Two Worlds II Antaloor Post #15

A fifteenth Two Worlds II Antaloor Post newsletter is now available, with this latest entry covering the game's reputation system, the desert city of Cheznaddar, and more. From the usual Q&A:
[dredd] Are there any more interactions between the game character and the different NPCs, something like a love affair, maybe?

RP: You hit the nail on the head, dredd! The hero will be linked more and more to the emotional worlds of the Antaloor residents - love stories included. I use the plural - stories - intentionally here, by the way. In the bigger cities, the player can start a little love adventure of his own if he wants to. Of course platonic friendships with certain NPCs are also possible - and in return for his friendship these nice guys will actively help the hero to solve various problems in the world of Antaloor.

[zonaren7] Will it be possible to (stack) weapons and armament items like we could in (Two worlds I)?

RP:We've retained the principle of weapon and armor upgrades, zonaren7 - and we've even expanded the system. Thanks to CRAFT, every player can now break down his weapons and armored items into specific basic elements like fabrics, woods and metals. And he can use these basic elements to upgrade the weapons of his choice. However, this procedure gets more expensive each time you use it, and the effects become weaker... but we can guarantee you vastly improved balancing this time around.
