The gameplay remains the same as in the original game although the world is much smaller now and some changes are noticeable in it. So the player once again takes over the control of the nameless hero in order to enforce the peace and he needs to decide which side he will be on. In the end Xardas vanishes and the nameless hero wakes up in a bed in Silden, under the distrustful eyes of Anog - and without his former strength. Xardas tries to stop him and a battle ensues from which neither comes out as the victor. Watching all this from a different plane of existence, the nameless hero decided to go back to Myrtana. Inog and Anog, the rulers of the lands surrounding Silden in the west, on the other hand are not in any position to stand up against Thorus or Gorn. Meanwhile Lee, the ruler of the kingdom in the east, decided to stay out of the skirmish and wait it out. So he himself began to attack the caravans and outposts around Geldern. Thorus, the new ruler of the Orcs, of course couldn't just sit on his throne in Trelis and let Gorn slaughter the Orcs. Gorn, ruler of Gotha in the north, assembled an army and started to rage war against Thorus. But instead out of the ashes of the Orcwar a new empire began to rise. They envisioned an era of rebuilding and understanding between the races of men and orcs. With the gods Innos and Beliar finally destroyed, Xardas predicted a thousand years of peace.
