Sacred 2 is indeed awesome, if you like purely loot-centric games. There's really no story to speak of, but killing monsters (which is the majority of the game) is really fun at times. I hate how the camera is fixed at such a crappy angle, but thankfully it's easily corrected with some INI tweaking.
I have Sacred 2 -- and yes, it is really good.
About the camera -- I have Patch 2.40 currently installed, and if you look under the gameplay options in this version, you can pick b/t different Camera Modes a la NWN games -- such as a Free Cam (that you can entirely manipulate yourself any way you choose); a Follow mode (where the cam always follows behind the player); and ... well, I forget the 3rd cam mode! I keep it in Free Cam mode, myself -- I like to feel like I'm the player and director of this game here; I call the shots and what angle I think is best to see the action at.
And seconded on being anxious for the release of this. December is a while to wait, but like others have stated, if it ensures there'll be minimal bugs and other issues I'm perfectly capable of waiting. And, also as previously mentioned, there are so many promising RPGs coming out between now and then that the spacing is nearly perfect. By the time of its release you should already be done with the others.
100% agreed.
