There's also, paradoxically, a significant focus on per-battle affairs, as getting fully healed after each fight is real easy, despite healstalling being mostly gone (a good thing, I admit). Remember when I said they abandoned their niche? Yes, the iconic mechanic of DD1 is gutted and useless, I'm glad you noticed. The only unique affliction is Flagellant's TOXIC, which is a boon really, and can help you sweep the game with minimal hassle.

'Resolute's do the opposite- Heals, makes people like them. You can do this as many times as you want in one combat, and there is no Heart Attacks. Every negative affliction has been turned into 'Meltdown', which just lowers your health to ~10% and makes people dislike them. The stress mechanic has been gutted, and can comfortably be ignored. Hero upgrades are, also, per run and not per character. If you need a Man-at-Arms for your next run but don't want to lose your kept, named one, tough tits. Keeping characters often requires an Act boss clear, and there is no combat retreating this time around, meaning it's hard to keep your squad. Your characters' deaths don't particularly matter, either. Didn't care for pets, either, but the Shrieker one is cute. I did not care for the navigational minigame with the carriage and found most Stagecoach items sorely lacking in usefulness.

Often, it does not, but the dialogue inside is cool at least. Instead of preparing your camp skills and knowing what it is you can do, you now have to hope and pray that this Inn has what you want.

Not my favorite.Ĭamping is gone, replaced with the 'Inns' after each region. Many stats, such as PROT and ACC have been repurposed into 1-use 'tokens' that apply to characters, and. You must slog through, essentially, four DD1 dungeons before reaching the final bossfight of each Act Do this 5 times, and you win. THE HORROR - MECHANICAL MISS DD2 focuses far more on doing hours-long runs of treks to The Mountain than a decent-sized dungeoncrawl, where preparations and planning are thrown out the window entirely.
