I played with a mod that allowed permanent running speed and a rebalance to allow 6 characters in (so you can see everyone's story in the same playthrough) and some other small convenience upgrades. With those changes playing was an absolute blast. The writing is so much better than what I'm used to in this genre. Great followup story if you're familiar with the first game, but that knowledge is not necessary to enjoy it (except for a certain npc). Nice art and quite a deep combat system. Great for people that want to try out different things on different party members (especially when you have six members and can try out everything at the same time ^^)
