but if DD2 has basically everything DD1 had (good story, good dialogue, better graphics, closer-to-the-action camera, good sound, same humoristic approach) what is your reason to fall over that combat system? Which is still an improvement over the original IMHO. Combat has gotten much more dynamic than it was in DD1, it's more fun, you're closer to the action, You can win a fight without using Whirlwind Attack, and they didn't even have to sacrifice the skill system to do it.
Since Gothic II I've dreamed of an evolution in that combat system to make the perfect combat system. But the first three Gothic II reviews I read said the combat system was horrible.
You just can't please everyone.
