I think you are on to something Raze. I started playing two days after I finished. I also noticed the game recognized me as Rills (the name I gave my character in the first game) in my profile even though I didn't set up a profile the first time.
So I deleted all my saved games and decided to come back in a month or two. I don't think I could restart again any time sooner because I spent so much time on it already and it was becoming frustrating to say the least.
