DS1 vs DS2

I have been playing DS1/LoA Legends of Utrae to be exact. Doing this I have discovered things I like about both DS1 and DS2 and things I dislike about both.
I like that DS1 has eight party members, two more than DS2. I like the radar in DS2 showing where monsters, vendors, guests and other things are located. I feel lost playing DS1 after playing DS2. I like the way characters move in DS1 it requires fewer mouse clicks. I also like the fact that in DS1 you do not use different mouse keys for movement and attack. I like the fact that in DS1 your character can have equipped both a ranged and melee weapon at the same time and does not require un-equipping one type to equip the other. I do like the fact in DS2 you can carry two melee weapons (Dual Wield). I like the configuration of the spell book in Broken World which gives you 2 more active spell slots than DS1 and 4 auto cast slots. Even the DS2 Spell Book has advantages over the DS1 spell book. Four active spell slots and two auto cast spell slots. I like the specialties that exist is DS2 giving one some very useful powers, this is missing from DS1. I like the yellow stash trunks of DS2 so that one does not have to carry all your inventory with you. I like the Pets that exist in Broken World and are missing in DS1. I like the summoned characters of DS1 better than DS2, because there are actually mods that exist for DS1 that allow you to summon people. There was actually a mod that allowed you to summon real people who where members of Herena_Forge. You may or may not recall Herena_Forge, but we had some very fun and funny DS1 mods there. A pack rabbit for carrying things (like a pet in Broken World). A gun that shot frogs that made the monsters croak. So I can say that there are good things about all the versions of the game. Overall I would have to give the best version of the game title to Broken World.
