I cannot even express how disappointed I am with this PFH. I feel robbed of my time.
Lots of focus on romance and cosmetics. The character creator looks beautiful, but is this really what people care about most?
Absolutely zero focus on mechanics aside from a brief talk about difficulty settings and the monk class which told us nothing that wasn't already in the gazette.
Stealth is apparently still broken. No word on spells and spellcasting mechanics, shove, dodge, ability score rolling, multiclassing or any other thing that's been either absent or broken since EA launch. I don't know what I expected, but not this little.
The new 'origin story' is yet another edgy pandering to murderhobos and psychopaths. How did this win over a halfling bard with a soothing voice? We had plenty morally ambiguous or outright evil companions already.
I'd like to think I'm fairly open-minded about controversial things in videogames, let people enjoy what they enjoy. But a crowd cheering over sex with a bear is too much. Entirely too much. What the f*ck is wrong with you Larian?
Right now I feel like after a long corporate presentation about how everything is great but nothing of substance was said. Worse than that, no amount of absinthe is going to let me take Halsin seriously ever again and I feel horrible second-hand embarrassment for anyone involved in the making of that scene.
While I am excited for the game and have faith in Larian given that I loved DOS2...
