I had a good time with it, despite bad performance on my old rig. I did end up modding it with stuff like weight reduction and increasing drops. I’d probably rate it slightly below DDDA, as what DD2 is missing the most rn is everything I loved about Dark Arisen which was a focused experience. And the first game had better music. The Warfarer class smooths over a lot of issues with exploration like needing access to a movement skill to reach a chest. Spears are cool, though they have a busted defensive skill that trivializes the game. Being able to stand on enemies is a good change to the climbing dynamic, it is extremely risky but allows stamina regeneration or standing attacks/skills. Pawns remain a good system, though some vocations feel less optimal (which has always been the case). Side quests remain bullshit quirky. Post game was neat. If you liked the first game, you’ll probably like 2, but probably not as much.
