I have been playing it for a week and I am enjoying it. The camera angle takes a little getting used to.

As I am new to the Sacred franchise, there is a lot to learn about the RPG mechanics but there are many quests to complete and a pretty decent main quest.

There are 6 types of characters to choose from to play with some of the characters allowing a 'light' and a 'dark' quest to play so plenty of replayability.

Lots of humour throughout the game which is great.
 
Hey fivelza have u tried out Lan yet with this one?
Since u did not play the first one I can't ask u to compare.

But how is the lag on this one when playing Lan? Like characters seems to be tracking wrong and spells are late and so on...
The dark, light was in the first one as well.
 
From what I have read its your typical hack and slash rpg. I will wait for the bargain bin for this one.

Sorry, haven't had time to LAN yet, check my previous post for the link to the official forums, there may be more relevant info there.

Compared to v1, looks much better. Play wise and such, can't really remeber. I played sacred1 to long ago.

LAN play works just fine, and this game is soo much better when you play with a few friends :D

Multiplayer over the internet sux. There is something seriously wrong with the sacred2 servers. You can easily wait 5 to 10+ minutes to just connect to the lobby and then when you try make a game it comes back with all kinds of error messages, once even that my password was wrong even though I was allready logged into the lobby. When you do finally got a game strated (when your hosting) the server will crash after a few minutes of play. So, bascially, don't bother with multiplayer over the internet.

So how did I enjoy a few hours of multiplayer last night? Hamachi to tha rescue. Like I said, don't bother creating a game through the official servers, just start a hamachi network and create a normal LAN multiplayer session with your friends. It works perfect.
 
I got the game haven't try it yet, I got 2 projects to do and am scared if I install sacred 2 am not going to do my projects lol.
 
Got it to.... problem is I installed my new processor.... and my machine powers up, then turns itself off..... I feel like crying.... but I wont.... whom I kidding.... :(

:D
 
Had a suprising bit of fun with this on Saturday. Tried the temple guardian for a short bit, and the mage. Currently playing the dryad.

She's basically your ranger/ranged class. Arrows are standard fare. Also can fight with 'ninja stars' which aren't so impressive, and blowpipes which are awesome :) Instant hit, and not obstructed by terrain it seems.

Map area seems HUGE, but I'm only up to level 15 by now. Some attributes seem confusing, and it lacks some of the interface polish in some other titles. Comparing your kit with potential kit is a bit confusing, and requires a bit of manual labour. What exactly your skill customizations do isn't always clear either.

The weapon damage combo's are also slightly confusing. You can have a blowpipe with physical and poison damage, and add in a rune that converts 35% physical damage into magical. Fro some reason you then lose the poison damage from the item :/ Yet there's several weapons with multiple damage types.
 
Thanks Xyber

Yeah looks interesting but don't play it on the internet too much lag... looking forward to lan then.
@ pyro sounds like its really unbalance,
Are there still horses in the game since the Maps seems Huge?
 
Played the game at a friends house. Feels like a twist between Titan Quest and Diablo. Some really odd humor in this game as well.
 
Hmmm i think i want it but not sure.Loving Titan Quest at the moment :)
 
The blowpipe does have lower damage than the bows, but in bronze mode this isn't of concern, as most things I've encountered takes only 2-3 shots to die. The champions could take 10 or more.

I've started a game in silver with the undead warrior, and for him it's more like 8 shots (at level 1-2), to kill a normal enemy. For that you'd need the damage from a proper bow.
 
Finally got to play it a little. Started as the undead warrior as well. If you've played the first sacred, you'll fit right in. Most things are handled similar to the first game. There are improvements (obvious being gfx) but also a little more depth has been added to customisation.

Enjoying it overall.
