I think I might have enjoyed PoE2 more if it was a fresh starting adventure with a focus on exploration, battle, and politics. The deity squabble just didn't quite work for me as it seemed to upset the pacing.

I have to say that of the two I actually enjoyed PoE a lot more. PoE2 has the better character building system, but PoE was more engaging in terms of story and characters. Well, at least until the final chapter. Plus I enjoyed the party size and the magic system in PoE more; PoE 2 combat felt a lot more skirmishy and tactics didn't seem to matter as much.

One of the worse implementations ever, so not really a useful comparison.

Future titles: "Chasing the tail lights" "Embrace, extend, eliminate" "You have urgent updates" "Hey, it could be worse"

That's just too d*mn cute. Can he be a pet in PoE2?

PoE bobblehead collectables.

The system as designed actually deters swapping grimoires. At level up with Aloth, one tends to pick spells that complement the spells in his book. Ergo, the book is a complement to his spell list, whereas another book is likely to have more overlap and be less optimal. The system needs to be designed so that there is a benefit to having a picked spell that is also in a grimoire. Like a +2 power bonus, for example. It then becomes a trade-off, and makes swapping grimoires more useful.

I did enjoy the personas in DA2. Most of the DA2 stuff that freaked people out didn't bother me at all. I wouldn't mind seeing a revamped, high-def. release some day that fixed the supposed issues.
