It's all about art direction and style. From what I've played in DD2, it's very much the first game but more complex NPCs, which is my own bottleneck. My poor i7-4790k can't handle staying in Vernworth for more than 5 mins lmao. I do like how much attention the art direction got in the castle, was legit jaw dropping first glance. The graphics definitely isn't that much of an issue.

I personally still vastly prefer Elden Ring's wonderfully twisted style, same with anything From puts out. And I can play them on my potato.

By today's standards, that's a pretty weak CPU at this point. I upgraded from mine not long after the Gamers Nexus review that pegged it at about the same performance as a 10th gen i3. I was already planning to upgrade at that point, but it really was a kicker.

oh boy YEP it was a wake-up call lol. Built this thing in 2015 to play Fallout 4, and sadly it was the best that my motherboard could handle. So I just ended up getting myself an i9-14900k, hoping to get 9 more years out of the rest of the parts.
