Is it just me or was this game way shorter then hte first one?

Did they fix the combat in the second one?
I found the first one to be the most shallow TRPG I've ever fucking played.
The combat was so mindlessly simple.
>>335111235
Its pretty much the same but now units can get more then one skill after they level up past 5
>>335111272
That's too bad. I really liked the story and art style of the game. Oh well, I'll pick it up on sale I guess.
>>335111146
>people actually bought the second one after the letdown that was the first one's storymode
The first game was short as fuck.
>>335111146
I also thought it was shorter but I guess it makes sense when you can have two protags.
>>335111586
>let down
What are you talking about nigger ?
>>335111391
What was wrong with the combat ?
I thought it was pretty ok but then I don't play games like these often.
>>335112096
That's fair. If you're not very heavily into the SRPG/TRPG genre, I'm sure this combat seemed functional.
However, the from a veteran's perspective, the battlefields were small, there were few units to control, and there were too few situational skills to play around with.
There was too little tactical advantage that could be pressed by a really experienced player.
That being said it wasn't awful, it was just not as deep as it could have been.

*the from
I meant just "from".
>>335112274
Aah I get it so it was too casual for vets of the genre but even then I think the devs concentrated more on story and visuals which are both very nice.
>>335112808
I agree, the game looks great and sounds amazing. I'll still buy it for that alone, but I do hope the 3rd one adds a little something more.

No the only flaw in the first one is killing a unit gives another unit it's turn, so the best strategy is to weaken everybody and kill nobody until the last minute. Did they fix that?
>>335115471
No they didn't but it sounds logical to allow the next one in line to go at it.
>>335115971
Other tactics games have a speed stat, or atb stat, or the whole team takes their turn at once, etc... In this game you're punished for actualy finishing off an enemy. Don't get me wrong I like it for the story and art, but that was the only flaw i felt needed fixing.
How did eyvind actually fuck up the serpent hard ?
>>335116925
*so hard I meant
>>335111146
how short?
>>335117696
Like 6-8 hours I think
>>335117696
Weird, I played the game like 20+ hours, and it's still not finished yet.
Why I can't trust Juno and her friends?
>>335118018
>>335117748
is it worth 20 or should I wait for the price to drop
>>335118217
I don't know m8, but if you really like the first one like I do, buy it.
I am enjoying it so far I think they did a lot to fix the combat this time around but it still has a lot of room to improve at the same time. I out right disliked the combat in the first with out simple it was it became dull and detracted from the characters and story. Now with the additional classes, races, and skill on top of not every map being an open square grid and actually having obsticle means that while still quite simple its just that simple. I can quickly go though matches but enough is happening that I don't get annoying or bored because just enough it happening that I have to pay attention. Can't say how it holds up in the long run I am not super far it yet, I just started playing the second chapter with the Merc guy.
>>335118217
Definitely, the combat is nothing special but the visuals and the story are just beautiful.
>>335119798
Also they add more animations which are good. Also, I'm intrigued to import my Alette save that I have on my android tablet and see how the story goes.
>>335120045
This story gets sadder with each chapter desu.
>>335120458
With a setting like that, i really doubt there's gonna be a happy ending to this franchise.
>>335120564
I hate bad ending.
When I fought bears/horseborns every unit turned invisible or started to flickerWHAT A TWIST
>>335120715
So do I but it wouldn't be logical.
Everyone is already turning on eachother at the end of the game let alone the dredge migrating to the west.
Troublesome.
Yellow and blue will lie to you

>>335121448
Who is dagr ?
>>335122090
How far are you in the game?
>>335121448Does this happen after the Serpent tries to eat Juno? I imported as Rook and apparently had an alliance with him but sided with Meinhoff and I never saw that
>>335122115
I already completed it but I don't pay much attention to the side characters.
Don't post spoilers.
>>335122282It happens after the serpent splits the caravan. He comes back with the remaining clansmen but then tries to betray you. You can either let Dagr go, skewer him and leave him to rot, or let Hakon cleave him in 2.
