  1. Just logged into the Sacred 2 page at Steam, when seeing this in discussions https://steamcommunity.com/app/225640/discussions/0/2252307485538379571/ And: https://twitter.com/THQNordic/status/1257666459112804353 Now, let's hope it won't take them too long to decide if the game will be remastered or getting a true sequel. Thorin :) PS: it looks as if it covers Sacred: Underworld too. Any moderator here feel free to move this topic to the right section. T :)

  2. Brain -> Tumor I have worked with a girl at one time who always had to "one up" you... so if you had a head ache, then she had a brain tumor, if you coughed, then she has pneumonia, if you stubbed your toe, she broke her foot, if you got a paper-cut, then she has a severed limb...

  4. Read an interesting study about dangerous languages. Dangerous languages as in how much virus spreading they produce with an uncovered face. For example the 'th' and 'st' in thunderstorm are master spreaders because they are produced with spit lips. In difference our local Hessian slang says 'Gewirrer' with the 'r' rolled back in the throat, much healthier - for other people not for untrained throats trying it. Save the world, get rid of your standard english, learn Hessian... ...or if not use the closest English equivalent: Texas slang.

  7. Yeah I love the battles! I was also sad when I found out there wouldn't be a turn based option which I had thought that they had said they were originally going to have. I think it was probably that when they said classic mode I assumed that meant the classic game as in turn based, but it turned out that classic mode was pretty lame. Basically in that mode even the character you are currently controlling will automatically fight and that way you can just focus on deciding what spells/items/abilities etc. you are going to have them all use as they are able. That was boring though and it is super easy to keep fighting and just glance at the ability gauges periodically to tell when you can do moves and the pull up that menu that slows it way down so you can safely make your choices. Also, FYI, Tifa is super fun to play as in battle so don't forget to swap control between characters and test out each ones play style to decide which you prefer to control. Have you started playing yet? What do you think? Another awesome old game (PS2) that was really cheap on the Playstation Store not long ago is Rogue Galaxy which has been enhanced, I am so excited to play that one again too! And if anyone wants to relive the original FF7 it has a digitally enhanced digital version on the Playstation Store for only $7.99 on sale right now, I also got that one!

  9. Hi everyone. I am new here and joined Darkmatters to get some help with an issue I've experienced on a new Seraphim toon. I've had Sacred 2 for almost a decade but only started playing a week ago due to being stuck at home... I don't know if this is because I don't have much knowledge of the game or because it's a bug. I have the bargaining skill on my Seraphim and in the beginning, I was able to get the discounted price from merchants. But yesterday, I could only get the full price at merchants even though I was showed "Seraphim price." I tried different merchants; tried restarting game; restarting the system; tried a new toon (level 2 with bargaining) and yet still, I can only pay full price at the merchant. Another issue I've experienced is eating runes. On my Seraphim toon, I ate about 5 runes for Battle Stance but the level did not go up. I would appreciate any help! Thanks!

  10. There's no one place where they're located, they're accumulated one by one and standardized in a lot of ways (size, orientation, saturation) to look cohesive. I guess I could just share the ones I've done so far and those could be used for the experiment. Will see about that later when I get home. I'm really more curious about the results more than I feel I really need more portraits.

  11. Ah, yes. I watched some of your videos back in the day. I guess you are the only cat owner on earth who never catched a claw. Strong bonds between you and your animals. Pleasant to watch.

  12. @Flix @gogoblender Yeah,the harder part is where could I collect all those artistic portraits. The only place I know is deviant art.(I'm by no means an artist.) If you could lead me to places with more of those headshots, I might as well train one from scratch. The only other option I have is to scrap from google or use bing's image api, though those images are often not of very high quality. Current generative nets aren't perfect, so you could expect some really funny generations, actually I roll my own architecture, so much of the flaws of stylegan2 or stargan2 could be avoided. I guess some portion of those generated images are actually useable, so Flix could use them in his MODs without concerns for 'copy left' infringement. They are more 'original' based on your own interpretation. There are some techniques to give image depth and make it look 3D, yet again, it's not like they always work so well, but I guess some pictures might look really good. There some one shot motion transfering tricks being used constantly in deepfakes, so we could animate the portrait a bit and make it smile or cry, blinking eyes and the alike. I'm not really sure how much time I could actually spend on this project, so no release date promise. Data cleaning is notoriously time consuming, but hey I think this is a cool initiative!!

  13. Wow! This could mean something Sacred this way cometh. I certainly hope that THQ Nordic looks closely at what made both Sacred and Sacred 2 a great success and put forth the care and effort that they do making many of their other games. We may have something wonderful to look forward to. Thank you for the good news, Thorin.

  14. 90 hours in, eh? Wow! I have something to look forward to! - It is sad that it isn't the full game/story, but I'm sure we have a lot of games (and life .... chores, errands, work... sigh. heh) to fill the gap. I was a bit concerned reading how the battles have changed. I was a little bit hesitant to hear that. But reading this gave me a bit of hope, in that I will not hate it.. Thank you! DarkWolfNine

  15. Hello Night.Wolfe! Thanks! I will take a look. Ahm, no. It has nothing to do with the forum, I am working on a GUI reskin for S1, which has grown quite large over the last months. As I said, I am busy with the logbook currently, and that is why I could use some more screenshots. The whole thing can be found here

  16. I've gotten to where I exclusively play Playstation games now, the most recent one being Outer Worlds which was tons of fun and I am very impatiently awaiting the release of FF7 Remake next month. No I don't document games anymore, I really only did Sacred because no one else was when I started Wolfe's Lair and since I wasn't working I had plenty of free time. Now you can get a professionally published guidebook for all the biggest games anyway. Plus I document soooo much at work already LOL. I am so amazed that anyone is still playing Sacred AND visiting my site no less. It is really astonishing!
