PRO: - Good to be the bad guy for once in a while! - RTwP fondly remembers me of classics like BG, IWD, PT. - Talent system is great. - Reputation/loyalty/fear/favor/wrath/artifact abilities is quite nice and interesting from a lore/gameplay perspective. - Conquest background is quite interesting (and a great way for a Tyranny 2 being a sequel with importing characters or making a new one with a "conquest" style of "resolving the first game"), and it is a nice touch that in New Game+ they show previous choices you made. CONS: - Stats matter less, mosty of the time increasing 3% to 5% of something. - After some time, if you specced the group well, combat is a breeze in normal difficult setting. - They throw too much items and it is quite boring going each one to see if it is better than current equipment. - Later game you feel ability bloated: Having too much but doesn't using them. - New Game+ done wrong: Enemies autoscale level. Could keep the autoscale, but lessened it so Act I+ felt easier (level -5, perhaps?) and grew from that until in the end enemies could be slightly more powerful than your group.
