Hi there, I've backed Deadfire yesterday just because I was sad of having finished DOS:II. Almost 180 hours played from beta and 90h to finish the fame with some sidequests not all. Obviously we are on Obsidian forums and it seems normal to read PoE fans but I read some violent comment on DOS:II. Ok I'm a big fan of DOS and a big fan of PoE even Tyranny was great piece of unfinished game. Wasteland II was a masterpiece even in its early release day.
In general i'm a big fan of cRPG and what is really important in those game is story and so author's writing skills. As some people said DOS:II really raised the bar of cRPG with good battle (less broken angles than XCOM:2) and balance, very deep and rich story (if I can feel something from character the game is all good), nice level design, PoE was also great with its world, the background was really good and some quests were masterpieces. Like other said it has bring back the spirit of old cRPG. I have some more enjoyed PoE than Wasteland II which are is the same backyard IMO. Like somebody else said Larian is really creating his own landmark and promoting a certain standard in ©RPG. IMO Divinity II is quite an 3D-isometric Witcher III.
There is something i'm sure : if you like cRPG or tactical RPG the future is bright. Divinity II (2017), PoE II (2018), Wasteland III (2019)... Also No Truce with Furries. Maybe some others to discover. But for me Obsidian, Larian and inXile are my first class dope provider.
