needs better graphics, when I saw it at first I thought it was Sacred 1.... at least its not Sacred 3

Graphics looks very much the same, or I played with a High Res mod. I know I used a couple, one for further camera zoom.

Its 11 years since I seriously played the game, so my memory of it is probably through rose coloured glasses. After seeing it I went to an old forum I used to post on about game and saw my last post about actually playing game was in 2014.

Last time I played it, 1 4k screen just resulted in a longer draw distance - less fog - this had negative effects as enemies could see further and makes it difficult to run away if you need to. Probably okay on ranged characters but I wasn't playing one.

I wonder if it would have extended my discoverable distance... I should go visit an edge of the world.
I look at it now and wonder what half of it means. Its why I don't play my old characters as they don't deserve to die just because I have forgotten everything...

I have wanted this game remade for years... it doesn't feel real.

Ok, I'm hyped!

What!? If Colif gets Sacred 2, that means I finally get Xenogears!! It's only fair! (And FINISH it this time instead of just plopping main characters into a chair and explaining the last half in text!)

I wonder if that charging warthog can launch you into orbit the way Skyrim giants can....

I wonder if I can use my old characters in the new version... probably not.
I can't recall if the expansion added the shared inventory.

How I made my characters may not work anymore.
One tip: don't consume all the skills you get - they come as items - as you get a penalty for eating too many. Better to socket them into gear.

If I have to start from scratch - mostly, I expect I will remember as I go - its going to take me a long time to get back to where I was... I played it for 3 years.

I should try the other characters. I mostly played one class as you very rarely find gear for other classes, so it paid to specialise. It wasn't the Seraphim... I only tried her out after making many of the other one. She benefited from all the swords I had collected.
The others might not be so clunky.

Sacred 1 I played a Wood Elf as her arrow spray was impossible to get through... she wasn't as good in 2.
