For one thing it puts you in much more interesting situations than oc. Certainly does away with the "collect 4 creatures to collect four artifacts to collect Quattro keys" pattern of oc.
One step forward, one step back imo. Yes, the quest design was better, no arguing that, however there was never a point where I was trying to figure out who had the right of whatever situation, or who I should side with. It was all obvious, there were no surprises. The difficulty seemed scaled way back as well which I forgot to mention before. Anyway, they seem about on par to me, just for different reasons.
