I have been playing about 4 hours. Explored all the areas I have found as best I can. I can't reach the island because of the broken bridge, but I have sort of run out of stuff to do. In Baldurs or lots of other RPG's there are lots of sidequests, everywhere you go but I can't find the similar thing with POE.
CAED NUA, seemed to have nothing, I cleared all the energy.
Also is healing ONLY able to be done with camping which requires supplies, or going back to town which is a PITA.
I just keep expecting the game to open up, but it's not happening for me.
Also levelling seems to happen so infrequently.
