My first impression of the game was the locking up of my PC shortly after taking a swing in the first fight of the game. (Which was not an improvement to say the least. The original version would usually freeze my PC at the second fight....)
However, after eventually making it through that first area (which my computer seems to dislike immensely) I really noticed a deal of improvement from the original version. A few pros and cons:
+The quicker load times were a savior (most of the reason I didn't finish the original version is that I grew tired of watching a progress bar crawl by)
+As mentioned before, much better dialogue in some areas.
+Graphics/animation does feel cleaner (could be my imagination though)
+Inventory is much easier to work with.
-As mentioned before; same face + different color pants != enhancement;
-There was mention of more animations during conversations...I haven't noticed any. There is still that dull/static pose with the occasional shrug.
-Zoltan is still too ugly to look at for very long.
