  1. Indeed it is but that not to say you should not learn lesson from the past to improve the present But POE2 I have big hopes for as if POE was this good then POE2 can surely only get better maybe we will see
  2. Hey well that is interesting But then again I consider games like theses like a book some books you will like some you won't. Oh I do not think you would like TOB if you don't like BG much but it does get a tad insane in TOB like where your fighting I think it's 5 dragons at the same time but in the expansion your Equipment is on the Insane Level Like if you a Paladin you might have the two handed sword Carsomyr http://baldursgate.wikia.com/wiki/Carsomyr In TOB this becomes a +6 weapon with the right eqipment or race you could become 100% magic resistance with boots of speed Equipped (Bug or lazy programming Hasted you instead oops) that would increase you attack speed as well you would become a unstoppable killing machine immune to all magic
  3. Hey thanks for the Reply I can see it from your aspect It seems I am opposite side of the table but then again you will always get contrast as different people will enjoy different aspects end of the day. You Probably would not enjoy Planscape Torment then as that is kinda mad I've got that new one Tides Of Numenera And even I am confused but slowly getting to grips with the story seems like it could be fun.
  4. Interesting Wish List and I have to be honest I don't agree with many of them? Reduce Party as someone said you could just take 4 members you are not forced to fill all 6? No level cap nah that would be pointless as you would get to a stage where you are untouchable unless monster level with you but I fail to see the point even then. Removing rubbish traits agreed No romancing mate you clearly been playing to much Dragon Age where the romances where forced In BG2 they where perfect as the interaction was there from even other NPCs like Aerie and Viconia who I had in my party for the conversations alone during talk to aerie I mean just from this small bit of text you get the idea of 2 contrasting personalty in a instant and it's even kinda funny that why romancing should be in for a interaction tool to help bring the NPC characters to life.
  5. What was it about Baldurs gate you disliked out of curiosity? I personally not a fan of the first Baldurs Gate but the 2nd one I did enjoy icewind dale as well did not play Torment but I do have tides of Numenera just started on that got to admit feeling a tad confused with the story but I am getting to grips with it now seems inventive. I also did enjoy NW and even NW2 prob lean toward NW as I felt NW2 was dummed down a tad but still a good game
  6. Hello To All you CRPG Gamers I love this type of game since I played the classic many know of Baldurs Gate 2 I did not play First one until later but to be honest I prefer the 2nd one by far.. I was a Backer for Pillars Of Eternity as my hope was renewed after Dragon Age Let me down after Origins which I do recommend I enjoyed Origins a lot but how do they stack up to my Favourite still BG2 I own that remastered Enhanced as well played recently and I can still see why it was so enjoyable the depth in the game is stunning from the Characters you can get attached and even some seemingly random events that spring up from all over the place but that is enough of that back to My thought on Pillars. I have to be honest I think the Game Is Great but the Story I found boring and the character well lacked character The battle and spells and Balance of the game overall was good but I don't know it lacked the excitement for me at least. Reason on characters being boring well there very few side quest for them I mean in BG2 you there was a rarely a moment when something would not happens like a messenger would come for one of your NPC Helpers and you would suddenly get a new quest to go somewhere to help them out and it would quite often open up that character story that allows you to get more attached to them in this it's like you have conversations here and there a couple side quest for them but I don't know just lacked appeal to me. No romancing of NPC I feel was a huge Mistake you know there no need to be sordid about it I played BG2 and the romancing was not sordid as such but it actual helped you get the idea of there character from the dialogue for the romancing options and on top of that IT was even incorporated into the game story like when Bhodi kills your romanced NPC and if you read the book you find out there is a way to resurrect them with the black heart of Bhodi. I thought I was just being nostalgic tho so I did replay Baldurs Gate 2 Enhanced and I ain't is the sad truth there a lot more game play in Pillars in terms of time you would need to complete it but it just not as good in story or in excitement. This is not me saying you should not get Pillars as it is a Great Game one of the best CRPG for quite some time but I would lower your expectations the game is a solid edition to the genre and Obsidian and Paradox as well as the backers should be proud of this game and I would recommended to anyone who enjoys this type of game I've even backed the Pillars Of Eternity 2 in the hope it builds on this and get way better. In fact what I would say is Pillars Of Eternity is more like Baldurs Gate Good Story Good Game play Good characters so my thought are maybe POE2 will Developed further and have that edge that BG2 had guess we will have to wait and see Thanks for those that read reply if you like I happy to see what other people thought?
