Quick question about this game

[Hayashi.226]

I'm currently on PoE now, and I was wondering how PoE2 fits in story-wise with the first game. Is it a continuation of the story in the first game, or a sequel, or something not really connected, but just set in the same world?

Thanks.

Same protagonist but 5 years after PoE.

Another place (on another continent) but same world.

It's not a direct continuation - like for example Fellowship to Two Towers - but there is a general continuation in terms of returning characters and concepts. You play as the same character if you import your character, although you remake them from scratch at the start. You could choose to be the same class but you don't have to. Either way, narratively, you're the same Watcher that did all that stuff in PoE1.

Might over intelligence works perfectly for deriving a mages spell power.
