I personally would've liked POE2 to be more like the old classics BG1, BG2, etc. Why fix what's not broke? Those are the kind of games that made me want to buy POE1 in the 1st place. So far POE2 feels like a watered down version of POE1. Fighting has been for the most part very easy where I can often let the AI do most of the work(i'm sure they'll get that worked out eventually), "dungeons" are tiny and boring, most quests are not very interesting, ship fighting gets old quick, and there's not much to the island exploring. There still is a lot to enjoy but I feel this game is a big step down from POE1 for me. I hope the DLC can add a lot more life to the game. These are by far my favorite type of games, I spent over 550 hrs with POE1 and hoped to spend at least that much with this game, so I may be more critical than most...
