Their voices are muffled because of zoom distance (LOL 3D), and furthermore their acting doesn't pack the same vibrance and personality as before: Of immediate note is the fact that Heroes can't be heard. Probably the same reason why they recycled a lot of sounds from the first one. Hiring the same Advisor's voice-actor from Majesty gave the game as much soul as Ron Perlman gave to Fallout 3, but probably enough for most dumb fucks to claim the game has the 'same feel' as the first one. Is it so difficult nowadays to create your own artistic style? Does every game have to be a carbon copy from another? This is getting beyond ridiculous. All the more proof that the developers failed to grasp the basic concepts behind Majesty. It's quite ironic that the aesthetics fall prey to that which the first game parodies: generic fantasy. Games are supposed to provide visual information quickly: less time guessing, more time playing. Buildings also tend to fall into the background along with random debris and neutral buildings, adding to the confusion. Heroes no longer stand out from the scenery since they blend with the beige/green/brown terrain all too well (you know, team colors are used for a reason) and they all lost their distinctive look (gone is the orange-gowned Thief and awkward-hatted Paladins Mages now look like generic explorers, even after upgraded Warriors look like bandits instead of knights and Clerics as if taken seriously from D&D). The 3D transition is horrible, as it always seems to happen. It completely misses what made the original Majesty great and stand out from the rest.

I just tried a couple of missions and man is it a very bad game.
