Is this game even good?

Is this game even good?

Yes

yes

These greedy folks are charging about 20$ for each new race they add. Its like wtf? Is it even worth it?

In 6 months with more patches it will be good. It's okay now.

meh, nothing to do until Bannerlord

Did you want an answer or just whine about dlc?

pretty much this, I have it but waiting for more content

New races are added to the game whether or not you own them. You only have to buy them if you want to play as them. Plus they revised the "big" race release packs from how they did them in TWW1 so they now include twice as many playable LLs each. There's also a significant amount of freeLC as well, the Tomb King launch in Jan will also include a new Skaven LL for free.

Sorry never played, what is a LL? Thanks for the info btw.

I really don't like the over-world mechanic. It's civ, but worse. And civ is shit already. And the actual gameplay is pretty barebones too and there's not much you can do in it. If DOTA2 is 10% of a barebones RTS like Starcraft 2, Total Warhammer 2 is about 30% and that's saying something.

I love everything about the Universe though.

this tbbqh

leader unit with unique skillsets/lore

1 is better, but only better cause it has all the DLC and races. I regret buying 1 on release cause races like Humans and Vampire Cunts got lots of new units lords and maps. Imagine how peeved I was when I was playing ORKS, this september and seeing all the units and improvements I had missed in the game. I practically missed half of what each race had gotten, since I played them a year ago. If you're going to buy Warhammer 2, wait for the DLC to be mostly complete. If not, just buy 1 and play that to hold you over.

No one should be buying a half finished game. No one.

This.

Also, pirate this game before you buy it.


Also, flood /twg/ and ruin their memes.

Your faction leader. They get different starting units depending on who you pick as well as different campaign/battle bonuses, also unique "gear" through quests and some get special mounts. They also can't die, so if they fall in battle or by agent you just lose them for a few turns until they get better.

I wish the Norsca/Mortal Empires batch would be cracked somehow. I know they're probably waiting until it comes out of this open beta we're pretty much having right now, but it sucks.

I pirated both and had a blast, but I felt that CA did put in a lot of work with the game, and I would be modding the fuck out of it. So I shelled over the dosh during the sale.

I think having both is worth it. So when you want to do a largely imperialistic run you can run an ME game, or something more compact, run WH1.

Its alright for one playthrough.
The problem is that the AI simply cheats to provide any difficulty, so you're stuck with a bunch of mechanics that only really apply to your dudes.
Depending on the difficulty every npc faction will spawn more soldiers or better soldiers or faction leaders with full epics etc..
It feels hollow after a while.

I like TW2 more than the first game to be perfectly honest.

The fact that you can just go ahead and ignore the vortex and chaos makes the campaigns way more fun

I need some sort of "stop steamrolling the map nerd" function, or campaigns turn into un-fun cleanups.

I just wish the strategic AI was smarter with its money, it starves itself often.

No. Neither is the first one. They completely gutted and casualized the Total War franchise and yet somehow the battles are even less gory and smaller scale than ever before. Boring, shallow garbage with ruined mechanics.
