You guys did a great job with OW2. Only two very trivial things bug me.

[Matthew Cox]

First, let me say that this is a great game. It's been a really long time since I played a game that didn't have multiple things about it that I found awful. OW2 is truly the first game I have played since... oh... Fallout4 that's absorbed so much of my time and held my interest. (and yeah I wish Obsidian was still making Fallout games but sigh...)

Anyway, great job.

I only have two very small issues that I feel like griping about this game

1) Doing a stealth melee build it strikes me as very silly that we are better off "backstabbing" with a giant 2 handed hammer rather than a light melee weapon. IMO attacks from stealth should be MUCH better off with a stealthy weapon than a monstrous hammer. (especially if said hammer tends to explode on hit). The big 2h melee weapons should be for out of stealth. In stealth, the knives should be able to function without having to use a sledgehammer to backstab a tough mob. It's just immersion breakingly silly. Reminds me of the old D&D joke about "backstabbing with a ballista".

2) the Patient Step armor is hideous. IDC how good its stats are. I can't use it because those hideous green gloves give me nightmares. (also not sure why an armor set that's great for TTD would have a medical theme and not something more ftting to a gunslinger but /shrug)

 

So yeah, if one of the things I am griping about is the aesthetics of an armor set and the list only has 2 points, you guys did an amazing job.

Best game since Fallout 4..... flipping heck.

[Matthew Cox]

That i've played. Not saying it's universally the best since.

[daven]

I just mean, you think Fallout 4 is better?

[Matthew Cox]

I didn't mean to say Fo4 was better than Ow2. I said a game hasn't consumed so much of my time like Ow2 has since I played Fo4.

Fo4 had a ton of issues, not only technical ones. The story had so many plot holes it would be hard to even call it a cohesive story. Yet, I'm a big fan of the franchise so I kept playing it while trying my best to ignore those issues.

Ow2 doesn't really have any serious story/writing problems except for the Initiate Alva quest. (you're supposed to investigate and prove innocence but you find absolutely nothing that identifies the actual person who did the bad stuff and yet the quest just points a finger at someone no questions asked) - thought that was pretty badly set up, but aside from that. Yeah, from a story perspective, Ow2 is leaps and bounds better than Fo4.
