So... the game is awesome.
Having a party instead of a single guy makes the TB combat system much more enjoyable - especially with weapons like 'donut' range spears and crossbows - and the little nods to AoD are even better. So far, i've reached the first gang and i'm battling through the river, middle difficulty, with a 8 cha / 8/8/8 physical stat dodge spearman. Companions are the crossbow guy from the first fights, the old mercenary you get from Barca gang, and the hammerman you get at the beginning.
This said, i have some "complains" which really aren't, they're just considerations:
1) the game is less smooth, graphical performance wise, than its predecessor. I can understand that this is mainly because there more fancy things like the river in the caves, or the magma river, and so on. Also, my laptop is a old-as-fuck shit and i'll be changing it soon, so it's more than normal that i have some fps drops.
2) Achievements. I don't get achievements. I mean, i got only the "Moving up in the world". No "Kill or be killed". Is that normal?
3) Fuck ants, and more than that, fuck scorpions. They don't hit too often, but when they do, especiall if they hit the old-mercenary-with-5-cost guy, they chunk him for half life, thank to his low poison resistance.
Still, 10/10 so far. GOTY.
