Give it a chance and it'll win you over
I hadn't really heard of this game before, but I bought it on a whim after reading some of the reviews here. I was profoundly unimpressed for the first hour or so, but once I stopped worrying about the skill trees and figuring out the "right" things to do first, I really started to fall in love with how big and well fleshed-out this world is. The environments in this game deserve special praise because they actually feel like a real country, with terrain and architecture shifting gradually into strikingly different regions. The main quest is interesting enough as RPGs go, but the side quests impressed me more with how inventive a lot of them are, especially in the cities. The dialogue is actually really well written (or translated), and the voice acting is decent on average. The writing has a very nice, often subtle sense of humor, and you'll especially enjoy it if you don't mind a little casual misogyny here and there. (There are multiple side-quests that revolve around dealing with wives or female relatives who are just too bitchy for the male NPCs to deal with themselves, and some of the dialogue might as well have been taken from a Henny Youngman routine.) You will probably enjoy this game most if you are like me and really like collecting shiny new equipment. There's a huge array of genuinely unique-looking armor and weapons to be had in this game. I honestly enjoyed this way more than I did Oblivion, largely because I rarely found new items in Oblivion that were better than what I was already carrying. I also disliked that enemies leveled up with you in Oblivion. I play games for the adolescent power fantasies they let me play out, and I really enjoy the heck out of just wading through a pack of enemies that would have destroyed me a few hours before. You get that in Two Worlds (along with a lot of new, stronger enemies to work up to), and I appreciate it. Overall, this is a quality game with a lot of depth to it. It takes some time to get your bearings, but it is definitely worth the effort.
