Two Worlds/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Accidental Innuendo: The evil force is called The Taint.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: Okay, the quality of the first game is arguable, but the entire soundtrack is unbelievably epic. The title theme alone is worth a few listens.
    • Opala is this troper's favorite song from this game.
  • Game Breaker: Remember how badly alchemy broke Oblivion? Now imagine if those stat boosts were permanent. It's possible to kill the final boss in two hits with a properly powered-up character.
  • Goddamned Bats: Cheetahs in the second game. They're not terribly strong, but they have an annoying habit of running away from you until they're out of range of your auto-targeting crosshair, then lying down in the tall grass so you can't see them. When you come near, they run up to you you, take a swipe at you, and repeat the whole process. They'll remain annoying even after you're powerful enough to instakill them by slapping them with the back of your hand.
  • Jerk Sue: The first game's protagonist is incredibly arrogant, but everyone responds to him with respect or praise rather than the irritation one would expect. And he never does get called out on causing the massacre of an entire city to further his own goals.
    • On the other hand, he does have his moments of doing some missions simply because he wants to and not because he's a greedy prick, and by the second game, he's FAR more likable, mostly by virtue of the fact most of the stuff he did in the first game came back to epically bite him in the ass.
  • Memetic Molester: Lucius Darx
  • Narm Charm: In the first game.
  • So Bad It's Good: Imagine if you will an impossibly buggy (as in, "often freezes up entirely when you die" buggy) third-person Oblivion ripoff with a hero who runs around like he's got a load in his pants. No jump animation. One attack animation, maybe two if you count that goofy figure-eight swing he does. Send him out into the woods to fight bears and wolves in his quest to save two worlds one world while spouting the worst one-liners ever and talking to peasants who mispronounce every other word. A lot of this has to do with the massive amounts of Narm Charm present in the game.
  • Surprisingly Improved Sequel: While not quite a GREAT game, Two Worlds II is a big improvement over the first one.
    • Unfortunately, even with the graphics settngs turned all the way down, the bloom and HDR effects can be quite overpowering on the eyes, and the motion blur, while it can be reduced, is not eliminated entirely, and this is important because it can also be rather overpowering.
