Very cool that they're expanding on the use of the knight. When the ranger was also so good at fighting it made the knight seem a little redundant.

Bought the first one about 20 months ago.   Guess I should actually play it at some point.

If you don't a pony will get slaughtered and made into salami. Actually, I like salami, so don't buy it please!

Yea that was definitely a problem in the first game. At first I found myself using the knight for combat, but once you upgraded the thief he was pointless really. The shield was sort of useful, I guess, though,

I rained death upon my foes with the thief by the end of the game, it was fantastic.

I found the shield good for those parts with the falling spiked balls, fireballs etc. Otherwise I was mostly the thief and used her high jump and grappling hook to get past most puzzles. If not her the wizard. The Knight wasn't bad with that hammer either, good for killing a group of skellies with one swing.

Great physics puzzles, fun co-op, crazy cool characters who all feel different (in good ways). It's a neat game.

I think I'm going to just pop some pills and start grinding my teeth in preparation for this game's insane color palette.

Man, it was a little hard watching Patrick running through the Unatco building all confused, throwing soda cans and wacking stuff. That was not the best showcase of Deus Ex there. %)

He can sprinkle water? He's the most useful game character ever.
