After I read this, I felt immensely relieved that compared to that, I'm positively whitebread (which, for you foreign readers, is a slang term for "Bizarrely Normal"). And then, seeing these pictures and researching more about this game, I remember the time I got to play it as a rental at a friends place on 360.

I don't remember how, but we made our hero cross-eyed, and every time the camera looked at his face, his eyes were still crossed. It was magical and the memory makes me want to rob a bank so that I can get the money to buy it.

I'm going to throw left-handed. Is only way I can be satisfied. If I use my right... over too quickly.


This game gets stupendously easy and infinitely more fun once you figure out how to dodge. (I think it's the 'E' key?) Try it out sometime and between being untouchable and wielding 25 swords duct-taped together you'll be an unrelenting death machine. THAT'S when the game really starts to get fun.

This is completely true! Between dodging and duct-taping your swords and armor together, the protagonist quickly becomes rear end in a top hat-superman and loves every minute of it. The creators of this game either hit a perfect storm of hilarious incompetence, or they were subtle geniuses. Either way is good for me!

I'm totally following this. This game has infinite funny potential.

Yeah, dodging is great. What really broke the game open for me was finding a full set of Shadow-something Armor (set 534); wearing a complete armor set grants you a big defensive boost, and since it's endgame armor (maybe?) most enemies will barely scratch me, even in mobs. Oh yeah, and I'm a point away from max Alchemy.

Then I ran into a Cyclops who one-shotted me. Too slow on the dodge I guess!

By the way, Spangenhelm is German and would be a riveted plate helmet in English.

It's weird they they would include German words, especially when 'riveted' is used in the game anyway to describe some trousers. I guess the devs just went with what sounded the coolest? That notion fits with the way they wrote the dialogue, at least.

If anyone has archives and the time to delve through my Mirror's Edge thread, I did post a screenshot of 1.1's character creator. I was going to put it in the OP but it's not a very good representation of the game now. If you want a good impression of 1.1's character creation, just watch the intro again.

Black bears aren't invincible! As long as you jump back every time they attack, you can whittle away at one without even taking a hit.

But really, as previously stated in the thread, it doesn't take too long before you're completely overpowered and the rest of the game is a joke in regards to challenge. Even bears will eventually go down in one hit.

Yeah, the blacked-out skills need to first be unlocked (for a small fee) by trainers scattered throughout the game world. That might sound bad but there are multiple trainers for each skill and almost all of these NPCs can teach more than one skill. Trainers stick out like a sore thumb too, for example the trainer in Rovant (town SE of the starting town) is the only guy not dressed in Renn Faire peasent clothes. There was also a mercenary camp somewhere where everyone looked like a regular NPC except for two guys decked out in end-game armor. Yup, trainers.

Two Worlds is still the best game, and I'm glad to see you guys actually LPing it.

The difficulty curve is incredibly hosed though. You have trouble with everything in the beginning, but just keep taping stuff together and you'll be invincible.

the reason I like this game, aside from the funny item names, is because the world is huge and actually pretty varied. I spent my entire time playing just exploring everywhere and looking at cool stuff. I think I found maybe one quest and I didn't finish it because it made no sense

I dug this game until the Southernmost continent where every monster is a golem with freaking a million HP and can oneshot you

But I did get my 99 cents worth I suppose. That is what I paid for this game. Shipping was $3.50

by the way there is a skill for damaging opponants when they are on horseback
no enemies in the game ever ride a horse

I played ahead to try and plot a route through the game, and boy whatever route we plot it's gonna be long. I noticed there's an arc to the game, though. First everything kills you and you have to run away but to get stronger you have to whittle them down over the course of ten minutes. Eventually you level up and it gets easier. Then suddenly it becomes broken the other way and you're taking them all down with one or two hits.
The only challence comes from a dungeon with skeletons in it that kick your rear end because your weapon doesn't deal bludgeon damage, and they're fire skeletons so the only magic you levelled up can't hurt them.

EDIT: Forgot to mention there'll probably be an update tonight at some point, Organic Robot's the one playing. And putting some pants back on.

Except for the areas further south, that I assume are either endgame or for psychos who explored way too far. It was genuinely creepy, with the music being atmospheric, the enemies being actually pretty sick-looking, also the ROCK FORMATIONS THAT SUDDENLY MORPH INTO STONE DRAGONS AND SHOOT INSTAKILL FIREBALLS AT YOU...

Yeah, that's what all the people who talk about liking the game are really referring to, I think. It's campy as all hell but there are some genuinely cool parts. Some. If you can laugh at all the crazy poo poo and enjoy those odd good parts, it's an enjoyable experience, and one that people mostly got for less than

Also you can tape together 15 grom shields (that you're going to find a million of anyway) and have something better than anything you can buy for some fifteen hours of play.

As I said, exactly like Gothic (II, didn't play the first one). And Gothic II was pretty great. Had a more sensible interface though. And you could make town guards fight the murderbeasts for you, then killsteal them and level up like crazy . You SURELY can do something similar here.
