Even though I was able to get a refund within seven days, I still regretted buying LoS 2. It was crap, but the completionist inside of me wanted to complete it.
The first game was no masterpiece, either. They padded its length to such an extreme that the first part of the campaign (chapter 2, I believe) went on forever. It really destroyed any such pacing, and made me hate the thing for a while.
Things got better once unnecessary, one-note quests such as one where you had to collect crystals disappeared, but it was never a great game.
Please die, Lords of Shadow.
It's dead already.
