I've got it and all the expansions including RTL but don't really know much about the changes in this update.

I want this and I want it bad. Never tried the original because it seemed overly long (though I quite like Doom), but Road to Legend made me want to buy it all. I hope the second ed can do campaign play in a shorter timeframe.

Campaign play is the biggest feature right out the door in this edition. Apparently a campaign is played in around 20 hours - 9 quests, so a lot faster than RtL.

The campaign is made of an intro, 5 act I quests, 10 act II quests, 2 interludes and 2 finales.
Of 5 act I quests, you only play 3. Whether you win or not will affect which 5 of the 10 act II quests are playable (the 2 unplayed act I quests are treated as overlord wins for the purpose of deciding which act II quests are playable). You only play 3 act II quests out of the available 5. The interludes and finales are chosen depending who wins most quest (act I quests for interlude and act II quests for finales). The winner of the finale wins the campaign.

Just sold my first edition after about half a dozen plays. Just didn't live up to my own expectations and so I'm excited to see if this version reignites the dungeon crawling urge.
