The combat is still more complex than it is deep, and marred with several issues where it lacks meaningful tactical choice. The economy is still a joke and there is not a shop in the lands that can accept the kind of loot Henry unloads. The game still expects you to carry way more than your carry capacity allows. All that said this is by far the superior game. There's more to explore, more to find, more to do, more quests, more characters, more jokes, more secrets, more more more. The writing has also made a noticeable leap, where characters who were largely two-dimensional now have a range of emotions and aspirations that make them engaging beyond just the surface impression.

It's not perfect, but it is pretty damn great.
