Thoughts after first play through

[Fealty]

First and foremost,

 

Thank you Obsidian, I loved POE 1 and I am really enjoying this one.

 

Eder and Xoti are amazing characters. "I see another soul in the darkness... one ready for reapin" 

 

Things I noticed... This feels like its more breadth and less depth, while POE1 was the opposite.  Not saying its better or worse, just different.

 

I feel like the game mechanics improved overall.

 

Things I think could be a little better and I know there are changes in the works to the game to improve the difficulty, but I would like to comment on this. I feel there were no memorable fights... I don't know if its just due to the difficulty being tuned down or what, but POE had Raedric's Hold, Maerwald, The Bear in the cave right after you are "Awakened", Adra Dragon, Sky Dragon, Orge Druid Matron (Cannibal Orge Level in Endless Paths) and others that I remembered vividly.  I just finished Deadfire and the only fight I had to do more than once was the last guy.

 

However, this is overall a solid improvement and I'm so happy games like this are still getting made. Starting a new play through now and I'm looking forward to the upcoming DLC.

 

Again, thanks for your hard work and dedication. It's appreciated, truly.
