huge difference to adventurers -- though the feel of travel by round ship will be a bit different to travelling by longship, and strictly speaking you may be able to get further, more safely.
You do get some significant advances in architecture. So if you want proper medieval castles, or soaring cathedrals, you really have to go to TL3. But you can have perfectly good solid walls at TL2.
Which is just a start. TL3 does also give you a wider selection of weapons, I should note, but the basic sharp things to poke in the other guy go right back to TL1 or 0.
