I was one who couldn't get 1.0 to run even though I had a very high end machine. It caused me to quit the game(aside from the gameplay issues). But now I'm back with 2.0 and am enjoying it very much. One thing I can say is I'm sort of happy they made the character design more cartoony and less realistic. I think there is a balance you have to match before you get so realistic that the fantasy elements start to look fake. i.e. to me the realism of 1.0 was so great that instead of seeing character in a fantasy world, it looked more like people dressed up in a cos-play. It was immersion breaking I guess you could say.
