Los matrimonios pueden acabar mal. Peleas por la tenencia de los hijos, luchas en torno a la posesión de los bienes materiales, tal vez alguna visita a la comisaría tras una discusión particularmente fuerte. Pero sin dudas que Cassia de Tenos la ha...

Blackguards 2 ist kürzer als Teil 1, ist billiger als Teil 1 und vor allem: Es ist schlichtweg besser als Teil 1. Zwar verläuft die Story diesmal komplett linear und es gibt deutlich weniger Nebenquests als im letzten Teil, allerdings ist das vollkommen...
