    Sacred 2 designer Daniel Dumont walks readers through the creation of a special quest in the game. In this post, he describes the backstory for the quest, and his thoughts as he designs this special quest.

“Fortunately the hero learns that he can intensify his resistance against the effects of the fog by eating a certain marsh marigold (lat. name Caltha palustris, a relative of the common marigold). After this preparation he faces the fog-monster in a swamp region where there's an old and scary cemetery nearby. He shouldn't get too close to the fog, because even though he's increased his resistance it is still able to weaken him.”

    SACRED 2 - Fallen Angel AAA Notebook Gaming for All

ASCARON, one of the leading European computer game developers, in association with the world’s largest CPU manufacturer Intel, today announce their audience enhancing masterpiece with the unveiling of SACRED 2 – Fallen Angel as a true notebook gaming experience.

The Action RPG will boast a new level of optimization specifically targeted at gaming on notebooks from the hardcore gaming rigs down to the 128Mb onboard chipsets.

In the development of the notebook gaming technology in SACRED 2 – Fallen Angel, the focus has been on 3 main areas, namely core processes, graphic optimization and notebook-specific features.

Notebook-specific features include essential items such as in-game battery and wi-fi indicator displays, and the Ad-Hoc multiplayer mode (AMM) which is an innovative approach to gaming “on the move”, delivering fast Ad-Hoc wireless game creation and joining. All functions are actively supported by the Intel Centrino Processor Technology.

Commenting on SACRED 2 – Fallen Angel for notebooks, Heiko tom Felde, Managing Director of Ascaron Entertainment GmbH, explained, “Mobile PCs now account for over 60% of all PC hardware sales. Over the past few years this has created a huge market growth which is often disregarded by other major releases. The philosophy behind Sacred has always been to be accessible to everyone, in terms of gameplay, entertainment and system requirements. Notebooks and SACRED 2 – Fallen Angel go hand-in-hand, allowing everyone to participate in the enjoyable and rewarding game Ascaron has developed.”

In respect of the partnership between Intel and Ascaron, tom Felde says, “Our relationship with Intel has been superb. The level of support and professionalism provided by Intel is reflected in the performance of SACRED 2 on notebook systems. We are pleased that Intel opened their doors for Ascaron to work so closely and feature SACRED 2 – Fallen Angel as the leading showcase for Intel’s exceptional new Centrino2 platform.”

Published by CDV (US) and Deep Silver (Europe) for Microsoft Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION®3 and PC, the highly anticipated AAA title will hit shelves from October 2008.

SACRED 2 – Fallen Angel is a vast, detailed and deeply playable Action RPG. Assuming one of 6 uniquely identifiable characters players will embark on a thrilling story across two intricate campaigns set on the paths of Light and Shadow. SACRED 2 – Fallen Angel blends a seamless game world with solo and multiplayer gameplay, packed full of unsolved quests, character development, gritty adventure and deadly combat with hordes of screaming enemies.

Ancaria is a world without level boundaries, and players can freely explore without any loading delays. With its huge attention to detail and high quality graphic style, SACRED 2 – Fallen Angel will enchant players from all over the world.

    DailyGame.net previewed Sacred 2 recently and liked what they saw:

"the foundation is in place for Sacred 2 to be a great action RPG, particularly if Xbox 360 owners end up disappointed with Too Human. Sacred 2 seems much more approachable, with depth that's there for people who want it but not required for those who just want to hack through some ogres, Ents and dragons."
