#I also think how Travis is treated and viewed in NMH2 should be changed or expanded upon personally

If you could redo NMH2, what would the plot be about? More or less the same? What about the boss fights? What would you wanna see in a boss fight the most? (personally, i wished the whole Charlie and his hoard of cheerleaders got the boot, i never knew you could make a giant Mecha fight boring, but...yeah, it's...there. Wished we got some kinda werwolf fight tho)

Sorry for such a late reply, but as for what I would redo for nmh2's plot. I'm not entirely sure. I won't talk too much on it because I don't want this post to be TOO long but (Sorry if its a bit vague at points and ramblings): I think the plot is perfectly fine on paper, and with what happens in TSA/NMH3, I think it helps show just how deep Travis is with the cycle of violence/revenge between all the games. I wish they would've focused some on how the rapid developments of Santa Destroy via Jasper Batt and Travis winning the UAA rankings (?) was affecting the city for the worse like with the rise of crime and others feeling the need to join the UAA's ranks for whatever reason that may be. That couldn't be helped though, since I mean there WAS plans for an open world and it was just cut sadly. I think the open world being cut really hurt the game and its plot a lot tbh. Which leads me to the boss fights. I think design-wise they all look great, but their lack of story is ??? This isn't to say NMH1 had deep lore, but we are given just enough about them to speculate what their lives were like. Whether it's via environments like Death Metals mansion, or in their mannerisms and pre-battle speeches like Bad Girl. I think if they had just retweaked the bosses to focus more on themselves and THEN how Travis affected them, then it would've been fine perhaps? Nathan and Cloe Walsh are two bosses that come to mind when I see lost potential and wish they could've just had more about them rather than that weird scene Nathan gets and then...that weird scene Cloe gets.

I forget about Charlie until people brings him up ngl LOL. I get WHY they did that for ranking reasons, but honestly, they should've just thrown a bunch of assassins into an arena (not the fake-out we get with Dr. Shake) and had them fight JJBA part 6 style (The survivor arc). Or, if that's not possible...maybe don't make as many rankings and shrink them down in size instead. But yeah, I wasn't into Charlie's fight at all. Also would've been cool to see Henry fight AT LEAST one more person.

As for the werewolf, that would've been cool and probably better than the Matt Helms fight in terms of more horror-oriented fights (Didn't vibe with it as much sadly). I assume they wouldn't do it though because Miss Moonlight has the full moon in her battle.
