Similar to DOS.
I also agree about story/mechanics.
The mechanics of DOS1 made it a gem while the story was meh.
The mechanics of DOS2 are shit in a bucket, and so no matter how cute the story is, it's not even close.
For some reason they took something that works and fucked it up with bells and whistles.
It's kind of what Larian is known for though. But it's really starting to hurt their product..
In DOS1 you had fire arrows to flame a target, and explosion arrows which were more rare and expensive. In DOS2 it's all area effect galore, no two characters can ever stand next to each other because everything has some kind of elemental area attack that's very likely to cause mass explosions etc. They need a leash.
