i dont see anyhting about PoEs worldbuilding that isnt dry and unimaginitive.
man that perfectly sums up my feelings about PoE. Dry, bland, and somewhat unimaginative. I've tried so hard to get into it but it's just so uninspiring and lacks any real charm. The series also isn't that great at storytelling, which I think is its biggest weakness. There's so much lore but I never felt like it was being pushed on me in an organic way, especially with the first one. The second got a little better about it, but it still suffered IMO.
I also agree with you about Divinity. It isn't the most interesting stuff in the world, but it's a unique take on things like Elves, Gods and and the grey nature of people doing what they think is best, or not (magisters). I really enjoy the lore of the world, and the way the game allows you to digest it at your own pace. The game doesn't take itself too seriously all the time, but doesn't come off as a goofy comedy at the same time.
I know all of this stuff is subjective, and I do see some things that PoE did right. Ultimately it just isn't for me. I guess that's one of the great things about RPGs, though, is that they speak to people in drastically different ways.
