Bildi said:To be honest, any game where I narrowly avoided fatal flaws three times, and have had one quest line (Fighter's Guild) halted entirely because of a bug, is not what I would call polished. I realise Oblivion is huge, but it's rubbish that there are known bugs and Bethesda refuse to fix them (360 version). And yeah, I've put 200 hours into the game regardless :lol
Anyway, if Two Worlds can avoid the same level of game-killing bugs I'll be a happy camper. Thanks for the impressions
Is it more populated than Oblivion (which felt pretty dead even though it was the correct ratio of residents to buildings)?
As for bugs, so far the devs have gone out of their way to patch the game, even up to including a ton of fan-requested additions. I'm pretty confident that they'll keep that going after release, it seems they want to make people happy, which is good. I, too, put in over 200 hours into Oblivion despite it's flaws hah!
Population-wise it seems to be pretty good. Take Anvil in Oblivion for instance. You had some guards and the people in the shops would go to and from work, but really you didn't see that many people just wandering the streets, right? Well in 2W I visited the main capital city and you have the same thing, but it just seemed more crowded. Lots more guards, people walking around, even people sweeping out in front of their stores and such. It felt more alive than places in Oblivion to me.
That dragon-killing achievement is gonna be a tough one, at least judging from my limited experience with them. I decided the other day that I wanted to see the desert in the game, figuring (right, as it turned out) that it would be way, WAY above my level, but still I had to see. Getting there was half the fun. You see, in 2W the Orcs are invading, basically dividing the map in half. South of the cap city there is a river, with the Orcs occupying the south side. They've destroyed the main bridge so I swam across.
Once I was across a deep fog descended so I didn't get to see much of the Orc encampment that I stumbled through, running for my life, before finally getting murdered by an Ogre. Continuing onward, still shrouded in fog, I finally made it over near the desert, which is in the east once you cross the river. Heading up (the desert is on a plateau), the fog lifted and I got to see around me finally (see first pics below). Heading on up the hill, what should I come across but a Sand Dragon, basically blocking the way up into the desert. I couldn't resist, so I attacked. His fireball blasted into my chest and flung me back around 20 ft or so. You can see in one pic a little smoke left from his fireball.
I respawned further up in the desert and took some 360 panoramic shots, below.
