I must say I really like this game it. What makes the game great is not the main story arc of the game but the side stories of the playable characters. Everyone of them is different from one another and offer a good and engaging story arcs. BUT, in my play through I have come across a bugg created a situation where i could not progress futher down that quest arc as intended. I have also have had the game crash on me more then once, this might be partly my own fault, when I tab in and out of the game causing me to lose in total hours of game time. The combat in the game is both better and worse then the first game, Better because most abilities fell better and more consistant and the Armour and magical protection system the game makes it so that in most cases you dont need to be worried about some random enemy archer using a charm arrow on your tank the first thing in combat. Worse because the combat is so dependat on that your equipment is lvl appropriet making otherwise GREAT unique armour and weapons useless because their low base stats. This is a minor issue in the beggning of the game but latter becoming a f**king hassle to manange. Another great improvement from the first game is that respecs is free and dont remove which skills you know, makning it easy to change and adjust your playstyle for any of your characters. In the end i think this is a create game with a good stories to explore. A somewhat improved combat system compared to the first game. It is totally worth the money and if you like the first game you most likly will enjoy this one.
