Tone of game is more serious and less fun. Certain dialogue and characters are more reasonable instead of over the top campy. Inventory management annoyed me more this time around due to certain tweaks. I thought the side quest system was sophomorically included and didn't add anything other than filler fluff and so may as well not have been there.

I prefer the sillier over the top tone of the original.

Regardless, it's my opinion. Based on my preferences and that's all I was expressing. You're under no obligation to agree or even be willing to see my points, though it's nice of you to inquire. Luckily we're all able to have differing opinions on trivial bullshit like video games without it having any impact on one anothers' lives. We can all just go on enjoying what we do or don't enjoy.
