I have never played a more sexist game.

TW2's is a man's world. There are very few women. But those that are there, whew.
Of those few women there are, they always fall into one or more of these stereotypes:

- A victim (hero's sister, niece Annette )
- A manipulator (the dragon queen)
- Wearing unpractical boob armor or a very short skirt (the dragon queen, Reesa)
- A liar (Reesa, the first major woman you meet after 6 hours in the game)
- Payment with sex (again, (Reesa), after you help her)
- An undecisive/cowardly woman (the side quest Love's Labour Lost )
- A sick woman (the side quest Sick Auntie )
- A cheater (Sol Pan )
- A whore/dancer for money (side quest Stag Night )

Now if you use it sparingly, I can see these stereotypes as spice. Some people do fall in these stereotypes, that's why they exist in the first place. But the problem of Two Worlds 2 is that all women in the game fall into these stereotypes! There is no woman standing out!

Two Worlds 2 is a sexist piece of junk.

I was going to respond to this, but to be honest I really cannot be bothered.

Which of these categories does the village-leader woman in the first village belong to?

Nudist, after you apply the nude patch! ;-P

So... you think it's sexist and a piece of junk, but did you enjoy it?

I have not played Two Worlds 2 yet, only an hour or so. I have played the first Two Worlds, and I didn't see anything sexist at all in that one.

A few things about your list:

I'm not allowed to get sick? Since when can't I get sick? That one makes no sense.

The guy you control is a victim too. Unless you mean damsel in distress? Why my friend, there are a lot of dasmels in distress in the real world. Don't you realize how many women are hurt everyday, physically and emotionally?

Ever see barbarian type stuff? All the men and women are dressed in boob armour. The men wear just as little as the women. If you look at those olde religious paintings even, they're completely naked!

Men in the Czech Republic think only women lie?

Men in the Czech Republic think women are cowardly?

Women are seen as cheaters in the Czech Republic?

I do not know if I want to visit the Czech Republic if I would be seen as this!

I am tired of sexism myself, I sometimes wonder if people even care for others with the comments they make or the things they do. With that said, as a strong woman that hates sexism, I'm not too sure about your list, some of it doesn't seem to fit. Really now, a sick woman is sexism?

Yeah, these games really do lack female characters with any good qualities. For some reason it seem to be true for a lot of European fantasy games. I wonder if it's because most of these games are made by small studios that still consist of young nerd dudes who never got over the fact they can't get girls.

Two Worlds 2 is as if someone took all the possible fantasy and RPG clichés, compressed them, and threw a bunch of his own ideas on top of that. Just stop taking the game seriously, unless writers and designers were completely thick, I bet they've had quite a few laughs making this game. I certainly stopped taking it seriously after meeting the prophet with her massive cleavage and nipples modeled trough her clothes. Ever since that bit, I just laughed off every bit of chliché in the game, and it suddenly got much more enjoyable :D Awww, it's pretty nice in here, we have good beer and some nice architecture. ... ... Waait a minute, you weren't going to visit Czech Republic anyway you cowardly, cheating, lying woman! (imagine I said that in the voice of Ferengi saying the word 'Human')

Some of these European games do make me wonder if they have been aiming at parody or if they really just have no taste or imagination to do something different. I fear it's the latter. -_-; This is an enjoyable series to be sure, but they really should get some professional writers and visual designers. If you leave that stuff to programmers who live in their mothers' basements, unintended comedy is all you're going to get.

If you don't like European rpgs then play some Japanese ones. Series like Final Fantasy are known for depicting realistic and practical clothing. <- THIS WAS SARCASM, I'm explaining because you clearly have problems with discerning some things.

Calling the authors "nerd dudes who never got over the fact they can't get girls" and implying the live in their mothers' basements just because you don't like the visual direction just says how limited you are.

Well, it looks like the "nerd dudes who never got over the fact they can't get girls" are doing it again. Shame on them! :)

Sacrilegium

I'm really hyped for this game:)

I added it to gog whish list (I know, it's a bit prematurely). :)

The example picture above is silly and tacky, no matter how wide you make the definition of "good taste". Or Final Fantasy, or most fantasy game aesthetics. It probably has something to do with the fact that gaming appears to be full of people with arrested development problems of some kind. It kinda says something that even considering how low the bar is, the Two Worlds visual design still manages to be remarkably unoriginal and nerdy. And that's just the way it looks. Let's not even talk about the quality of the writing.

Don't get me wrong, these are fun games to play... you just can't take them seriously in any way.

After playing both Two Worlds games I can't imagine how someone can even remotely consider that they were meant to be taken seriously. It is all about fun and you get plenty of it, especially in the second.

The visuals are actually diverse and beautiful not nerdy. Now, you wouldn't like to see in a game only ugly and wrinkled hags, would you? Besides, there is a lot more to see in Two Worlds games than the only hot female in the 1st one (which also happens to be the hero's sister) and a couple more in the second.

As about the writing, of course there is not much to the story but there are funny and clever dialogs and, if you like reading, a lot of hilarious notes, books and journals you can pick up and read in Two Worlds II.

Case closed! :)
