Moreover my tastes in crpgs aren't even that good. I never had any problems with Divinity, Pathfinder or assorted nostalgia/russian slop like underrail

    I completely disagree. PoE is the game that got me into crpgs and I wish more RPGs had a similar writing quality

          The sheer volume of PoE's boring flavor text is nauseating

          the stupif fortress is why I dropped it. Didn't want to constantly babysit the fricking thing

        Writing wise, vanilla PoE is a terrible slog from the beginning to the end, White March is fantastic, Deadfire is much worse than the first game but in a different way.

    zoomer RPG. Good RPG but still zoomer. Try planescape torment then you'll appreciate just how much of a throwback PoE is to the CRPG genre at its peak.

    ...i liked the start of PoE. the major town can be a bit of a put off, but its nothing like Baldurs Gate 2 where you're just thrown into a major town - theres build up.

      oh yeah...thats probably what OP is griping about. he should ignore them. i remember my first playthrough, it caused me to stop completely until i picked it back up a few years later after learning that they are backer npcs.

                It's gutted 3.5e simplified down from even NWN2-level with some of the worst encounter design and monster AI in the genre.

                nta but poe encounters are substantially worse. that game has absolutely nothing going for it. it's just obsidian schizos with dunning kruger jerking off over sloppy purple prose arbitrarily describing lamp shades and dirt written by some teen intern.

      I was very disappointed. I think they tried too hard to address complaints from the first game, mainly the one about trash fights, so now it feels like there isn't enough combat.

      If a dev being a leftist being a problem, then I hope you're not playing Pathfinder, Divinity or Disco Elysium. Or hell, BG1-2, since Bioware have always been uber leftists.

    I played until like 60hs into the game when takes fricking half a minute to load every time you change scenario (which is constantly). It was fricking unplayable, and the story was boring me to death (even when most say white march pt1 and pt2 are supposedly the best part of the game)

    I can't really see what people are talking about with this game when it comes to writing. Just kind of feels like it's there, and it does it's job, but I can't really recall any moments that were actually well written as I was reading it and not "looking back, the events of the Godhammer were interesting"
