It's a good game and I enjoy playing it.

However, having played the first Elex, there are some things that annoy me.

1) How you played and finished Elex 1 doesn't have any influence on this game. I mean, I was a Beserker Paladin, lead the armies of the free people against the Albs and won. And now nearly nobody recognizes me? I am not even admitted entrance to the Berserker's place? Like maybe at most 15 years later, people should recognize Jax more.

2) The explanation why Jax has lost all his abilities is crap to non-existent.

3) The quests are very similar to Elex 1.
Build a base, join a faction, find a general -- been there, done that. Even many of the side quests feel terribly familiar. There is even again a guy trying to talk you into a dodgy investment.
Might be they did that on purpose, because it obviously worked in Elex 1, or perhaps that is what gamers requested according to their marketing people. But I would have liked a bit more originality.

I think it would have been better to use a new main character. The ability loss would have been no issue. It would have made sense you needed to gain acceptance anew. It would also have given them the chance to let players customize the main character a bit more (at least the option for a female main character). They could still have had cameos from Elex 1 characters without presuming on how you had played it.

P.S. Why do the children look so out of proportion?

P.P.S. The late game story writing leaves a lot to be desired. Still, I can't wait for the story to continue.
