games

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.
