I love DD2 so much but I am surprised at how little was changed mechanically from DD1
#saint plays DD2#one one hand yeha it’s nice bc it’s so familiar#but there’s a lot of clunky mechanics from DD1 that were excusable bc of budget/time constraints that you’d expect to be ironed out#in the sequel but a lot of the super clunky elements from DD1 have not been changed which is…strange.#and some of them are really good changes - the vastly improved pawn AI - that are flanked by questionable choices (pawns still never#shut up and have no way of contextually remembering how many times they’ve reminded you about a basic fact). and some of the improvements#are pretty half-baked. the approval system is still hard-connected to romance#and they’ve included explicitly romantic scenes bc they’ve decided they don’t want to decouple it which like fine but those scenes are#one-time scenes locked to two women and nobody else and their dialogue after is generic. there’s no real romance arc#nor can you say no. you either romance them or don’t do their quests. it’s still railroady like#DD1’s princess. I love DD and it’s fascinating bc it’s a lot of good ideas wrapped up in either poor execution or questionable decisions#though I do think DD2 came out too early and probably could’ve used an extra year at least.
