You see, I am the opposite. I found little to like in D:OS world and characters. It's incoherent, shallow and flat. PoE world had a lot of thought put into it, characters properly reflect the world they live in, and whole thing is believable and interesting. It wasn't always as easy to get into nor engaging as it could and should be, but I felt the more I invested in PoE the more I got out. Moment to moment storytelly can falter at times (especially PoE1) overall journey is well worth it. D:OS, on the other hand, is disposable, forgettable nonesense.


This is exactly my take as well. I found D:OS to be mediocre, and my antipathy towards the game begins with the setting. It is gawdawful. Easily the worst game setting I have ever experienced. And then on top of that you add in silly story and characters, shallow character development, ....
