Erm, it didn't seem anything like Oblivion at all to me.. Only the green ass landscape resembled Oblivions.
If anything it felt like a Gothic clone.

Well the first game was kinda fail on the X360 using drastically lowered settings (EDIT: And initially it still ran very bad or rather stuttered based on various sources, HDD install would probably have helped back then if it had been a option.) which the user (If he was aware about it.) kinda had to fix himself by taking down the console (Must be a first for console games.) and use various commands and tweaks.
Might be better optimized this time around though (First game was OK after 1.5 to be fair.), first had it's fair share of flaws and issues though if pushed further via those commands again it could keep up pretty well with more recent titles as hardware improved.
(PhysX early implementation so animations and physics were pretty basic, similar to Gothic 3 and how stuff like smaller animals flew across the screen as you hit them, heh.)
Even had a mod SDK but it was very advanced so few actual mods surfaced and mostly smaller tweaks.
(Kinda killed MP playing seeing every stat for the other player for example, that and the very unbalanced skillset and low monitoring via moderators or admins.)
I do look forward to the sequel, if it's kept in line with the X360 version hopefully a console can be used this time as well and to be fair it does look fairly good.
(Character models are still a bit crude and some content seems reused but overall it's a improvement similar to the subtle but nice improvements between Gothic 3 and Risen to use a example or maybe Shadow of Chernobyl and Clear Sky to say that it might not be perfect but it's a nice improvement.)
Competition is quite serious this time as well (Previous had Oblivion and Gothic 3 to compete with and some other RPG's like NWN2 in a way.) with Fallout Vegas and Arcanium or what that sorta Gothic game was called again. 
(And probably some others, Mafia 2 maybe? different game but will be quite a competitor in terms of sales I imagine, buy one and pirate the other and such perhaps who knows, heh bit of a pessimistic view though unless the game totally fails to deliver or something, Oniblade and Earth 2160 had their flaws as had Knightshift or what their earlier game was called.)
EDIT: Post ended up a bit messier than I thought it would, ah well it's sort of readable anyway.

I can't find anything confirming any release date but seeing as it's gone from a expansion, stand-alone title and now full sequel it's not that surprising if they were to delay it further.
(Partially to avoid the problems the first game suffered due to being released earlier than it should have and such stuff.)
From the other things I've read on for example Insidetwoworlds.com it sounds like a nice improvement but it's just from early previews and hand picked screenshots.
(The game looks better but so far it looks quite similar to the first game in terms of visual fidelity, hard to judge much else from screens.)

Well here's to hoping it'll get released sooner rather than later. There's never too many decent RPG's to play.

More exclusive stuff, this time it's a extra dungeon and the so called Luciendar sword (Kit Rae) from pre-orders at Gamestop (Mainly a US store I think.)
(I have the Royal Edition of it on pre-order but if it isn't part of that I'll find some other way to unlock it like the bonus codes with the first game for example, was even a keygen for those, haha.)

Looks better and better. I won't hold my breath though. The first one also looked good, but was a buggy mess out for the box. Got playable after a few patches though.
