Hey, I just found out that a spiritual successor to BG2 is coming out in a week so I spent most of yesterday slacking off at work while reading about POE and watching devs play it on youtube.
I really wanted to like the game but all it made me want to do was go back and play BG2 again. The UI looks inconvenient and click intensive. Is there no way to assign party abilities to a single bar and use keyboard shortcuts for each of them? Constant pausing to give basic instructions is a turn off and as far as I could tell there was no party AI. Combat in general seems more focused on attrition than strategy. The last straw for me was when I saw the fireball spell and instead of a massive explosion that incinerates everything and makes your whole party spread out and run for cover... a little campfire appeared.
Am I missing something? The story, graphics, and dialogue/scripted events look great. I'd give the game a chance and download a demo but right now a 45$ price tag doesn't seem justified.
