What players say

Players call it a worthy sequel that expands on the first game with more locations, quests, and freedom, but they warn that the clunky UI, dated mechanics, and a punishing opening area make it tough for newcomers. The writing and humor get praise, though some say the jokes show their age. Most recommend using mods for stability and quality of life.
