I liked the look of the original pre-release but found it too confusing to play - lack of any sort of ingame map just made it all the more annoying.

On the other hand, my maw loved it - finishing it multiple times and she's really looking forward to the sequel.

Wasn't the original - despite the claims of evilness - basically just you helping villagers by retrieving items and stopping monsters and such? Certainly there was no selling people into slavery, destroying entire towns or slaughtering innocents.

Ah good; I will probably check this out. Have often thought about getting Overlord after playing the demo, but then I thought I may as well just wait for the sequel.

I really enjoyed the orginal and I hope the sequel surpasses it. For me, the original's humour and minions were great.

They didn't have persistent town destruction or a slave market but you could slaughter the "innocent" peasants and either save or wipe out the remnants of the elves, save or destroy their sacred grove and so on.

For example, the first mission/plea for help you get is that the halflings have stolen the villagers food, when you recapture it you have the option of giving it back to the poor starving villagers or killing them.

The first one never felt evil enough, though.
