I have to disagree. I don't think it's as good as the first game.
Between the dog and the golden line leading you to your doom, there's very little need to explore. The inventory management is lackluster. You can't read a book or feed your pet or drink a potion or eat a food without being taken out of the menu. You're stucking farting or flexing your muscles for an hour straight just to have enough renown to get to your next quest. Your hero turns corners about as well as a semi truck and it gets worse when half the town is following you around asking for your autograph. The story is kinda weird. You've gotta gather 3 other heroes that are almost no help, they don't even get to come with you on most of the quests. There's other things too but I don't wanna sound like I hate the game...
The shining moment in the game for me is when you first get to The Spire. That whole quest was epic. I'm kinda looking forward to playing again as an evil bastard. Overall, good game, some new stuff, but not as good as the original. Maybe if you played this one first..
Anyways, I just returned to the spire if that gives ya an idea where I'm at in the story.
