Howdy,
I know I've discussed the topic briefly with some people at the club, but I thought I'd make a quick post just to give my 2 cents on 2E.
I've only played one game so far and I have to say it's not too different to 1E, However a few things have obviously changed, The upgrade system is the main change in my eyes, and I feel like it adds a lot to the game, you can take the same characters in two different games and have them each play differently to the last, There is an issue I believe with pigeon holing in that there are some upgrades you would never go without(IE, "The true mother" and "Rapid Growth" on Nekima).
I feel like they have added a bit of versatility and flavour to the game, which imo is a great thing, some of the rules/characters have been dumbed down, but it's made the game more accessible and fun, which on the whole for me has made the game a more desirable hobby, as there will be more people to play with.
Personally I'm a casual Malifaux player and I play for Fun, I can see where a malifaux power gamer might get upset, but tbh, I don't think Malifaux is meant to be played competitively, That's why we have WMH/WFB etc.
All in all, I'm impressed and I'll be sinking a large lump of my next pay cheque on some more Malifaux models.
