I'm not sure if it was *univocally* better, but I also feel like there were things it did better than this sequel.
For instance, I spent the last two weeks going back and forth about the new armor system, and while I've grown used to it and I know how to "move around it", I finally decided I don't like it that much.
I can see what they were aiming for in terms of crowd controls and disables, but I think there were better ways around it. It's also a system that makes a certain amount of tools I loved to use in the first (grenades, elemental arrows, etc) borderline useless at times.
And I really don't like the way it's an "all or nothing" thing, where armor makes you immune to everything and then suddenly once it's gone there's not difference between a warrior in plate and a caster in a robe.
The new system also punishes harshly mixing physical damage and magic. Overspecialization is greatly rewarded.
