(End) bosses are ok as long as there's the same combat mechanics as in the rest of the game.

Yes, there was. He had supposedly given into depression and became an alcoholic… as stupid as that sounds. I guess we're to believe he became weak and needed to train all over again.

From what I remember, a big part of why you start out "depressed" and drinking, is that the Ocular you're wearing is taking its toll.

That's what I got out of it.

I had no problem with it.

My problem was more about the weird jump in time from more or less traditional fantasy to pirate stuff without much explanation, and especially the unnecessary changes to the mechanics resulting in a somewhat poor combat system.

Completely agree. Instead of refining the gameplay, they started from scratch, and the new system actually ended up worse than the previous one. Very odd decision there.
