[ALL] Two Worlds 2

[manchild24]

Ive only gotten to play this about 2.5 hours now because I had long weekend working with the business and super bowl sunday and all. Im so hooked on this I cant wait to play each night. Im still learning as I go on, like Im carring to many items and shit and learning to switch over between my different weapons Im carrying.

But this game is great, Im not even noticing the little things that some of you guys pointed out. Will take me a little longer cause I usually dont get on much during the week maybe an hour or two at night but it is well worth it. Thanks for recommending it.

i love the 3 different weapon types you can set. i have dpad left set as a tank, dpad up set as a mage and dpad right set as an archer. I have also used the soul patcher to redistribute my points and am just pumping my points into mage now. Also having to buy alot of items for my mage rather than being able to find it in loot. Alot of the loot i am finding is for tanks and archers.

 

[Maynard]

today i will make my guy become invisible and then walk on water...hehe

 

[killgod]

still on the fence on this one, your comments certainly push me to the buying side though....and i do have to stop by gamestop tomorrow....

 

[Maynard]

its a tough game to buy since 1 was so bad and even the pc version having issues pre patch. Everything i read says the 360 version is superior to the ps3.

i still have not touched the main quest. I am right at the start of chapter 1 of the main quest. I have been doing side quests. These quests are really quite good. There is actually something to do in these rather than something dumb like buy a bottle of wine for joe boo in the dr's lab.

Dont get me wrong they have delivery type quests. But its a bit more in depth. Like i had to go kill beavers to render fat. Take the fat to an oven in the mage guild, make black candles that heal, then take the candles to an infirmary

one i did last night was cool. I had to goto this alchemists house cause his potion went array and he mutated some fish into these evil creatures. So i had to locate the house, go in and clear it out. it was full of these creatures and a ton of loot.

i have not done a side quest that didnt take at least 20-30 mins. (minus the starter tutorial types)

coop was of interest. It much different than the SP mode. i played 1 of the 7 chapters. There is more of a path you follow to complete the chapter. I also dont know how 8 people could co-exsist on this chapter. maybe it has more bad guys with more players. But if not, i could see the chapter being flown thru very fast. i got thru it in about 1.5 hrs by myself. it would have to have more creatures with more than 1 player

Then Im REALLY WET BEHIND the ears because Im still trying to find the 5th piece of steel and hit the shipwreck up.

I gotta figure out how to take apart my weapons, I really dont understand that screen when it comes up .

no idea about the shipwreck thing.

taking apart weapons is simple. bring up the inventory screen and RT/LT to your weapons. highlight a weapon and push Y for crafting. in there you click the option to break it down.

another easy way is instead of clicking Y to craft. you hold LB and Y and it automatically will break it down...u still get the option to confirm either way

as a mage, i dont need the resources from breaking down a weapon because i am not crafting any weapons. I would rather sell it for coin. I only focus on breaking down staffs and other mage related loot because those resources can be used to upgrade my mage items.

 

[manchild24]

I got confused when another screen popped up and I think it asked me to place things in certain places. . Ill do the LB and Y


The Shipwreck is very very early in the game Im suppose to find the Teleport and as I was walking around the place under the Prophet I went into a room and the Orc that taught me Bow/Arrow, asked me to go and pick up scraps and report back anything I find.

oh, yeah thats a tutorial quest on the starter island. i dont remember it though. i might not have picked it up. I did complete a quest for the masonry orc and need to head back to that island. I want to explore it more too

that screen that popped up is the crafting screen. The middle left option is for upgrading, but you have to have some attributes leveled up high enough to upgrade it. the middle right option is for breaking down the item. The top option is for adding crystals to improve the item....but you need crystals. The option on the bottom is to change the color...but u gotta have paint to use this

 

[Maynard]

im fucking invisible.

i got some kick ass spells now. i can create light which is huge for dungeons so i can see. i have a torch, but u cant hold the torch while fighting. i can walk on water. I have an open lock spell...although i love lockpicking in this game. I can summon 6 different creatures to battle with me. 2 at a time, I use the psyche card to summon a stinger. i dont know how to describe this thing but it sure looks evil. I also have a health spell and my fire, ice or shock bolt...plus the force spell which acts like a shotgun blast

:smughard:

 

[manchild24]

Thats it Im playing this all night once I put my son to bed.

 

[Maynard]

i found that shipwreck u mentioned. i went back to the 1st island (starting tutorial island) to beat some ass and return a stone to the blacksmith. I stumbled upon the ship in my exploration. I couldnt do anything cause i did not open the quest yet.

I cleared out that entire island last night. Took about 4 hours of gametime. those groms were getting their asses kicked. I got my summon spell where i can summon a giant psyche creature, and then 3 little creatures. they are not the best teammates in the world, but they take all the heat while i sit back and blast fools. You would think playing as a mage that you wouldnt be able to melee very well. However, my staff is a valuable weapon when some gets up close. I have the bare minimum points into weapon skills. But I can still use the basic fighting moves

i about to head down under the prophet again to talk to the blacksmith and see if i can find any side quests. There are also a few caves on the island i need to check out

 

[manchild24]

I need to go back and drop shit off in my room in that chest. I cant pick up anything else to carry unless I just leave it there. DO I really need to carry 4 sets of arrows

 

[Maynard]

thats the kind of thiing u might want to break down. u can only carry so much and until you find a vendor you either break it down or leave it on the ground. even if u break it down it will provide some resell value in metal, wood or whatever resource.

if your a mage dont sell staffs. break them down for its 'essence'...u need these essences to level up your staffs

once you finish the main quest (tutorial) on that little island u will be placed in in Bayan. there are vendors there and u can start selling stuff.

there are some choice items i dont sell or break down. but i have found that a game this size has so many different enemies to fight that u wont be hurting for loot....so if you break down those arrows now, u wont have trouble finding them later. As a mage, i sell anything that isnt mage related.

i notice that as i level up the melee combat gets alot better. you can do alot more moves. its alot of fun and makes me want to play as a warrior

 

[manchild24]

cool thanks all I can do is Block and B right now. Im actually carrying a sword in each hand which I think is cool when I melee. But I'll break shit down

 

[Maynard]

yeah u gotta start playing. your still learning moves. B is the break defense move. You should be able to use A and RT though.

check this pic out. a bit of levitation spell going on there...i love the dudes staff

 

 

[killgod]

surprised you're doing well with a mage, all the reviews stated it was your typical fantasy RPG where mages fucking suck.

 

[Maynard]

i have read that too. it made me reluctant to be a mage but so far its going pretty well. my guy is getting powerful now and i am not really struggling to much. some guys still take 10 hits to die but having the summoning power takes the load off of me.

Even if someone rushes me i can still fight like a warrior by using my staff as a weapon. Even with my strength at 5 i am still able to dishout alot of force with my hits. I wonder if its like the arcane warrior class in DA where your willpower acted as your strength. Maybe in this game your willpower applies to your hits when using the staff

 

[killgod]

I caved.

Multiplayer tonight?

 

[TeflonDonny]

Man thanks to Maynard I went ahead and got this for the PS3. The controls take some getting used to but it seems solid so far.

My suggestion to anyone who picks this up is not not stray too far before leveling up. I just got raped by a rhino, 2 warthogs, and an ostrich.
