Too much stuff annoyed me about Two Worlds when I tried it. Voice acting, weird day-and-night cycle, inability to wait or rest, resurrection shrines and mana shrines every few steps, weird design decisions such as virtual absence of female NPCs, etcetera. Some of the quests were good, itemization was nice, but all in all it gave an impression of being a sort of random collection of fantasy clichés without plan or coherence. For all its numerous flaws, Oblivion held my attention for much longer.

Although there are a lot of "so bad it's good" movies, it's hard to find a similar experience with games, as bad games tend to also be completely unplayable.

Two Worlds is the exception as it's a breeze to play, and the exploration and loot can be fun... but YE GODS the voice acting and dialog are so entertainingly bad that it pushes the game from a mediocre open world ARPG to something unforgettable.

IIRC nighttime duration was really weird in comparison to daytime duration, with night only lasting a few minutes or so. Then again, Two Worlds had this thing about the ghosts of everything you killed haunting during the night, which was pretty neat.

The sand desert area with dunes, scorching sun and everything in TW1 is situated on a plateau with lush green fields down below. I uninstalled this shit the moment I saw it. Clearly no thought has been given into the environments, anyone who compares this to G3 must be insane.
