Two Worlds Impressions

The folks over at PC.IGN have thrown together some impressions on TopWare Interactive's upcoming RPG, Two Worlds, after watching a demo of the game. Anyways, here's a nugget on leveling up your various skills:

After we had finished looking at the technical achievements, we were taken on a tour of the skills and abilities screen. While the level-up process and stat system doesn't appear to be as deep as those you'll find in Elder Scrolls games, it does have its own unique flair. Skills aren't improved through repetition, but rather through gaining training or knowledge in the game. For example, we saw a low level character talk to a stable owner and learn that one of his friends could teach you a thing or two about riding mounts. We found him and after talking to him gained a skill level for horseback riding. In this way, players will have to seek out the right people and places to improve their character rather than simply rubber banding a controller and making your character swim into a wall for several hours while you go to lunch (admit it, you did it in Oblivion).
