Dunno why they changed engines since it looks the same from what I've seen on YouTube compared to the first game, should have just always used that first engine.
The reason they changed engine is because the first one was developed by Obsidian and ran on their proprietary Onyx engine which they don't license to anyone. After Ubi and Obsidian parted ways due to Obsidian's work on their own IP's Pillars/Tyranny etc, this necessitated the use of a new engine.
