I really wanted to like the original, because it is exactly the type of game that I like, and indeed the game was very beautiful. I just wish the story and the combat were more compelling. I hope they can improve on both those aspects in the sequel and deliver a good game.
And I am also glad it comes from a relatively small European studio, and I wish those people luck.
The story was alright for me, up until the twist for Henry I guess. That was pretty awful. Up until then I enjoyed his little arc, even if it did kinda lose the premise that you’re a nobody. The combat on the other hand I actually enjoyed and was surprised when after I beat the game and googled some reviews that people were knocking it. The only issue I had was when there was like 5 guys on me, other than that I enjoyed it.
Bohemia seems to be their passion, but i do hope that someone follows in their footsteps for an Asian setting or a South American setting. Europe is just a less interesting setting to immerse yourself in.

I’d expect the combat being the same, maybe more polished at best. Some systems are bound to be overcomplex with their aim for realism

Asia and South America didn’t have Charles the IV, king of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor, who had a long and successful reign.
Instance checks out lol
Japan has been done (although not in the same way as kcd), I’d prefer to see India or a less fantastic presentation of China.
