    On Demordrey (spoilers, maybe)

    in Sacred 2 General Discussion

    Posted

    Having just finished the Unholy Crusade arc, I was wondering, which of the two Demordrey's do you consider the better villain?

     

    Personally, I prefer Baron Demordrey (the Demordrey from Sacred 2 shall henceforth be known as Ancestor Demordrey, due to 2 being a prequel). Ancestor Demordrey seemed like your generic villain, and didn't seem to have any plan aside from "have the crusaders kill everyone while I summon a demon for the lulz."

     

    Baron Demordrey, however, had a big plan, arguably verging on Magnificent Barsteward territory. Its clear that he was planning his coup for quite a while, and the sudden orc invasion gave him the perfect window of opportunity. He effortlessly manipulates the surrounding baronies and ensures he has his own men on the inside, arranges the deaths of you and Wilbur in a way that makes it seem like an accident (which fails, naturally), and finally used all the influence he had gathered to ensure his seat on Ancaria's throne. Hell, if it weren't for Shadarr, the Shakkara Demon, and of course, the player, he may very well have won.

    If you ask me, I'd advise you to wait for some time. The reason is that in Ice and Blood regions and on the Christmas Island the enemies' level is higher that in other parts of the game. So if you'd go there in the end of the difficulty, you'd still find it interesting (Max level in Silver Wastelands is lower than in Silver Ice and Blood regions). But if you go there from Tyr Lysia and level up quite fast in these places, you'd be so-o-o bored in Artamark with its 54lvl max.

     

    Hmm, I never thought of it that way.

     

    Alright, in that case, I think I'll wait until the endgame (Wastelands/Great Machine). Thanks for the heads up.

    Ok, thanks for the Relic advice. I've decided that I will tackle CI and the IaB content AFTER I clear out Tyr Lasia, at least up to the point where I complete the Undead Legion and ESPECIALLY the Blind Guardian quest for the epic reward gear (sadly, it will only be useful to my Seraphim, as BG apparently hates hafted weapon users. =( )

     

    One last thing, which of the two IaB regions is better to start with first?

    I was just wondering if there's a consensus here. Last time I accessed the Christmas Island and Ice and Blood content, it was after completing all the quests in Thylisium.

     

    But...is it better to wait until later? I ask because while the Blood Island was manageable, the Ghost of Christmas Future kicked my ass, and I was playing on BRONZE at the time.

    Wow...

    I didn't think Silver mode would have such an effect on the game, but boy was I wrong. The bosses and mobs are actually CHALLENGING, no matter your own level. Indeed, taking down the White Griffin was a major hassle.

     

    On the plus side, leveling a lot easier now. I've just finished all the quests in western Tyr Lais (Bloodtongue, the Griffin, Abbess, etc) before heading to the next major town after Sloeford, and I'm already level 19. At this right, I may very well hit 25 before I even get to Thylisium.

     

    And I'm loving every minute of it. =D

    What part about Sacred 2 is making you play it?

    in Sacred 2 General Discussion

    Hmm...well, I've always been a sucker for rpgs of all types. JRPG, WRPG, SRPG, ARPG, I love em all. Ironically enough, I had gotten the original Sacred by accident. I had intended to get Fatal Frame 2, but my mother suggested Sacred as an alternative since FF2 seemed too scary for me (I was about 14-15 at the time). And...the rest is history.

     

    Now, as to why I enjoy the Sacred series:

     

    -The near seamless blend of the hack n slash gameplay of Diablo and the open world aspect of Elder Scrolls

     

    -Impressive graphics

     

    -Plots that managed to balance humor and seriousness. (Though in 2, most of the humor comes from idle chatter from enemies and NPCs)

     

    -The sheer amount of ingame customization

     

    -The bitching music (especially in 2)

     

    -The fact that, even with Ascaron gone, companies like Deep Silver were able to pitch in to make Ice and Blood/Gold available to us non-Europeans.

     

    -And finally, possibly most important of all....the community, modding or otherwise, its created. Seriously, I think it was browsing this board, this wiki, that reignited my dying interest in the franchise. I probably would never have gotten both games' Gold Editions otherwise. And 2's CM Patch and Escort Invincibility mod are lifesavers. The only negative thing is that, to my knowledge, such modding isn't possible in the original's Gold Edition.
