Actually DOS II was really Dark and gruesome. The torture Chamber of Kniles, Shriekers, Mordus Have, telling Kids in Driftwood their Friend who was looking for his Mom got eaten by a Shark, any dialogue with Ghosts, the slaughter in this Village in act 2 where you fight that White Magister, the Graveyard of that elf Dude..i could go on and on. Stating its just Comic and goofy is a made up point, to exagurate your disappointmend.
Don't forget Roost Anlon the child abuser. Giving the spirits of those kids peace was really harrowing.
