I really enjoyed Oblivion and I can't wait for Two Worlds because of that.  But I'm wondering if I'm setting myself up for disappointment since Oblivion has some pretty big shoes to fill and some of the differences between the games has me a little worried (well one difference does, fighting, the rest looks good:

The Bad: 

Fighting - I really enjoyed how it was handled in Oblivion in that it really felt like you were controlling every part of the fight. In Two Worlds I've read that the player's character will use the shield automatically if equipped and that you don't control it.

Movement - Apparently moving your horse around is a lot different than in Oblivion and more similar to the warthog in Halo (which I didn't really care for).  I thought the movement system in Oblivion was perfect so why didn't they simply copy it?

The Good:

Decisions - Some of the decisions in the game have major effects on the outcome of things.  For example if you choose not to take on a quest to save a village it'll end up being destroyed, while in Oblivion if you don't take on a quest like that nothing really changes in the game.  The quest will always be there waiting for you and there's never a sense of urgency.

Quests - Apparently Two Worlds has at least as many if not more side quests than Oblivion which is nice for those that which to find all the interesting things developers added that aren't in the main quest.

Unknown:

Dungeons - I found them very repetitive in Oblivion but hopefully Two Worlds changes that.

Anyways if any Oblivion players are reading this I'm curious on what your expectations for Two Worlds are.

Interesting points you bring up. It seems this game is a much more linear affair compared to Oblivion.

Also, I really think people were jumping the gun calling this an Oblivion-killer (rememnber Killzone?), I mean if a game is going to be better than oblivion it's going to have to amazingly good cause that game is so good as a first person RPG.

The shield thing sounds kinda dumb, but minor. Having more quests doesn't necessarily mean more playability than oblivion because it could just be really linear moving from quest to quest, Oblivion's best part was that you completely chose what to do.

I gotta play more Oblivion, haven't in a while...

IMO, it was claimed as an Oblivion killer, but it's obviously not. If your expecting a GOTY RPG in TW, I think you'd be hugely disapointed.

However, I'm expecting a fun, not too intepth complementary RPG to Oblivion, that is inferior in most ways, but is still rather fun. And I think I'll get that.

The 8p multiplayer DOES, however sound very fun, and could easily make it grade A material.

I'm expecting review scores to hover around the low 80s. It was, however, reviewed in Germany and got near-Oblivion scores (I think a 9.2-9.3) because of the Multiplayer.

It seems like TW is going to hover over more of the Fable line of things, with hints of Oblivion. TW is supposed to be 100+hrs, and for that, I'm glad.

I am going to add this to my "must buy" pile of RPGs, as I think I'm buying everyone this year.

If I can get a few more GS points on M:UA, get/beat Shivering Isles, I'll be in the top 100 RPG gamers by GS in history :)

I got 1000/1000 on Phantasy Star, Enchanted Arms, and Oblivion, and a 580+ on M:UA.

The more RPGs on the 360, the better. I need more RPGs on this thing, they're all so far away: Eternal Sonata, Blue Dragon, Fable 2, Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect...

Meh. It is commonly believed that the first one sucks, but the sequel supposedly improved on multiple of the mechanics in the game, making the sequel a solid rpg. I will probably wait for the sequel to drop in price before I get it though.

Yeah why I am not surprised to see who's the necro? -.-

What? Is there something wrong with contributing positively to an interesting thread?

Isn't necroing a bannable offense?

I always thought it was.

You live dangerously.

Wait...Necroing a thread is a bannable offense?!?! Why don't they lock old threads if it is? That makes no sense...

I agree, lock or delete.
