ComradeMaster 287 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Would they feel the same about PoE 2? Never played. Asking for a friend. Quote 'He who seeks to defend everything, defends nothing." King Frederick the Great of Prussia OUT OF STOCK Link to post Share on other sites
Wormerine 4,334 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I think they might/might not like it. It depends what they exactly didn't they like. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daven 821 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I wasnt entirely enamoured with the first game. Deadfire is a massive improvement... for me. 1 Quote nowt Link to post Share on other sites
Boeroer 15,196 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I personally would't care about Deadfire if I wouldn't have liked PoE much. But that's just me - people are different. Quote Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to post Share on other sites
KaineParker 6,142 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Probably, Deadfire is an improvement in many ways but it is the same kind of game as PoE.

xzar_monty 631 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 What I think is important is that it might be difficult to even understand Deadfire without the background given in PoE. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It depends what they exactly didn't they like. 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.

Boeroer 15,196 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) 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.

Jarmo 804 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 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.
