I was thinking of the pellet with the poison in the vessel with the pestle and the flagon with dragon that has the brew that is true when I wrote that, actually. I just couldn’t think of a way to link to it that wouldn’t baffle most readers.

The RPS review was fairly glowing, as I recall.

How is Rome II at this point? Have patches fixed some of the release issues or are there more entrenched design flaws?

Warlock 2 is 50% ($15) off on Steam for today only. I seem to remember it not being terribly well-received here. Anyone have an opinion on it? I liked the first one a lot, though I got a little bored with it before Armageddon Mode came along and spiced it back up again.

It’s largely MOTS, and the tepid reaction was based more on the $30 price point, I think. At $15 it’s not a bad deal.

If you got bored of the original warlock, would this new game have enough “newness” to entertain or is basically the same game with minor improvements?

If you’re bored of Warlock, you’ll be bored of Warlock 2.

Lori Singer was great in Warlock with that goofy old-age makeup, and they dropped her out of Warlock 2. But they kept Julian Sands, and he holds the whole thing together. I greatly enjoyed Warlock 2. Great oldschool campy gore-filled horror.

I got bored of Warlock but had fun in my 1 Exile campaign in Warlock 2 where I made it to the end. That might have given me 15-20 hours. I haven’t had the desire to play it again though.

I think warlock 2 might be a $5 title. Id pick it up for the time I was really bored and didn’t have any other games to play.
I just bought Warlock 2 at 50% off for 14.99 USD and I am inclined to agree with you. I was curious as to how it compares to the original and my curiosity got the better of me. I should have waited for a further price reduction.
In honor of the sale and comments here, I read through the Steam forums for Warlock 2. It looks like there’s a fair bit of angst about how they’ve handled the DLC. Apparently, Steam’s ‘Great Mage’ edition (currently $25) includes all the DLC offered via the Steam store, but there’s another $10 in DLC that is offered via an in-game store the developers patched in after release.
I’m sure I don’t really need most of that ‘DLC’ (especially the e-book and soundtrack), but for completionists like me it does hurt the value of any Steam sales. The current total price seems to be ~$35, and it sounds like the game’s core gameplay (and weaknesses) haven’t been changed much.
I’m happy with Warlock 1’s graphics and number of units available, so I think I’ll have to skip Warlock 2 and hope they decide to make a Warlock 3 in a few years.

I predict that Panzer Corps will be one of the weekly specials on Steam.
