Draksensang is like the Witcher re-imagined by a cilldren's writer
As a fan, I would consider this as a slap into the face of the designers.
Because Aventuria - and Drakensang especially - was originally *never* be designed to be as gritty as The Witcher's universe ...
The *original* Aventuria / TDE even had a *strong* fairy-tale tougch on it - by design.
However, during the last decade that became more and more lost, and Aventuria became more and more dark.
Of which you see very little within the game. In that respect it is therefore quite "retro".
I do hope that Drakensang 2 will be even more so ... Actually, it is designed to please the fans even further, because it takes place during a time of Aventuria's history that was around the time when the makers of TDE decided to give Aventuria an ongoing history ... That was I think around the first and/or the second edition of TDE.
So, to many fans Drakensang 2 will be a travel back into the past, to a time when "everything was better", some might say (but which need not be the case, because the adventures of the first and the second edition of TDE were mostly dungeion crawls, and some *very* weird adventures that are nowadays not considered "canon" anymore ...)
The fans will very much enjoy it. Because all elements are there from the time when they "grew up with TDE", so to say.
With newer graphics, of course.
