This forum is so empty that I thought it wouldn't hurt to start a new thread.
I have played some Drakensang 2, but I am not terribly far. For those who know the game, I am currently infiltrating the fortress early in the plot.
I can confirm that this is Drakensang, only polished. The fully voiced dialogues are better written and are better at reflecting your character class. Depending on your class, the first quests are slightly different, so that it becomes easier to get into the character.
The game also makes better use of your character skills, especially in coversations. There is also more choice in how to do a quest. We are not talking about Fallout 2 levels here (Drakensang is far from it), but still an improvement.
The combat somehow feels slower than in the first game, but maybe it's just me. I wish it would speed up. On the other hand, there appears to be less filler combat and more unique encounters.
Just like in the first game, there are a lot of barrels to smash for almost worthless loot. Less than in the predecessor, but it is still annoying, especially since, as I heard, patient players can make serious money by smashing a lot of barrels.
Again, the world of Drakensang is beautiful and light. The visual design and the characters make it feel a lot like a fairy tale. Dragon Age, the Witcher and other games aim to make a fantasy world "realistic". There is a lot of politics, a lot of history, and everything is very serious. The world of Drakensang is like the early years of the pen&paper game. Pure escapism and fun.
