Two Worlds - Preview @ CVG

CVG has a decent hands-on preview of Two Worlds on offer.  Here's a bit about the weapon stacking feature:

 Traditionally in action RPGs, players are walking medieval magnets, stripping rooms of any equipment that isn't bolted down and ending up with a knapsack full of crap. In Two Worlds, two copies of the same item can be merged for a tiny stat increase, and this can be done dozens of times. It's as mad as cats but creates a rewarding subgame. Is the boss's sword going to be more powerful than collecting the matching spears of each of his servants? Believe us when we say Diablo 3 really needs to steal this system. It makes finding the mundane a joy as well as the rare.
