Game Plot

While the main storyline remains linear, focusing on Indřich (Henry) from Skalica, the side quests offer significant variability and multiple outcomes. The sequel picks up directly where the first game ended, but newcomers needn't worry—the first game's story is recapped at the beginning. Expect a larger, darker narrative expanding beyond the localized scope of the original, featuring unexpected twists and brutal details, primarily set in the expansive city of Kuttenberg. Many characters from the first game will also return.

Building upon the original, the gameplay offers improved progression, allowing players to specialize as warriors, rogues, or diplomats. Combat is smoother and more accessible, incorporating dialogue options during fights and advanced negotiation systems. Romance options are also expanded. Firearms are introduced, adding a unique, albeit unpredictable, element to combat. The reputation and morality system is more sophisticated, with NPCs reacting to even subtle player actions.
