This is probably close to my thoughts on Two Worlds.  No one likes that game.  No one is going to argue it doesn't have a legion of objective problems.  But I enjoy it so much.

Did you play the sequel? It was also critically panned, but less obviously broken. I actually think the game looks beautiful at times.
My gf doesn't play much, but has a thing for fantasy themed open world games for some reason, and she'll play the hell out of even the most obscure ones. Two Worlds Two is probably one of her most played games (as in countless complete playthroughs) - I've never played it myself but often watched along as she did, and to be honest I think the game feels very compelling, and not as dry as those PiranhaBytes games. It really helps that it absolutely does not take itself seriously. One specific character (and only that character) has voice lines that consistently never match the subtitles, and I'm not even sure if that was unintentional.

I did, yes.  I enjoyed the first one more, but not for any sort of logical or rational reasons.

I'd be all over a remastered double release.

I know I did once make a topic/thread about "Top Five Reasons You Can't Blame" the N64 for using cartridges but boy did it cost Nintendo dearly the RPG genre because the 10x more space on CD-ROMs was especially ideal for big quest games like, well, RPGs!  So I guess all the more reason Quest 64 has "the token N64 role playing game" reputation.

People seem to think fairly well of Aidyn's Chronicles, but I've never even given it a look.
