hit or miss. I don't mind clunky controls if the game is just fun and open. Also I hear I can SAIL? :O Also, I'd probably be playing some sort of Ranger/Ranged Assassin-ish type class.
Buy or no buy?

Go for Divinty II first, but TWII is pretty good. If the main island was open and explorable it would have been one of my favorites. I finished it in about 35 hours with a bunch of guild quests left unfinished so there is about 40 hrs of gameplay there. Its a good game, not perfect and kinda glitchy, but fun.

The press is rarely kind to this kind of game, and well, TWII is worse than both.
It's definitely worth $30.birdcity said:
The plot is about as cookie-cutter as you can get, but the large game-world and freedom of exploration more than make up for the lackluster story. Nice variety of enemies and wildlife to encounter on your travels. Lots of quests (both guild and random) to discover along the way. Magic system is unique and interesting, with the capacity to combine some amazing spell effects with a little creativity.
Graphics are absolutely godly on a capable PC, and even looks great on 360 (if you disable fog and motion blur with the console commands.
Overall, it's the most enjoyable Euro-RPG I've played since the Witcher, and certainly a cut above similar offerings like Risen and Gothic 4.
Compared to what? Oblivion? After the tutorial island, you can explore several continents. I created a few water walking potions and ran from Erimos to many different islands. As the main quest progresses, additional land-masses open up for you.

So I picked this up on impulse at Gamestop since it was like $27, and I have to say I'm quite enjoying it. It looks decent enough, and I really like the way they do progression in this game. There are enough dangerous places that you feel like you have something to work towards, and it's really rewarding once you get strong enough to go to those places.
Alchemy's interesting, the armor/weapon upgrade system is fairly neat (if overly linear for now), and magic looks neat but magic seems pretty hard to use at first due to not being able to get a cast off.
I'm only about 5 hours in, doing some side quests and such, but even if it goes to shit in the next few hours I still feel like I got my money's worth out of the game. Only thing that really bugs me about it thus far is the lack of skillbooks (and how much they cost when you find them).

Went to the store and ended up buying this instead of Risen. I'm about ~3 hours in and I have to say, I'm enjoying it. Graphically, the game is pretty impressive. I've encountered numerous little bugs so far that have made me chuckle (horse got its front half stuck in a rock :lol ), but it hasn't been anything that is making me angry. I've come into this game with expectations set pretty low, so I think that helps.
Voice acting is hilariously bad, but you can say the same about Oblivion. I just put subtitles on and read instead of listen, and just skip through most of the dialog. Controls are a bit wonky. I don't like that they use the left trigger for block, sneak, AND sprint. I always end up sprinting when I want to block. Seems like you have to let go of a button and re-press it for it to work sometimes. The only other thing that really bothers me, so far, is picking up loot off of corpses. I wish I could select what I want instead of automatically taking everything and then having to drop/break it down afterwards. But, overall, I think I'm going to be satisfied. I like how the game has specific class skills for assassins, thiefs, mages, etc. I'm currently working on being some sort of ranger/thief and am enjoying myself.
I will say one thing, the horse riding is awful!!!! I will be huffing it on foot.

Just killed a Vard or whatever and when he his body hit the ground it shot up into the sky so high it disappeared. I laughed and was looting some corpses when all the sudden that body fell back down to the ground and landed right in front of me. This was like ~2 minutes later. :lol
So what's this Two Worlds tower defense thing on Steam?
It just randomly showed up and I was like, "wait.. what?"

Looks like an iOS game they went ahead and released on the PC too.
Picked this game up yesterday without having ever touched the first one and I'm fighting what seems to be a impossible battle -- the battle to enjoy this game.
From the horrid controls to the horrendous voice-acting, I'm finding it hard to push on..
Playing on 360 and nearing 3 hours of gameplay.

The final boss of this game is a fucking nightmare.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I just die so goddamn fast.
Edit: disregard, I just beat it
Edit: holy shit at the song that plays over the credits :lol

I liked Two Worlds , but my memory of the game is a little faded.
I hate Two Worlds 2, after the first five minutes the game went to complete crap story/mission wise and managed to get worse when you went to Athlos. 11 hours in and once again i find myself continuing to play a turd for the sake of "finishing" games i start.

I've played this for 39Hrs from what steam says.
I'm level 28 and just arrived on new Island of New Ashos.
I'm feeling like the game should be ending soon but have no idea how much more of the game is left.If I zoom out really far on map it looks like I've only explored about 30% of the game. As gorgeous as the world is I don't think I can last 90hrs in this game. the quests are just too generic.
Anyone know how far along the main quest line I am after finishing tower on first big island?

I think you're like halfway through (the first chapter is the longest), but I have no idea how you spent 39 hours. I beat the game in less than that.

Pretty sure most settings can only be adjusted from main menu screen before you load a saved game as well theres more pages if you keep pushing down its not visually obvious that there are more settingspanda21 said:
I'm having a bit of trouble with one of the main quests, and I was wondering if anyone here knew how to fix my problem,
Help please??
I'm in Tir Geal, trying to get the village chronicle from out of the inn, but every time I try to lock pick the door, the drunk guy in the inn stands up and it looks like he's supposed to be talking, but there's no sound, and it stops me from unlocking the door. No matter what I do.
I've also given Nalia her spell and the aniseed she needs, but no new quests have come up from that.. so now the only quest I have to do is The Chronicle, which like is said, isn't working..
Help please??

I'll wait for some reviews before I shell out 30 bones. For that price, it had better have a lot of new content. "12+ hours of main quests" is kinda making me nervous, because that probably means it's more like 6 hours.

Well I ended up buying it. Seems pretty cool so far, and seems like there's a big focus on story. There's a hell of a lot of cutscenes and dialog.
My only gripe so far is that the overall sound is super quiet. Everything's at max but I still have to crank the speakers way up just to get normal levels. Hate it when that happens.
Anyway, sailing is back. It's just so awesome catching the wind on the ocean and discover new islands. I could play a whole game like that.

Any news as to when the PAL 360 version is out? I checked Zavvi, Amazon UK and dvd.co.uk and no one had anything on it
