Evening all,So I have been on the fence about Descent 2nd edition for a while now and have a few questions that can help me make a decision before Christmas time requests!
Thanks in advance for your help!
(1) 2-players
How is it? Does the non-OL player have to play multiple characters (my wife hates doing this)?
(2) Meaningful Choices
Are there meaningful and/or difficult choices during combat? For campaign mode are there any non-combat choices the players make?
(3) Campaign
Do you need to have a full party (ie. does the game scale)? What is there to do after the campaign: can you just "throw down" with random skirmishes PLAYER(s) vs. OL?
(4) OL
How fun is playing the overlord? How feasible is it to win?
(5) Loss
What happens when the players loose / die during a campaign?
(6) Lieutenant packs
Does the base game have all these great miniatures but make me use tokens for certain bosses? Is that what these packs replace? Really would like to understand more about these packs in general.
(7) Non-campaign Skirmishes
For the random, we just feel like playing / throwing down, how fun are non-campaign skirmishes? I understand there is an epic mode which gives both the OL and player some added choices / customization before it begins?
