Uninvited eyes are always watching where there is fame and fortune to be had. Captain Ed Teal recruits the hero of the story for a personal errand, one such errand that's allegedly unconnected with treasure, but rather to reconnect him with his lost love a secluded and hermitical maiden by the name of Maren who is said to inhabit the islands. Yet it is often true in the murky underbelly of the harsh seas, that things aren't always what they seem. The ship's notorious captain is a man so cruel and vile, he is said to have been born without a soul. When it comes on sale, definitely get it.Plots within plots and schemes within schemes devolve the crew of the Wandering Wrath into mistrust and outright mutiny, and all the while the lives of the islands' innocents hang perilously in the balance. Otherwise, if you're a fan of TW2, this is well worth getting for the additional play time and the new loot (thank the gods, I can finally ditch that stupid pointed Mage hat!) though the price point is too high, IMHO. This didn't happen before the expansion, but oddly does not affect multiplayer. My only complaints are that you cannot return to the 'real' world to kick ass and take names, and there is also some pronounced audio stuttering when looting and opening inventories, which carries over to the main game as well. Gameplay is much the same as the original TW2 (sailing has been tweaked for the 'landlubbers' to be easier) but the enemies are more robust, hence the requirement for a high level character.
Hold a torch up inside the ship and you'll see not just shadows, but detail from bump mapping as light plays off various textured surfaces. There is a definite improvement to the graphics, especially the lighting. There I got many hours of fun out of this, mainly because I love to explore and try out different weapon combinations against the unruly mobs.
