After 27.6 hours (according to the game stats), I have completed the second book of the Eschalon triliogy. Set a few years after Book I, Eschalon: Book II continued the story of the main character from the first game. Some suspension of disbelief is required, however, as your character has been reset to level 1 with corresponding attributes and skills. Book II took place in some new areas, most notably Amireth. The gameplay was very similar to its predecessor. However, there were some new additions. In Book II, equipment can degrade and requires repair. Also, hunger and thirst are factors so you need to stock up on food and drink. All in all, I enjoyed playing both games back to back. In fact, I intend to install Book III next to complete the final part of the series.

By the end of Book II, Bomani was Level 18, just one level higher than he ended Book I.
