November 8, 20196 yr I think they might/might not like it. It depends what they exactly didn't they like.
November 10, 20196 yr I wasnt entirely enamoured with the first game. Deadfire is a massive improvement... for me. nowt
November 10, 20196 yr I personally would't care about Deadfire if I wouldn't have liked PoE much. But that's just me - people are different. Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods
November 10, 20196 yr Probably, Deadfire is an improvement in many ways but it is the same kind of game as PoE. "Akiva Goldsman and Alex Kurtzman run the 21st century version of MK ULTRA." - majestic "you're a damned filthy lying robot and you deserve to die and burn in hell." - Bartimaeus "Without individual thinking you can't notice the plot holes." - InsaneCommander "Just feed off the suffering of gamers." - Malcador "You are calling my taste crap." -Hurlshort "thankfully it seems like the creators like Hungary less this time around." - Sarex "Don't forget the wakame, dumbass" -Keyrock "Are you trolling or just being inadvertently nonsensical?' -Pidesco "we have already been forced to admit you are at least human" - uuuhhii "I refuse to buy from non-woke businesses" - HoonDing "feral camels are now considered a pest" - Gorth "Melkathi is known to be an overly critical grumpy person" - Melkathi "Oddly enough Sanderson was a lot more direct despite being a Mormon" - Zoraptor "I found it greatly disturbing to scroll through my cartoon's halfing selection of genitalias." - Wormerine "I love cheese despite the pain and carnage." - ShadySands
November 10, 20196 yr What I think is important is that it might be difficult to even understand Deadfire without the background given in PoE.

Well they thought the premise was good but at the same time they felt the game played out like a cluster**** and was trying too many angles all at once. Basically sounded good on paper but was poorly executed. If Pillars 2 didn't chew any fat and was just a copy paste of the original then they wouldn't like it.
November 11, 20196 yr Mechanically, Deadfire is a lot different from PoE. If one likes the world, lore, stories but didn't like the mechanics then Deadfire might be worth a shot. The combat is less messy, the rules are more straightforward/systemically coherent (even though they are still deep and somethimes hard to figure out) and some of the "old" mechanics like so-called vancian casting and the separation of endurance and health are gone.

November 12, 20196 yr Halfway through PoE2 now. I'd say it's somewhat less angsty, not so "life is hard and then you die". Still a bit overly complex set of rules and item/spell effects. The setting is lighter and more colourful, south sea isles instead of grimdark tolkien. But it's still mostly the same thing.
