Bugs. I stopped playing PoE after buying WM1&2 and finding some time after returning from that section that I had a duplicate NPC in Caed Nua and their 'actual' character when I went to them had all items stripped. It was quite a few hours after the return and I don't think I should have to replay all that just because such a fundamental bug scrubbed all a character's gear. I hate bugs like that so much, I'd rather have less content than more bugs.

Indeed. Fills you with confidence eh?

I wish. I had problems too. I'm not fancying PoE 2 since I was replaying PoE and when coming back from WM did not realise for too long that I had a duplicated NPC and a party member lost all inventory. If things like that are not fixed.... I don't need that stress in the next game too.

Thanks. Not as rare as I had hoped then. I'll not risk starting a new game. A bug so serious still being in the game is quite inexcusable. WIsh I hadn't bought any of it now, especially WM1&2.

I've just encountered this "bug". I recruited Zahua back into the party some time after not using him for a while after completing WM1&2. All his items gone. I'm not going to replay all those hours all over again. I'm done with PoE. I haven't been this annoyed with a title or Developer/Publisher since ME3....

Geee, thanks for the sarcasm. The dragon character itself was fine. Some dragons can be grumpy or nasty. Like any sentient being. And no, a Dragon doesn't have to be in a castle. Though I don't mind if they are. The cave I found the hardest fight in the game (for my party that is) is a dingy, *bleep*y, small cave that a peasant bandit would think twice about setting up in. For me, after ten attempts, I have given up. I am sure there are people on one of the hardcore modes who can do it one try. I'm not one of them. Since it's not effectively possible to flee I don't buy the "you can go away and come back" point. Reloading multiple times to simulate "leaving" doesn't help immersion/RPing.....

I don't agree with some of the language, but I "get" what the OP is saying. I've been quite disappointed overall with WM1&2.

Personally, I agree with the topic. I find the dragon fights, especially the Alpine dragon, to be.... not at all fun to play. It's not even in an epic setting for the difficulty. It's in a crappy cave in the middle of nowhere.
