I see spawn rate has been mentioned a lot so I won't bring that up. But I will say I was fairly disappointed to get new party members only to find they all just had the same basic heal skill. Perhaps I didn't level them high enough, but I was able to get through the game without anyone learning skills. But I think the combat could be made much more enjoyable by giving everyone their own unique flair. I did get a chuckle out of people being surprised to have strangers in their homes despite them being infested with all sorts of monsters. I'm not sure the vampires were the real issue here haha.
