Loved the first one, this is awesome news to me. As long as they fix the difficulty, it will be an awesome game.
Biggest issue in the game in my opinion was the fact that the easy difficulty basically stopped the Nemesis system from working, so while the early game was phenomenal the mid-late game was ehhhh. It was especially bad because you could keep playing after you finished the game, but by then you were so overpowered that you had to basically die on purpose to get a nemesis generated enemy.
That said, still had tons of fun with the game. It was pretty light on the story, just a shameless Orc Murder Simulator 2k14 and it was pretty great.
