This is the game where it tries to be big and dramatic and kill a character and then in the very next area has a comedy sidequest where the bad guy pays you to commit suicide and you get to collect because the resurrection mechanic is fully diagetic and is really happening in the world.

Also, the mission hub with all the shops and NPCs buggering off until you finish a dungeon so you can't do anything there is criminal in a loot driven game.

Needed more sidequests too. Lots of the fun in Blands 1 was driving around doing odd jobs for random weirdos, and only Ellie's clan feud chain really delivered on that in 2.
I actually hated the sidequests in 1. Too much running hither and yon and back to hither every time a new quest came up. Let me just explore an area, shoot everything that moves and most of the things that don't, and then not have to come back to it again for at least an hour.
