This is an unpopular opinion but one of the things that turned ME off to PoE was...many of the rules looked the same, just with a layer of suck on top. Want to rest? Nope, only certain places, a certain amount of times, and you need a consumable. Want to save? Were going to prevent save scumming. Want kill XP? Were going to save you from becoming a murderhobo. Want to prebuff? Your going to have to do it in combat. Cant stack buffs, no healing, etc. I understand all of these things are beloved around here, but not for me. The final steak in my heart was my most favorite aspect of RPG's, the combat. I couldn't make heads or tails of what was going on and it all turned into a dogpile in the middle of the screen for me. So I never even installed the game after trying the beta. I didn't buy into Deadfire for these reasons. Im the problem here, just explaining what killed the franchise for ME.
