    combat is a borefest galore.

    no challange whatsoever on hard mode.

    I litearlly nearly fell asleep because of the routine

     

    How many of the sidequests have you done? Would you say you're playing a completionist playthrough so far?

     

     

    Sidequests are there to be completed and experience the game.

    I don't know who invented that word - completionist - but it's  out of place.

  2. this game is too ****ing easy on hard. that's for sure

     

    there is a threshold point where all goes downhill regarding difficulty and you become way overpowered. (just like in Divinity OS where gameplay became a borefest because there was no challenge anymore)

     

    Having 2 fighters all in heavy armour  and high deflection makes PoE a near borefest, especially when I was able to recruit a cypher.

    No challenge is the death of gameplay and fun.

    Hard mode needs a big buff.

     

    AI is really limited. Engagement system limits the AI even further.

     

     XP gain should be reduced.

  3. Will it be sturdy enough to withstand the rough handling/carelessness of the post office workers?

     

    Recently I've received  my Wasteland 2 poster in a squashed cardboard cylinder.
    So imagine that nobody cared  about staking on top of it a heavy package.

     

    I hope not to receive my PoE CE in a same state so I urge the people responsible with packing to use sturdy cardboard boxes and some internal padding for shipping.

     

    But either way, there will be some unfortunate ones that will receive their CE damaged.
    What happens then?

  4. I did some calculations and guestimation(this I did a lot :p ; to manny unknowns, paradox cut, extra obsidian money) and ended with a figure of slightly less than 400k full price sales needed, for obsidian to be able to fund a similarly sized game after PoE post lunch support and expansion.

     

     

    The biggest and most important unknow is how much of their money Obsidian put into this game because no way this could have been made with 4 kk USD. They even said so that they invested their own money. I think they spent another 3kk USD for this project.

     

    So when we're talking about success, we should consider first money spent because nobody wants a classic game that blooms very late in sale charts! :)

  5. A good thing BG did with music was add ambient sound like wind into it, as well as pauses where little to no sound was actually played.

     

    For instance, The Ruins of Ulcaster:

     

     

    For me, this track and unfortunately too other few like this one, are the epitome of what a soundtrack should be.
