that the ending *still* didn't resolve the Damned One/Damien storyline! After the way the first game ended, how could this one not completely wrap up that story!?
More than likely... its because there is going to be a sequel

I like this game a lot more than ED because during a side quest you dont have to run for half an hour to get to the next part of it. And hidden things, while still being hidden and very missable if your not looking for them, are a bit easier to find than they were. During one side quest you pick up another. One final point that I would like to make is that this game doesnt rely on just solving a litlle puzzle every once in a while.
The only thing that was a little annoying was how many quest you had to use mindread in, in order to complete them. Like... "Something Rotten." Without it, youll never find the key. But, I was cheating so it didnt bother me too much.
And if youre curios as to why Im cheating... its because I play for the story line and challenge of figuring things out with no help, not to concentrate on dodging, blocking, and doing everything to stay alive.
