Having a taunt-capable Braggart or a Leper with that charge-into-R1 quirk is a simple example. Quirks are now more impactful in combat and in nodes, as opposed to being statistic based, or only affecting curios. There are pros and cons to each version, as some love the Hamlet management, while others may enjoy the more pick-up-and-drop version. In DD2, you just pick your heroes, can rotate skills as needed, and go for a drive. No more worrying about whether my heroes are the right level, whether I have X or Y hamlet function, whether I've ground out the right trinkets, whether they've been fully upgraded at the guild, whether I have the right camping skills unlocked, whether I have enough of X or Y heroes during the early-game to make semi-decent comps, whether the zone has been progressed enough to clear the boss before the roster overlevels the difficulty, so on and so forth.
Personally, I love a grind - and DD1's never bothered me at all - but I also like the ability to dive into a run without preamble when I feel like getting a fix. People who have been complaining about 'the grind' don't have to worry any more, because the only true grind is just playing the game while your account levels up. Progress is now account progression rather then background progression per-save. Visible turn order, token system (instead of DD1's horrible statistics), combat items (which don't use turns), an extra skill-slot for heroes, skill mastery being singular instead of level-based, build-making trinkets, inn-buffs (which are better than camping), and various other factors put DD2 a mile beyond DD1's combat. As a bonus, their stories are now playable (rather than external comics).Ĭombat, stats, and other nuisances from DD1 have been streamlined in a way that has a lot more potential than DD1 ever had, give or take one or two that still need work (like Relationships vs Afflictions). Now, all heroes and enemies get to show off their personalities through the great animations, rather than a small number of static sprites with limited movement. Modern graphics that don't hinge on a flash-like system. Bear in mind that it's a comparison between a 20% early-access title still being worked on, versus a complete product that has been out and expanded on for 6 years (including mod-support and all that jazz, if it is relevant to you).
