The thing with Pillars is (if I continue from my previous post) that I find it fun, but Baldur's Gate I & II did most things better.
I feel that you can make diverse builds in PoE. Stats items and leveling up is not as "fun" as in other games. Spells aren't super exciting. But if you plan your build and choose the right stuff, you can make different types of builds with most classes. Items stats do look boring, but they are also important depending on what build you are going for.
When it comes to the writing, there are a lot of missed opportunities and I think a lot of things were cut. I also feel that a lot of people find the writing to be dry (if that can be used to describe it I don't know, it works in Swedish).
I do believe that they can improve things for a sequel and to me Pillars is a solid 8.
Less trash mobs, multi classing, more focused writing and maybe remake the attribute system and how skills/abilities/talents work.

Anyway... I didn't know what to play, so I grinded some achievements in Binary Domain. Then I played some Guild Wars 2. It's my guilty pleasure. (It's not even fun, I just do stuff to complete the world map %.)
