I loved the first game though I never completed it. It's exactly my sort of game, couple this with the likes of the witcher and I am in my element. I know there was a lot of uproar around the views of the person who created the first game but you can't take anything away from the original game.
The trailers for this look more of the same but much better quality, so more polished shall we say.
I will have to get back and complete the first one before it's out!
