Is anyone tired of this game getting compared to "Oblivion"?

Hi. I put off buying this game for a year because every review I read...and I mean EVERY review...compared it to "Oblivion". I haven't gotten far in the game but other than the interface, I think it deserves to stand alone. I gave up on Oblivion because I didn't enjoy completing quests. I had more fun just looting caves and since Oblivion doesn't grant experience, completing quests is basically for gold, reputation, and maybe an item better than the one you already have. In Two Worlds, it's worth the hike completing a quest if you're just shy of gaining a level and being rewarded that level up sound upon completion. Isn't that the purpose of questing? I think the graphics in Two Worlds also feel less cartoonish than Oblivion. Oblivion did have gorgeous landscapes but the people, especially the elves, had a cartoonish look. I'm sure this topic has been addressed before but I hope other people who have put off buying this game thinking its an Oblivion clone will do otherwise. Thanks.

With respect, you're looking in the wrong end of the telescope. It's not that Two Worlds is being compared all the time to Oblivion; it's that the kiddie reviewers who bought into Bethsoft's smoooth PR campaign now compare Oblivion to every action RPG that appears. It does succeed in one respect, however: if you see it in a review, you know you can pretty much stop reading and look elsewhere for intelligent content.

Meh, have you read the container? (CD Case)

Even the creators compare the two

Of course they do. The reviewers didn't give it the highest ratings. So whom do you quote? The developers, comparing their own title to a certifiable hit. That doesn't prove anything, however, because it isn't relevant.

Well right off the bat, when I saw:
HUDREDS OF WEAPONS, HUNDREDS OF (this) AND (that) in their ads I was like 'lol ya RIGHT', but when they claimed this was 'the most epic RPG ever' that was the last straw. Lets see how far off the mark they are...and let me tell you they were far. REALLY far.
Seriously how can you NOT compare this to oblivion, and that's a compliment.
In fact the only thing this and Oblivion have in common is that there is tons of green between missions. And thats that. Im no Oblivion fanboi by a long shot but comparing this to it? Is like comparing the Mona Lisa to an Archie comic book. TW is really bad is what im getting at.

I got burned out on Oblivion, and actually find I like Two Worlds better.

I will admit though I have built a new system since my oblivion days and this ne rig is a gamers delight. I should try Oblivion now on all the new higher detail settings.
