The story is self-contained, allowing players to engage without prior knowledge of the first game, though some reviewers found it somewhat short and lacking depth. Players can choose a main character and supporting cast, which influences the narrative and endings, while a quest system tied to character interactions adds variety but requires backtracking to town for new quests. Overall, the story offers potential but could benefit from further development to enhance its impact.
“However, its story is fully contained within the game, and you can play without having any prior knowledge of the first game or its story.”
“When you start, you pick a main character and three supporting characters, which can affect what happens with the story itself and what kinds of endings you get.”
“I personally found it a bit short, and the story was there, but could have used fleshing out to give it more oomph.”
“Personally, I would have liked it if the quests advanced on their own, without your progression to trigger them.”
“The only downside is you had to get back to town using a consumable or spell to go see if he had a new quest after completing the old one, after advancing to a new floor.”
