Two Worlds II Preview

If you haven't gleaned enough information about Two Worlds II from the recent wave of hands-on previews, then there's another one for you to pore over at Eurogamer.
Two Worlds II is still, like the original, a classless system that allows you to shape your character as you wish, blending traditional roles a little. Hot-keys will allow you to build specific armour sets for your various needs, meaning that you can effectively switch classes in real-time, moving from equipment geared towards magic attacks to stuff that's better for melee or ranged combat as the situation calls for it.

Weapons and armour can be upgraded, but the original game's bizarre stacking system is out, replaced with a mechanic that allows you to break unwanted inventory clutter down into its core components, and then use that as resources for upgrading the items you want to really focus on. It has a pleasant semi-RTS feel to it, and if you enjoyed mining in Mass Effect 2 - some of you did, yeah? - you'll be right at home.
