You can enjoy the game if you use its potential with very high re-playability.
Graphics are really good and do not try to be funny or go comic style.
The whole game is VO in several languages and no need for subtitles, this is amazing with the amount of script in the game. The hero a charming guy with exceptional manners towards women :P
The islands are pretty much open world, you could jump straight into action and kill everything on the map without doing any questing after the tutorial. The access to instanced quest areas are usually blocked until the quests are started.
You've got total freedom in the skill system, but cannot use every skill with every weapon. Melee, bows, traps, observing eyes, custom spells, you name it.
Alchemy, crafting and thievery are a big thing in TW2, but you can do without.
There is still more content I haven't even looked at yet, like multiplayer, village simulation etc.
All maps and the pirates addon can be merged into one large map with a mod and makes the world really huge.
If you are like me and want to be pushed into the right direction by quests but able to decide where and when you go, this is a game for you.
