So one of the problem I can assume from the get go is, what Ending is that game is supposed to consider canon? Because their were several outcomes to the first game, and I doubt this game will pick up all of them, so I assume its the continuation to a specific outcome, and just the intro to is seem to imply things have gone fairly poorly for the MC of the first game, which isn't likely to have been the case should the top three options I'd have gone with in the first game would have been the outcome... which lead me to fear this is basically like XCOM 2, a sequel to the worst case scenario where everything went wrong, if that is the case I seriously doubt its going to be for me.
