The continuation of the legendary RPG series, which continues to absorb even more than the first part. The world has changed its appearance radically: from the Colony, which was under the barrier and was, roughly speaking, an exclusion zone, to a limited open world, where people no longer survive, but live their lives (or at the expense of someone, the war has not gone anywhere).

• Innovation in the form of professions, which, on the one hand, characterize the style of play of the player/main character, and on the other hand, provide certain bonuses during the game.
  
• A new and very interesting world, which hides many challenges and rewards (sometimes in the most unexpected places).
  
• Hardcore remained the same as in the first part. In the second part, it probably became, perhaps, more expanded, as there were more locations where the player/main character could die.
  
• The Night of the Raven expansion. Probably one of the first expansions I played ever, and it was simply incredible. The developers did not use existing presets and models, but created a new location, which differs in new factions, mobs and quests.
  
• A large variety of quests, the solution of which can change depending on the appearance of the main character or the faction to which he belongs. And first of all, on the choice of the player/main character. There are almost no template quests here.
  
• A generous selection of answers in dialogue windows.
  
• The ability to study lore through books and notes that are found during the game. They are not too long, but interesting to read.
  
• The setting of a medieval city, with its quarters, which at first glance can be quickly studied. But that's only at first glance, the main thing is just to start...

• A combat system that lacks area attacks, using one-handed or two-handed weapons. Only focus on a single target, and only that. Which complicates the battle with 2+ opponents.

One of those games where I got familiar with the term "DLC". The legendary second part of the series, which will forever remain in my heart, and in which I will never lose interest in playing it again.
