Probably. I can't imagine they will fuck up dd2 based on dark arisen and ddon.
Somehow they made a game with the most generic fantasy creatures quite good. The original and the now dead dd online both had their share of jank, but probably my favourite monster climbing mechanics which I still think are better than any mh game I have tried, and hands down the most enjoyable and rewarding spell casting mechanic, especially the ddon version. The quest handling is more traditional than fromsoft's figure it out yourself approach and I don't remember anything particularly bad about it. A lot of the dungeons and caves in ddon were just cut and paste segments that you start to recognize after a while, but I didn't find it bothered me really. Rather than that I expect 2 will have more unique and purpose built environments.
