I respect they stuck with the same writer, keeps some cohesion to the tonality of the games. Like others, I wasn't especially into the story of the first game- but I think its important to remember that ultimately in video games the writing seems to take a back seat to everything else. You can have the best script in the world, but it can be torn to shreds through editing and pacing and the actual directing.
This game has me convinced that aliens are visiting the planet and have been visiting for many years. Where else could we have gotten the technology from?
