Setting the Record Straight
I saw the 1/10 review mention that there was only a 1 MB file so I went to the offline installer and I verified that there is also a 1.6 GB file. The 1 MB file is called "To Be A King Volume 2 - Part 1 - To Be A King Volume 2 - Part 1 (Part 1 of 2)" and the 1.6 GB file is called "To Be A King Volume 2 - Part 1 - To Be A King Volume 2 - Part 1 (Part 2 of 2)". (Since that seems superfluous I imagine that if you decide to check these out in the future the names may have been altered.) In GOG Galaxy the file is called "To Be A King Volume 2 - Part 1". To use the offline installer you need to download both "Part 1 of 2" and "Part 2 of 2" and then use "Part 1 of 2" (the 1 MB file) to download the DLC while you have the base game already installed. Every game downloaded like that comes with a 1 MB file since that is the offline installer. The only thing that I can imagine is that the 1/10 reviewer did not scroll down to see the "DLC installers" category. The version is, as of the writing of this review, 0.11.8. With that out of the way, what can I say about this DLC? I didn't like it as much as the first part. Mainly because I felt like control was wrested away from me in terms of the main storyline (you are still firmly in control of the general's love life). I'll try to be vague but these could be considered to be some minor spoilers. The protagonist sides with one character and spurns another in the process, then tells the former, to his face, that he doesn't trust him. This part includes marriages. I sort of get that the developer probably had to make them similar to avoid favouritism and not add too much workload but not inviting your best friend to his daughter's wedding feels wrong to me. There is a part that gives some background to a romance option but it would have been nice to have given that to the player before having to make the decision on whether or not you want to marry her. If the first part is a 10/10 then I would rate this as a 7.5/10 (3.75/5).
