Wheeee!
It is definitely easier then KB:TL or AP, at least on normal difficulty. And, on average, I'd say battles aren't as long, either. There is one optional arena fight that took a long time though (the second one with the lice and gates). However, the maps are generally larger, and there are more maps with puzzle elements, and interactive fixtures, which make them more interesting, to me at least.
EDIT: It's not all combat. I should add that I really like the armor equipment options. There's separate kinds and pieces for head, body, hands, feet (and shield), which you can mix and match to your heart's content to optimize specific kinds of protection, initiative, parry, or armor rating. The stats update right on the inventory screen (with just hovering, not equipping) so it makes it easy to compare.
There is some local C&C. But I think more consequences will show up in later chapters. But that's a guess.
