Thread: Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition):: General:: Has winning 1st Encounter made a difference?

I've played about 6 or so games now, and I'm starting to wonder how many quests have a 1st encounter that is really impactful on the 2nd encounter? Here's a list of what I've played:
- A Fat Goblin
- Castle Daerion
- The Cardinal's Plight
- The Monster's Hoard
- The Dawnblade

In each of them, the outcome of the 1st Encounter had very little bearing on the outcome of the 2nd Encounter. In fact, it was so minor that the Overlords are starting to wonder if maybe they shouldn't worry about the objectives of the 1st Encounter and just hoard Overlord cards so they can unload in the 2nd Encounter. In fact, it seemed like the times when the Heroes won the 1st Encounter, they lost the 2nd because of timely placed OL cards (either a Dash that allowed the villain to dart away and win, or 2 Frenzy cards that dbl-attacked the objective NPC to death, etc).

Have any of you noticed a similar pattern?
