This second playthrough was done in co-op, with my brother deciding the primary direction of the playthrough. It was another great experience with this masterpiece of an RPG, full of surprise and creativity. Playing this time as a self-important, unempathetic Red Prince, I was greatly amused by a number of quest outcomes, including killing Fane's questline by reasserting my status as party leader in a moment where he needed to chime in. While my first playthrough was moving and optimistic, the game adapted considerably to accommodate a totally different emotional experience for me (while my brother simultaneously experienced the emotional fulfilment I received first-time around). It's just so, so good.
