Wish Saddler and Salazar had more screen time
I like both of their designs better and even voices (Saddler's OG tryhard dracula voice was annoying, making him more American sounding fits). However, it feels like we barely got to "interact" with them. Salazar had what, like a minute and a half of showing himself? Gotta admit though, him getting shot mid sentence was hysterical.

And Saddler. I just find it weird he wasn't even introduced until the game is 90% over. I know they cut out the radio transmissions to remove the goofiness but they could at least have added more scenes. There was no real big bad boss setup, it kind of just happened after meeting him 20 minutes ago.

Everything that took away from the game being a corridor shooter was carefully sterilized.

They took away screen time from Saddler, Salazar, Ada and Hunnigan while arbitrarily gave it to Luis and Mike of all people.

The former two is arguably the most painful, because Salazar's area is the largest in the game and Saddler used to be a presence from the opening hours, while he's now a mere portrait for the majority of the game and defeating him becomes a trivial affair.
IMO makes the story more cohesive. As a kid i always wondered why Saddler didn't just kill or incapacitate Leon at the Church or at the Castle when he kills Louis .

Him just appearing at the end makes way more sense, as he does what any villain does, takes the oportunity to incapacitate Leon both times and tries to stop him.

As for Salazar, i think he took almost the time screen as he had in the previous game.

I'm pretty sure Saddler wanted Leon to become one of his minions along with Ashley. Leon would have made an unstoppable right hand tbh

I do miss the radio banter but I think their screen time is mostly fine. Saddler still appears in all the same places as in the original except now he appears to Leon and Ashley "in their heads", like visions, rather then being there in person. Only big difference is his "Kill Luis" scene in the castle has been replaced with his new "possess Ashley" scene.

We'll probably get to see more of at least Saddler in the Ada DLC since she has a boss fight with him.

They also gave Saddler a bit more background story, which ties him to the Island.
If you find and read the scattered Stonetablets, you will notice that they are written by different members of the Saddler Family, which were incarssareted alongside other Inmates on this former Prison Island
