Playing TW2 is definitely it. I don't usually have high expectations for a game. So, I'm rarely disappointed. However, my expectations for TW2 were pretty high. The part of TW2 where my expectations were the lowest was, ironically, the point of my greatest disappointment. To be precise, it was the interface that killed my interest in the game and lost a vast amount of my respect for CDP as a whole. I know, the interface for TW1 was fairly terrible and was downright broken before the EE patch. Yet, somehow TW2 managed to be substantially worse than TW1 ever was. My biggest pet peeve for any game is having a broken or otherwise intolerable interface. You could have the greatest game in the universe but, if the interface is about as fun as rolling your fist in a mix of glue, sand, fiberglass and glass shards and then trying to shove it up your own ass, then I'm not going to want to play your game, ever.
It didn't help that TW2 was built like a cheap console port. The lack of support for 16:10 resolutions was a pretty big slap in the face but the complete inability to customize your controls was down right damning. To make matters worse, the interface failed on both fronts. It failed for keyboard + mouse and it failed for using a controller. The thing that just smacks of stupidity though is the inability to combine the use of your keyboard + mouse with a controller. There are times when using a keyboard + mouse are more convenient and times when a controller is more convenient but, to switch between them, you have to restart the game. Whoever designed the interface for TW1 deserves to be banned from ever working on another video game but whoever designed the interface for TW2 deserves to be burned at the stake (or worse if it's the same person for both).
Of all the problems with TW2, the one problem I couldn't ignore was the interface. It bothered me so much that, to this day, I've yet to play the game past the starting area. Even if the interface were fixed by a combination of patches and mods, I've lost so much interest in the game that I'm not sure I'll ever want to play it again. I have a strict rule against pre-ordering anything, a rule I broke for TW2. I wont be making exceptions to that rule ever again.
