i don't think i expected anything the first one didn't offer. and i played that one without the infinite ferrystone, the walking wasn't as bad to me then. maybe the stretches are bigger in this one, but they aren't really full of things to do to justify the plodding back and forth. i haven't seen any legit dungeons or major areas to explore that aren't small caves, and the random events are just "culling" a few wolves. there was one moment where i thought i was finally in for an epic adventure through an ancient temple, but i was... wrong, lol

it kind of seems to me like they went hard on no fast travel and bigger stretches of land to walk to justify skimping out on areas to explore and artificially pad out your play time. and like i said, i could go wander around, but to what end? fight goblins, find a helmet that's worse than what you can buy at the third area of the game, dick around for a few more level gains, go fight the boss, credits roll. the pacing is weird once you get to battahl, they HURRY you right to the end of the game if you don't know where to stop. anyway, the difference is, now there's no end/postgame content to mess with. i didn't expect too much, they subtracted from the first game
