See, I *adore* the Pillars of Eternity games. Absolutely love them with all my heart. But...


... ... Agree to disagree. *squeel* I am *still* salty about a long list of things concerning the ending of PoE2. q _ q


Regarding WotR (and KM, for that matter) - I get why it is not everyone's cup of tea. Truly! The games are very long - to a point where it grows tedious for most players - and it makes the replay value lower for more "casual" players as just two playthroughs will be an extreme time-commitment. At the same time, WotR has so many choices that matters which makes increases the replay value - but it is simply too much for most people. Myself included - I played through both WotR and KM *once*. I have so many great ideas I wanna try, but there is *no way in the nine hells* that I go through all that time again just to experience the differences.

And the thing is, there are so many "chores" to do - the crusader thing (which granted has an auto-solution) and insanely huge maps with sometimes ridiculously difficult encounters that needs to be cleared. ... And let's not even get into the walking simulation. X]

If you are a heavy roleplayer, you still need to put up with massive amounts of combat and the time between dialogues can be nothing short of tedious. I poked my companions regularly during the story - but usually they had like one new conversation piece per act... Which was really dull and saddening, because I do like Owlcat's writing.

Honestly! If one would combine the best aspects from DoS, PoE, DA and Owlcat's Pathfinder - we'd have an absolutely *amazing* game at hand! All three games have things they do very, very, very well - but all three also have shortcomings that greatly affect their quality. For now, I am just happy to see the CRPG genre getting back in the market. c: Hopefully we'll get many amazing, fresh titles in the future!
