... I don't want the game to play itself, ....

.... If I wanted to do everything manually ...

 

Use the auto-Manual mode.

 

 ..playing a late beta version....

 

 ..unacceptable state. ...

 

 ..which virtually every player is likely to encounter in the normal course of completing the game...

 

 ..I'm still enjoying much of what PoE has to offer,

 

Me too!

Pillars of Eternity received an M rating from the ESRB.  Most notable difference from BGEE which had  a T rating, was the inclusion of the F-bomb.

 

[snip ..to much irrelevant stuff here ..]

 

I'm happy to do a search and replace and then upload when the mod site gets going, for those who want to play without the cursing.

 

I want to play without the killing. Violence makes me sick. Can you mod that out too? Maybe we than get a E10+ rating. And please mod every mention of religion out. People may think this is a hate-crime-condoning-game. And also, mod out wichts. People are also forced to kill children - soulless children none the less. And don't get me startetd on the topic of souls. It may anger non-religious people. Please make a mod for it and call it energy-bar. But this may anger anti-sports oriented players.

And the title: Pillars of Eternity. Clearly a phallus oriented title. Maybe we should make a mod for it and call it "Small wooden beams of timelessness".....

And see, I don't think PoE has the kind of content that makes it worth multiple playthroughs.  So the game needs to get things right with players from the start.  I also don't think that multiple-playthrough is a good excuse not to give players the information they need to make good strategic decisions.

 

 

I am just curious. Are you really sure you are not trolling?

Stopped reading right there - I don't care about that clickbait website or the opinions of their "hired bloggers" in the least.
