* DarkerAndEdgier: The first game, despite the somewhat brutal atmosphere, ended on a EverybodyLives note, with only the already posthumous Metamoq being an exception. In the sequel, many characters die and one [[spoiler:specifically Adrance]] is left for dead by Ghat and Rimat which is notable even if they did not directly kill him. In addition, it also deals with deeper themes of mortality, forgiveness, laws, justice, and familial abuse.

* WretchedHive: Halstedom is back, and somehow even ''worse'' than it was in the previous game when it was in a state of semi-anarchy. Without The Family keeping a semblance of order, and the Enforcers not up to the task as their replacement, the situation in the massive sprawling city has deteriorated immensely to the point many are considering or are already in the process of settling elsewhere, something largely unthought of in the previous game.

Adding to the mystery is we never actually see any in person, and even if Golem is modeled after the humans of his time, that was a very, very long time ago.]]

Also unlike the first game, it is far more open. While not a true WideOpenSandbox, players have far more freedom to do what they want and even have an over-world that can be explored for secrets and collectibles in between story segments.
