35 hours in PoE2, with 3 different characters. A bit disappointed with it. It's basically just PoE1, but made way slower and with more dodgeroll. The gameplay seems like it was made more varied at the start, but in the end I still found myself just spamming one skill all the time. Not that I'm at "the end", I'm at the boss of act2 and find myself bored with the game. Feel like playing PoE1, which for all it's faults is at least faster paced. So instead of spamming your one attack skill in an area for 2 hours, you do it for 10mins and then move to the next. EDIT: Path of Exile 2, that is.

Path of Exile 2 early access, 5 hours in. Seems ok so far. They've definitely moved a bit away from what PoE1 was, to a more souls-like approach I guess? Instead of building up 1 skill to spam all the time, you actually have to think what skills to use. And the campaign seems tougher. That can certainly make the first run through the campaign interesting, but not sure what it does for game longevity. PoE1, like most diablo-clones, mostly works on the long term because of the end-game, and you don't really want to replay the same campaign through every season. So it's either a skipping option, or rushing through it, and this doesn't look like something you can rush through. Maybe they already have a solution for this, I haven't followed any of the news about the game.

Well, if DAVe became like this because of Fallen Order's popularity, then presumably the next DA game will be modeled after BG3.
-
Interesting to hear they got all that from Fallen Order. I never played that, but it all falls in with the conspiracy theory...

The downside of making a really popular game with lots of replayability (through modding), you can't just do the same again, you have to do loads better. I remember when they talked about Avowed in one of those big shows about games where they announce new stuff or new trailers, one of the presenters said "Why not just play Skyrim again?".

Finished Rise of the Golden Idol. Was pretty good. The connections between the cases to the overall story was as not as obvious as in the previous one, took me until the final cases to realize how it all worked out. Not sure if the changes in the UI were ultimately better or worse, but it didn't matter that much. Looks like there'll be at least 4 DLCs coming in 2025. Will buy them.

I got that impression from DAVe. Mainly because the big plot seemed much more interesting than all the details.
-
I went to check on the Bioware fan forums what everyone there was thinking, and my main takeaway is that they like to call the game "DAVe".
