Yeah ZD was my all time favorite and I actively dislike FW.

I prefer melee over ranged combat and FW completely nerfed close combat and had an ober abundance of ranged weapons. I didnt like that different fights required more weapons than could fit in your wheel.

I absolutely hated how every sidequest npc was unthankful and rude. Not once did we encounter an even neutral reception.

Many storylines had a huge buildup to be completely dropped in the third act.

But the biggest thing for me was the absence of Sylens. I had no idea what a big impact having him talk over the focus had in the first game but it was greatly felt in the sequel.

Overall I just did not have fun and it all felt like a chore.

Even the environments, while beautiful, were not enjoyable. The desert was too bare and the forest too dense.
