It's unfortunate that the first quest part of the quest line is so heavy on talkin vs. fighting. Really picks up once you get past that.
Tactician mode is awesome too, at least for the first few fights I did with it. My friend and I had already went through the original game but we wanted to try it out. They did an awesome job upgrading the encounters and making them a lot more difficult. Although I'm really missing my archer. Decided to switch out our archer for a rogue to increase the difficulty even more and keep kicking myself for it.
