Huh? PoE2 linear? It’s biggest narrative downfall was its open nature. I have been on Obsidian forums since PoE2 fig campaign, and while the game received plenty of criticism (and most of it fair) none of that was there. Armor system wasn’t great solution. Ship combat and relationship systems were bad money and time sinks. Bad balance on launch. Other then that.. just narrative problems?

And considering how poorly PoE2 sold, I am afraid PoE1 wasn’t as beloved as sales indicated. Shame, both pretty darn good games.

Most of the stuff I looked up in regards to comments for PoE2 was reddit I think. Not going to spend literal hours scrubbing through Obsidian forms, I just spent a little over an hour looking up stuff on google, and peoples comments in regards to it after a poster her carried on about how PoE was so much better. But the gist of my comment was this, every RPG game I have ever played, there as been an aspect on the forums that LITERALLY complain about the same things (as in the ones I posted above). I mean it is so common, it is almost a meme.

Eventually, I plan on playing PoE, hell I will probably even play PoE2.
