Two Worlds is a very nice addition. The more games in the GOG-catalogue the better, just as long as they're DRM-free, who gives a shit if the game is 3 or 20 years old? Nice work GOG!

Very interesting game. I was playing it after its original release but all the bugs and the bad balancing made me stop. Now I will happily play it again, because despite these flaws it's a great game underneath.
I really don't care if this game is too "young" to be released on a site that says it's about old games, because for me the word "good" was the important part. And "Two Worlds" is a release that pretty much sums up what GOG stands for: no DRM, bug-free, easy-to-handle classic games.
Thanks GOG-team.

I *ALMOST* bought this through eBay a few days ago. Almost.

Is the game still bugged or not? I can see it being a great RPG without bugs.

Had lots of fun with this one. Definitely picking it up. Forsooth!

nay.. verily.. tis the direction that is bad. forsooth the acting is fine..... verily.

It's patched to the newest version, which removes a ton of the bugs it was plagued with initially. I can't testify to how bugfree it is overall though as I've never played it.

Oblivion GoTY edition if you like fantasy and love the ability to do what you want
Fallout 3 has more structure and a future shooty feel, same with Boarderlands, even more structure and nearly liner at times.
Any of the Stalkers will give you an open world sort of structured feeling.
Risen will open up the choice system, fully open world, forced by player choice into a role. Its an extreme roleplaying game where choices honestly do matter to a point and no 2 games play the same.
Morrowind feels liner but its truly open, once you get used to the environment your set.
The Gothics, 1,2 are hard as nails.... roughest toughest games you'll ever play, but they are great concepts of what can be done with a truly set world whats not created around you but you must learn to live in it.
Gothic 3 needs, requires the fan patch, after that its a great game, in the vein of Two Worlds and Risen... Risen has the most polish, then Two Worlds and then Gothic 3...
Divinity II is alright.... but the awesome stuff doesn't happen till your nearly done and its more linear...
OK so for open ended no rules do what ever you have:
Oblivion
Fallout 3
Risen (sort of)
Two Worlds
Morrowind
And the Gothics
Coming up with structure is:
the 3 STALKERS
Borderlands
Console games like this concept are:
Prototype
Infamous
Conan
Vikings: Battle for Asgard
Grand Theft Auto 4
Folklore (sort of)
Just Cause 2
Saints Row 2
Thats all i can recommend looking into. Vikings: Battle for Asgard was amazingly fun. Short as games go unless you are an explorer and take your time... i loved it though, wonderful buy.

Couldn't have said it better! :)
I think Two Worlds will very much be the next game i buy from GOG. Had a look at it all the time on my amazon wishlist, but here it is cheaper and (still the best part of it all) DRM-free... so go home amazon, go home! :D

dont hate amazon :/
:) From what I've read I will prolly get this..... but..... due to my skjash crazy backlog... i know it will be awhile before i even get around to thinking about starting it..... so for now..... ill wait.....
maybe when it goes on sale...... :)

I did not see this one coming but I'm still glad that it is here, I don't care if it is only 3 yrs. old or not.
I played TW a little on XB 360 and liked the game but was a bit frustrated with the control of it. I remember thinking I should get this for PC but just procrastinated. I'm glad I did.
Great work GOG I will be buying this game.

Spent MANY hours playing this game.
Highly recommended.
I don't care if its a new game, as long as it's good and DRM-free
Great release.

As others have said, "old" is a relative term. I think it's all about what benefit a GOG release offers - especially in the games business where games disappear from shelves 3-6 months after release, and good luck finding an original copy of a 2 year-old game. This is not movies or music or books, where publishers actually care that their back catalogue remains available. It's "fire and forget". And then of course there's the DRM-free benefit, which comes especially into play with this release. Even if you can find a used copy for $1, it's still worth a lot less than the GOG release for $10, for the simple reason that soon the activation servers will be gone, and the GOG release the only legal one that will still work.
I played Two Worlds about a year ago, a copy borrowed from a friend. It was my first contact with an online-activated game. I wished I could by the game for my own collection, but I couldn't, because I don't pay for a game that I can't play whenever, wherever and for as long as I want. Now I can get the GOG release, which is the first release this game has seen that is worth its price.
And as for "good" - that's not really the question for this game because it is, in fact, very good. People who bash it usually belong to one of three categories: they (a) haven't played the game, they (b) played the game for a few minutes with the initial intention of not going to like it, or (c) had a bad experience with the original, buggy release, which admittedly was able to put off a lot of people. But apart from that, "good" is always objective. Objecively bad movies often become cult hits. As long as the technical execution and production quality is fine, you will find people who like it. And I don't see GOG releasing Big Rigs or Garbage Truck Simulator 2010 anytime soon.
To me, GOG feels like a legal Home of the Underdogs. And Two Worlds would have fit right in there as well.

arggg why is GOG always releasing only the english version. I have played it a little with the german translation and the voice acting was not great but good enough.
Now when im reading every third post that the voices are horrible in englisch i pray to the GOG-Gods that they will soon release all their games with multi-language support.

DISGREGARD ALL THAT.
Get Ultima VI and Ultima VII (all versions two versions with its expansions)
those were open world games, you could even bake bread, by going to the well with a bucket, filling it with water, getting some flour, mixing it, using kitchen tools to make the dough and then baking that in a stone oven...
And more.
