![]() ![]() So, is 2 just more of the same or is it a little less linear with more forgiving fights where I don't have to sit here trying to figure out the one script to win and then hope rng will let you get through it to the end? (Long question, but hopefully you can tell what I am asking.

And I never appreciate games that cheat (against their own internal rules and mechanics) in order to up the difficulty level.Īlternatives are good when it comes to RPG's. I am not knocking the underlying combat mechanics and character development system that they borrowed from the Dark Eye table top game, but the implementation is unnecessarily frustrating and amounts to playing dance, dance revolution with a keyboard. And the game basically forces you to save-scum over and over in order to figure out the dance. Blackguards 2 will again be based on the RPG rulebook of The Dark Eye, but it will come with some revisions, optimizations, and simplifications. Youve got to love Victorian phrasing: 'The blackguards exhibited their Stygian patriotism by assailing him with eggsnot new-laidand other equally delicate missiles.' You cant beat that. Move here, do this, then move here, do that. There are no real alternatives within most fights and even if you get the dance steps right you can still fail if rng lets you down. but why? Its just figuring out dance correography. Well, not quite the worst, I suppose, because I did like the idea of battle actually causing changes on the world map. Given the speed with which Blackguards 2 has been released, I expected the worst. It may be a bit daunting for those new to the genre, but the payoff after the challenge is. A deep story with great characters, varied quests, deep customization, and great battles make for a must have game. I am most of the way through Act 3, and I could finish. Enter the sequel, with a somewhat dynamic strategic map and increased scope for customisation of the main character. Blackguard 2 manages to exist as a game that feels like a classic strategy role playing game, and as so much more at the same time. I have both games, and I tried to play 1 before 2. ![]()
