I think this post highlights my biggest disappointing start for any game... ever... here with Pillars of Eternity 2.
I make a copy of my PoE 1 character, a Priest of Eothas, and imported my previously saved campaign.
I watch the intro. I meet Berath. S/he tells me that Eothas has returned and they don't know his intentions. I respond that I want to find out also.
Berath says I have to be their champion. I say no (because I'm a Priest of Eothas).
Then I lose the game and get end credits. Not even 20 minutes played. I'm very much not joking. The game is simply over if you don't accept.
I literally sighed and closed the game, then went and played Civ: Beyond Earth. I haven't tried again yet with PoE 2.
I thought today was going to be an awesome launch, but getting sandbagged into being Berath's champion is a serious downer for me.
