Overall I love PoE.

 

It's an ambitious project - and I love your games, Obsidian (Fallout NV is my all time favorite).

 

I appreciate the many details - maps on tables, overturned furniture, spilled food etc.

 

I like how you created alternate ways into places; the scrolls that pop-up and flesh out a scene/event; the spare voice overs that allow much more depth of conversation.

 

Great job !  I hope there is a PoE 2.... I will buy/support in a heart beat.  I've already given PoE as a gift to help support your company - you are one of the best one's out there in my opinion.

My favourite little thing - how when a cutscene starts with people walking up to the party, a ranger's animal companion will head right to their side.

I really, really dig the little story scenes with the drawings. The artwork in those never ceases to amaze me, and the combination of VO and sound effects really does a great job of setting up the imagination.

I know right?!? They are so much better than cutscenes. My jaw dropped when some guy said you'd see the lower budget because of these scenes. I just wanted to scream "no! they are perfect!!!". :D

My favourite part so far in this game has been the stained glass window just inside the entrance to the inn : The Black Hound in Gilded Vale. Such a small thing, but I love it.

Me too, there are so so many little details, like when you enchant a weapon with shock damage, little arcs of electricity touch the ground ... beautiful. 

The maps on the tables are awesome.  I loved those as well.  Nice detail.

Yes! Scripted interactions are amazing for the reason stated above. More in the expansion / sequel please.

Scripted interactions remind me of gamebooks, if anyone still remembers those, e.g. choose your own adventure series.

Agreed, New Vegas is amazing. I sort of wish there was a similar optional "hardcore mode" for Pillars, gauging characters' hunger and thirst levels. It really brought F:NV to life for me.
