Amazing games Both. Loved the plot and the humor in these games. Everything has a second meaning in this game but the developers keep it classy. The plot and graphics are definitely the strong points of this game. ALSO, One other huge bonus this game has especially given that it wasn't developed by a North American company, the voice acting. Really superb voice acting.
Problems:
- Itemization is done pretty bad from the original game to the addon. I never found better items then the Unther set I finished the previous game with. All my defenses were maxed 66% and I had enough life steal and regen to never use potions. The entire addon was actually really easy with the gear I had coming in. (I found a pair of pants and a sword that increased damage, that is it though)
- Reused Models/ Textures. The add on barely added anything new and even the original game overused the same models quite a bit. Every Item I found looked like another item I had 10 levels ago and killing the same monsters over and over with different skins / resized / retextured got pretty boring.
- Spawning huge amounts of creatures in the same rooms to increase difficulty. All it did was stun and fear me more, nothing became harder unless you count the lag. The Tomb at the end of game just before you escout the zeppalin was notorious for this.
- The original game took place in basically 4 outside areas, then you crammed tons of quests that involved running around and in circles to make the game seem longer. In future games it would be nice to see more areas. The addon was a step in the right direction. Lots of unique interior areas it was just beautiful. Only one outside area though.
General Quirks:
- One more huge quirk I have is the jumping. It works well but feels stilted at times and not nearly as fluid as it could be.
- Items placed in bookshelves. It is really hard to reach them and you have to sometimes push boxes over to a bookshelf to get in range to grab random books, mostly in the addon game.
