The narrative follows a linear path, but side quests offer branching possibilities. Henry (Indřich) from Skalica returns, undergoing a player-influenced transformation. The story picks up where the first game left off, but newcomers can easily follow along thanks to a detailed recap. Expect a darker, larger-scale story encompassing entire kingdoms and featuring numerous twists. Kuttenberg takes center stage as a vast, richly detailed location populated by diverse characters, many returning from the original game.

While core gameplay remains similar to the first game, improvements are evident. Character progression is more diverse, allowing players to specialize as warriors, rogues, or diplomats, or blend skills. Combat is smoother and more accessible, yet retains its challenge. New features include in-combat dialogue, enhanced negotiation systems, romantic storylines, and the introduction of unreliable firearms. A more sophisticated reputation and morality system ensures consequences for player actions.
