Eh didn't improve as much but...
At least the dude not speaking won't make your computer lag and stuff. Also 3 endings is always better than 1.
I hope this would be a trilogy. Because if it isn't and like you said this is the final episode then I'm really dissapointed.
I hope that I would destroy the three beast and Hornik's evil plan. So I hope a third one would come out with the dude dispaching the third beast and hornik's evil spirit.
Overall the endings I love the best is the Frenship ending because if you leave Mag ( I know her full name) like the romantic ending alone in the prison she commits suicide and also you get to leave with the dude. Although the romantic ending was almost as good as the friendship ending because you get to see mag's dead body unlike the friendship.
Overall I'm saying this game is great like the first. Didn't improve much but at least I can say it improved.
