Just a quick Thank you.
Lately I was scratching my h&s itch and after playing dozen characters in Torchlight 2, buying Titan Quest 3rd time, trying to enjoy Diablo3 (pretty game, f*cked up difficulty system) I've dusted off my Sacred 2 disks. Large part of the weekend I was trying to run the game (no physXloader.dll for you mortal!). It was pretty much crashing/freezing every n minutes. Mostly in moments it had to load something:) I know that's pretty much all the time, but entering/exiting caves, teleports were the most common. After buying Sacred 2 gold on Steam and applying 1.50+1.60 game crashed 1 (one) time in 7 hours! When I've upgraded axe with smith art, magic pearl and a ring and tried to put in in the equip slot.
Overall it's huge improvement and mapping Esc to additional quick save is ingenious (but while the game is stable it's not THAT useful).
I found a sound mixing slightly "less juicy" than in original version but Sacred 2 still has the best low health sound out there:)
I'm not a huge fan of black UI background. I believe it needs better (maybe bolder) font. But I don't want to use Torchlight one because it makes the game looks tooney:)
Right now I'm looking for a more zoom in, but that's camera customization thread is for:). I always wondered why chars in title menu are so small.
Sacred 2 for me is a sentimental journey. It was released just after some surgery I've had to go through so I spent most of the months off with he Shadow Warrior guy and Anubis the Temple Guardian. Now I can jump on the same train and thanks to you guys, the travel is enjoyable:)
