This trailer for Sacred 2 is the most amazingly epic thing I've seen all day, and also the most tragic. It's not every day that you get to see an in-game music video for a German "Fantasy Metal" band that includes skeletons getting their heads knocked off, right?
It's more like every three days.
It's hard to keep track of all the things on my radar, so Sacred 2 has dipped out of focus recently. I have heard that it's got some promise, though, so I made a mental note to keep an eye on things. I have no idea whether the video I've just seen is a good or a bad sign, but it's a sign either way. A sign of something.
I could do with a good Western RPG after the five traumatic minutes I spent with Two Worlds, so I'll add Sacred 2 to my sacred "list of things that may or may not disappoint me." Also, I should probably watch this video again ... just to make sure I didn't imagine it.

As for the game, we will see.
That was amazing.
My recommendations: Imaginations From the Other Side, Somewhere Far Beyond; their greatest albums. GO NOW JIM!!! FOR THE SAKE OF GAMELAND!!!!

Blind Guardian got me into music. Nightfall in Middle-Earth... Too good for words.
This is now the single reason I'm interested to know more about Sacred 2, well done.
You too, huh? Same exact album. Heard "Mirror Mirror" and ended up special ordering it at the local record store. Haven't looked back sense.
I never played Sacred, actually. What I see here though, I am sort of intrigued. To the infomobile!
Cool concept, poor execution.
That is the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life...Hansi singing into a wizard staff!!!!! Why don't they do that live? I saw their first ever US headlining gig in Worcester, Mass years ago....Nightfall got me into metal :)
Can't wait for them to put out that album with an orchestra
THIS IS AWESOME
