Oh comeon. Criticizing score before being able to play the game. Scores are stupid anyway. Though as I would give PoE1 7/10, 8 is an improvemenet. The few reviews I glanced through did have some issues with the game. We will see. It will take weeks before I form my opinion. while I agree with you in general, that gamespot review was bad to say the least, in the sense am wondering if the reviewer played the original or deadfire saying stuff like "Eder changed and started smoking in deadfire" or "the game is part turn based" like makes really wonder how much effort he put in there so am ignoring that gamespot review. other negative reviews I read seem to bring a few good points though. I'll form my opinion in a month or so. Also am glad the narrator isn't voiced in most of the game, it was awfull in DOS2 it would have been awfull in POE2.

While rogue/cipher/ranger is bad singelclass maby, as multiclass they can add alot so don´t see them as total trash. Rogue can add 100%+ dmg to auto attacks (with diffrent talents). Cipher have big melee nuke. Ranger got good bonuses for a ranged focused char (focused on using ranged auto attacks) and add another meat shield. Ciphers aren't bad as single class, they still do good damage while has having CC that only second to wizards maybe. they also have one of if not the best buff in the game in defensive mind web(I think it's a tier 8 power so only to single class), can give free empower, have an pretty strong permanent lash and are one of the 3 classes with a reliably infinite resource.

I would say so, given the fact that you have abilities which literally upgrade how much damage your animal companion does, and what types of attacks it has. Considering a weapon is simply a tool to cause damage to someone else... and your animal companion can do that, it IS a weapon. You don't have to hold a weapon in your hand... like a grenade, or missile you have fired by pushing buttons. Given you can specifically tell your animal companion WHO or WHAT to attack, that makes it a SENTIENT weapon. https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/weapon weapon noun1A thing designed or used for inflicting bodily harm or physical damage. so according to you, chanters summons are also weapons, and so are wizard spells?

Am also a sucker for any ultimate summon type spell, so no druid/priest/wizard (all 3 have intriguing summons on power level 9)multiclasse for me. Likely will have the dwarf side kick or a hireling(based on my littel bro) as a pure chanter too. Everything else though, am multiclassing, it's just too fun for me.

Well, if not, you could have used DOS2 as well. I don't think DOS 2 is overrated honestly, good but overrated especailly as a single player game. It also is honestly nothing like the games that's I'd suggest after it (The IE games) and is more like ultima etc....So do you think it’s overrated or not? It's a really great Coop experiance, and an average single player RPG at best. eitherway not 94/100 game. Of course this is just my opinion. EDIT: OPS I just reread my comment I wrote "don't" instead of "do". sorry my bad.

I mean the guy is throwing a tantrum and you can mock all you want but he is right at least partially, Heals seem to be too strong in deadfire and this essentially the health/endurance change's fault(wow another injury based system is a failure, you'd think Tyranny would've taught them otherwise) and perhaps poor balacing of the spells themselves and HAS NOTHING to do with the rest system itself, and it seems enough to trivialise the game maybe. Based on Cohh stream, the game on POTD seems MUCH MUCH easier than poe on POTD. Basically if coh was playing the way he is now on POE POTD he'd wipe every 2 or 3 fights, but he seems to breezing throught he game overall, that would be fine on normal, maybe on Hard. But not POTD. Hope mods or an early patch fix this.

I think the answer is no and it should be no, ONLY weapon damage builds focus for obvious balance reason, If we're to follow the logic you're implying then litterally any ability a cipher multiclasse has should generate focus like a wizard fire ball, also including cipher own abilities.Which is of course against the entire concept of the classe. Also adding arteficial synergies like that seems like a bad design IMO, just let the classe abilities interact and build synergies naturally. Edit: To add another point, cipher generate focus using their soul whip which is similar to an enchantement they can genrate around their WEAPON, so even lore wise it doesn't really make sense.

Word of mouth and a few youtubers that share my tastes is what I use decide my purchases. Both professional and user review aren't too trust worthy to me, although if deadfire can lock a 94-95 score at metacritic I'll be giggling like a little girl, maybe cause I can use that to convince some of my friends to get into CRPGs through it.

Good thing about having crappy internet, I'll likely finish downloading the game after the day 1 patch comes out. -
From what I've seen so far, it's on par with Hard in PoE 1. The biggest reasons it seems easier are the vastly improved companion AI and the ability to see whether a quest or an area you're doing are above your level. can we disable the skull thing? it takes away most of the thrill of exploration. POE was a great with UI options hope this is the case with POE2.

Long Max Level

I hear EA is hiring. -
While I agree with you, I'd like to note that when a game has 5 difficulty settings, any complaint about the highest setting(POTD) being too hard should be ignored, If someone is not up to it, he has 4 other settings to choose from. But If POTD is too easy then the hardore crowd is left with nothing.
