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.
