I am playing through the first one, but I'm not too big a fan of it, to be honest. I actually don't like the Nemesis system (!) 

Yeah, you're gonna have to expand on that comment for me, friend. 

I'm the type that just wants to play a game where i am always making forward progress. Right now, I'm stuck on a story mission involving getting orcs drunk and am annoyed by how linear and yet difficult it is to sneak past them.

So to kill time and level up, I go after warchiefs around my level. When i lose and the army becomes stronger, I'm not sure where to go next without messing it up and making things harder for myself and i just want to play the damn game, but nothing I'm leveled for is interesting to me and I hate grinding. The Arkham combat is old to me at this point and the game is feeling like a grind.

Huh. I never felt like I had to grind at all, other than to get my last trophy. But that was less grinding, and more manipulating things to create the situation I needed. 

I felt like so many of the missions were super free with how you could approach them, and in terms of stealth I thought it was far superior to other games in the genre at the time, largely because getting spotted wasn't a death sentence. Just break line of sight and you're good to go most of the time. 

It ends up being a death sentence for me when I'm swarmed and when I try to mix up my stealth it never works out. I always seem to have to follow one specific path in order not to get caught. This was also true when doing Ratbag a favor. It just seemed like "climb the rooftops in this order or fuck you, the alarm's going off."

I am excite! The first game was a true surprise, and I actually ended up getting all the trophies, not because I'm a trophy hound (I prefer achievements), but because I loved the game and couldn't get enough. 

I'm excited too. Saw this on Gamefly and was surprised. I played some of the first game, but didn't have enough time to really get into it. I'll be checking out this sequel for sure. 

Please make a movie of this, P.J. . 

I just bought the complete bundle of the first game a couple of months ago. By the time I get around to playing/finishing it hopefully this one will be on sale.
