I’ve put about 10 hours into it so far after finishing KC:D1 a couple months ago and it seems to be just a continuation of the first. A couple of notes:
1. They actually use the story to explain why Henry is now reset compared to (presumably) your very advanced Henry at the end of KC:D1. It’s a little ham handed but I appreciate it. I certainly couldn’t have written a better explanation.
2. I’ve heard that you can engage in a gay story line and have Hans be your love interest. I’m not calling that “woke” bc (unless I see otherwise) it’s only an option if you try to get that outcome. Same was true of my favorite RPG – KOTOR. But unless you’re trying to make the game gay, it doesn’t seem like it will be.
3. In-game differences all seem better though I forgot how annoying it is when you’re a non-capable fighter in the beginning and getting no wrecked by two normal bandits.
I’ll update (if allowed) if I come across any woke story lines or my initial understanding about the gay love story line was wrong.
