I agree with you--so much of the "criticism" of OS 2 I have read is from people who very often simply haven't learned how to play the game--and are still stubbornly insisting that it "play like the last game of its type that I played recently," etc.--hooo boy, you know you've got a humdinger when they talk like this as if it makes sense...;) "The last game of its type that I played"...(Please. Don't. Hit. Me. Again...! Stop...;))
Probably because the new mechanical changes came out of nowhere and were not justified by the dev team.
Most of the issues on the forum are valid. People like Stabbey bring up a lot of them; here, you can search
his thread history yourself. He's not the only one.
This game has a lot wrong with it, but also a lot right with it. You blame user error, but quests like Withermoore's Soul Jar requires you to go to a tower that has absolutely nothing to do with Withermoore to complete, nor has he mentioned anything about it.
But, whatever. You can keep calling it a "mastapiece, bby!", but just know it's super cringe and there's an
incredible laundry list (GreatGuardsman, 10/9/17) of stuff that made the game horribly bad.
