You must be high. Fallout 1, 2, and New Vegas are amazing with all the options you can choose, and all the crazy **** you can encounter in the wastes of California and Nevada.

Bethesda lost me with their dumbed down spellcrafting, weak story, nerfed magic system, and the same old repetitive dungeons in Skyrim. Bioware lost me when they went full SJW, and released microtransaction filled crash happy games.

Aggression in DnD is always important as is positioning. Whether it be cutting off a person's hand, or picking up a 500 pound boulder as a human monk to throw it at your enemies from a 70 foot high cliff.

Divinity Original Sin 2 is pretty fun, and Chris Avellone worked on it. If you enjoyed his writing in Fallout New Vegas give DOS2 a try.

I'm replaying FF6, Divinity Original Sin 2, and Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition.

Yeah the nerfs are pretty terrible. Like DnD 3.5 to 4th edition terrible.

Why on earth would they retire when they were perfectly fine with it before in their previous games? I'm sure plenty of people would enjoy a dark story since every other game is soft with their quests. I'd be more than happy for them to go Berserk or Goblin Slayer levels of dark.

I'd like to see a return to dark as hell quests in their games. Like back when you could gun down slavers who sold children as sex slaves to the Fiends in Fallout New Vegas, or cutting down pieces of **** who sacrifice other human beings to their gods like in PoE1. Go full dark again Obsidian, and throw in some dark humor similar to the stuff in Fallout 1 and 2.

PoE2 only had 3 true dragons. I'm saying they should have put in more dragon encounters whether it be a lightning dragon that you can only reach by sailing into a hurricane causing you to wind up on his floating island teeming with storm blights, a 20th level wizard lightning dragon to get around lightning resistant characters, and dragon cultists who are only level 12 to act as damage sponges for the living storm they worship. They could have also had a corrosion breathing three headed dragon based on Azi Dahaka unleashing earthquake like abilities, and having rogue abilities once they reach it's underground lair who wishes to wipe out the Royal Deadfire Company who built their fort above his lair.

Obsidian should have put more dragons in Deadfire. Poe 1 had dragons out the ass, and it was awesome as hell to have them all have different elemental breaths and abilities. I'm disappointed they didn't throw in spellcasting onto the dragons in PoE 2

The beginning was pure hell in POE2 on path of the damned. Eder would keep missing 100% accurate 2 piercing hits even with xoti and myself casting blessing and empowered. Perception would make a huge difference especially with clerical buffs popping on top of that. Similar to with DnD I have character ideas just pop in my head, and those were the 3 I just thought up.

If they are going to give us new companions in POE3 I expect Obsidian to give us reliable allies that don't miss every time in path of the damned difficulty. Some companions I would like would be an aumaua blood wizard that could multiclass into paladin or fighter for massive sustainability, a dwarf druid that specializes in fire spells at the cost of corrosion spells who could multiclass into priest or fighter for either team support or more tanking, and a pale elf paladin who could multiclass into wizard or rogue to better serve his dark god Rymrgand. The coastal aumaua would be from rauatai seeking a way to extend her life and would have the stats of 15 might, 12 constitution, 11 dexterity, 15 perception, 14 intelligence, and 11 resolve. The boreal dwarf druid would be from the white that wends, and would seek to make a peaceful country for all of Hylea's creatures including dragons since that is the god he worships. His stats would be 13 might,17 constitution, 10 dexterity,15 perception, 12 intelligence, and 11 resolve. The pale elf will be from the white that wends as well and seeks to serve as his god's personal assassin for those who have wronged him. His stats would be 16 might, 14 constitution, 12 dexterity, 14 perception, 10 intelligence, and 12 resolve.
