I don't get why so many people think that PoEII was a very good game. The dialogue writing in PoEII was cringe worthy...
Obsidian is one of the very best developers out there when it comes to writing. And by contrast it is Larian whose writing has been utterly atrocious in the D:OS games. and remains questionable in BG3. Plus all the other things @Danielbda and @JDCrenton have said.
You must have spent too much time under the rock Obsidian's writing quality is dire right now. PoE2 is the best example of this with a tragically short and boring story. In the case of Larian, you can see progress in every game.
But the gameplay is awesome. And given that it is a game, to me it mathers the most. Regardless wether you think the gameplay in the DOS games is good or not, it is undeniably cheesy with tons of exploits.
You know it's just your opinion? Compared to PoE1, where the fight was tragic, PoE2 is definitely better. It is a pity that they didnt do it in PoE1, maybe then people wouldn't get discouraged so much and the sale of PoE2 would be better. I wouldn't mind a few PoE2 systems going into BG3 but then people would complain that there was even less D&D than there is now.
