Daedalic sent us a press release today, announcing the release of the second episode in their series of videos about the new features of Blackguards 2. This episode discusses the game's new strategic layer, including the mercenary recruitment mechanic and defense missions. It also describes some of the streamlining introduced to the game's systems ("simple misses are a thing of the past") and the new Endurance mechanic.

​

Besides that, there have also been a handful of Blackguards 2 previews published over the past week, at sites such as Softpedia, Entertainment Buddha and BioGamer Girl. Our own much angrier preview, courtesy of Darth Roxor, is on the way, so stay tuned.

Fun exercise: Count how many times 'streamlining' or a derivative/synonym thereof is mentioned in the vid.

I'm not confortable with this strategic aspect. I would have been happier with refined tactics.

Fun exercise: Count how many times 'streamlining' or a derivative/synonym thereof in a sequel made that sequel better.

I wish them all the best but this is far away from d1p. I guess I'll wait for Roxor's review and then for a sale...

Is it just me, or does the picture in the video look exactly like the gypsy camp in Quest for Glory 4?

??? I guess I can see how the layout is sort of similar.

 

[Dehumanizer]

OK, OK, it was exactly like my memory of it. Still, as you say, mostly the same layout.

Looks really good! But the combat system in the first game felt a bit lacking.
