10 Awesome Video Game Features That Suddenly Went Missing In The Sequel

10. Custom Heroes - Darkest Dungeon

Unlike the original Darkest Dungeon, Darkest Dungeon 2 tries to provide its cast of characters with more development. Instead of being a randomly generated set of color-swapped sprites, the heroes in the sequel all have set names, personal story quests, and even a set list of personalities that affect their dynamic with other party members.

This is all great for fleshing out the characters, but at the same time, it does take away one key and highly entertaining feature of the original: Customization.

Because each hero is treated as an individual and not a class type anymore, you only get one of each, and you're limited in how you can customize them. You can no longer give them silly names, change their colors, and, worst of all, there’s no way to get duplicates, meaning that the days of weird team compositions, like a field trip of four antiquarians or three plague doctors are over.

Sure, the more individualistic approach to the heroes in Darkest Dungeon 2 makes them more intriguing story-wise, but sometimes you just want to have a bit of fun. Especially in a doom-and-gloom world like that of Darkest Dungeon.
