Sacred 2 is a massive, sprawling, vast and possible enormous Diablo-style RPG. It came out on PC a while back and is this week arriving on console. Who wants to win a copy?
UPDATE: Tuesday’s draw is now closed. To win a copy of Xbox 360 go here. A second PS3 copy will be given away on Thursday.
Today we have one PS3 collectors edition of Sacred 2 up for grabs, thanks to distributor Madman Interactive. And for the rest of this week we’ll be giving away one more copy each day, another PS3 copy on Thursday while Wednesday and Friday are Xbox 360 days.
RPGs are all about questing, adventure and the life of your character. Your character journal or quest log is the record of that life.
To be in the running to win, I want you to write a journal entry of your quest to win this competition. The most creative, imaginative, funny and/or well-written prose will win. I’m not going to set any word limit on this, but… just don’t go nuts, ok?
Leave your entry in the comments between now and 2pm tomorrow when the next post goes up.
Good luck!

—————————-
Sacred 2: Fallen Angel
———————-
Went to see the most acclaimed writer of the lands this morning for assistance on this quest to obtain the Sacred 2 relic.
On my arrival to his house I found the door ajar and the smell of death fresh in the air. Pushing the door open I was presented with a horrific scene. The writer had been brutally murdered in the night. The tongue had obviously been removed first, a trophy perhaps, but the rest was just for fun. This was undoubtedly done by one of the Kotaku Readership cultists also searching for the relic. I had no choice but to leave in disgust and wishing I had come to see him last night, instead of spending it at the tavern.
I now find myself back at the tavern again. I have come to the realisation that there is only one way I can hope to complete this quest. I must increase my creativity and to accomplish that I must set out to the Pit of A Thousand Dead Clowns and obtain the Propeller Hat of Creativity.
May God have mercy on my soul.

Wednesday, August 26, 2009 at 10:26 AMThe beast is huge; a gold-scaled serpent with a bird like head. It watches me calmly, even as I step straight up to it past the fallen bodies of my fallen party members. My boots are wet with their blood.
I draw my sword, which slips free of its scabbard in a slick whisper, and point it at the beast’s head. “I’ve come for the copy of Sacred 2,” I snarl at it. “Only when it is restored to the Altar of Kutaragi will the kingdom be safe!”
“It is not for you or any mortal to possess,” the beast says calmly. “Leave now, and your companions will-respawn. Stay here, and they face only the cool waters of oblivion.”
“Liar!” I hiss. With the cut-scene over, I’m able to suddenly lunge forward, stabbing at the beast’s throat.
The resulting fight is long and vicious. Bit by bit, I whittle its hit points down, even as my stock of magical items, status-effect crystals and Herbs of Health run out. With a beautifully executed chain combo, I crack open the beast’s armour. The beast dies. Green ichor sprays everywhere.
I’ve won. I’ll take the copy of Sacred 2 and…
And then something smashes open from the fallen corpse of the beast. It is scaled with beating wings of flame and murderous, copper eyes.
“You’re dead!” I scream at it.
“This is only the second round,” the beast hisses and flies down at me for another strike.

Wednesday, August 26, 2009 at 10:34 AMIn the beginning there were games consoles but no Sony in this domain.
And lo it came to pass that the great and mighty PS1 was launched and the gods looked around and saw all was good. Later a new vision came to pass, a mightier gift from the gods in the form of the PS2 was created and people rejoiced. Then there was a Blu-Ray in the heavens and a Fallen Angel came to earth. She labored long and hard for the vision of the gods was corrupted in the form of the Sacred PS3. With time & patience things changed, the gods vision was reduced, perhaps one could now say it was now Slim. Thus as a reward for my sacred questing, or should I say Sacred 2 questing on behalf of the gods a copy of the game found it way to my mailbox and all was good in the Dominion of Sony

Wednesday, August 26, 2009 at 12:18 PMDear Journal,
The start of today was great! I dinged another skill level in cheque processing after a long and grueling morning working on my craft skills. I was happy, I could now scribe myself the “Cheque of pay all at once” which should make questing faster.
Tickled pink with myself I decide it is time for lunch. So out came the wood and flint as I got the fire going for a nice hot meal. As the fire roared into life who should happen to walk by but the mysterious David Wildgoose with a quest marker above his head.
Not one to pass up the opportunity for xp’s and phat lootz I left the fire going with my lunch. As my stomach was growling like a bear I really didn’t have time to read the quest text so I just hurried my way though it, grabbed the quest to add to my journal and ran back to my lunch.
Sitting back enjoying a much needed rest I felt a sudden thud to the back of my head. As I slide out of the chair I notice from the corner of my eye my assailant. That dam mail room weirdo! I thought I had seem him scurrying about like the little weasel he is but I didn’t think he would gank me like that. I know I ninjaed the last doughnut yesterday from him but seriously this is a bit much.
Now I gota wait for a rez while that little weasel makes off with my lunch and the quest. Great now he will get the phat lootz.
Where is everyone and where is my rez damit…
