Bingo. It feels like someone who hated everything the first game stood for got creative control over the second one and tried to express that fact just enough as not to make it ridiculously obvious. The characters often feel 'off' or flanderised; the quests at times outlandish, ironic, or like they're just a vehicle for the writers' postmodern opinion on some political issue e.g. female empowerment or antisemitism. It lacks - for all intents and purposes - the SOVL of the first game, which is a meme, yes, but that's really what it feels like to me. The magic's gone.

Reminder that the faggot shit was a corporate mandated rewrite necessitated by current political climates and that they forced Vavra to play ball and renounce his old ways where he claimed there is absolutely no faggot shit going on and that it was just a medieval buddy cop story.
