Awwwwww! Well I'm going to get there tonight I hope. I have to play in 30-45 minute increments. The Wife, kids, and good weather are getting in between the master below and me.
Guys, I really gotta say, the end game/pre-credit sequence was amazing, and way longer than I thought it would be. It made me feel guilty for choices I had made and things I left undone (recruiting the ranger girl and never finishing her quest is mean!). I want to do another play through at some point...but I may wait until the expansion is closer.
My understanding is that there are physical cards. But I am not really interested. I don't have the built in friend circles/time to play tabletop games anymore. That's why I bought tabletop simulator.!
I thought it was the payoff for the 3rd and 4th acts. The first two acts were great and the second two led upnto that reveal, which opens a lot of cool possibilities for future games. I was glad they kept it til the end.
There is a lack of " So what, I was already an atheist" or "meh, I figured that out weeks ago" dialogue options.
I think if you're the philosopher background there is an option that's like "I KNEW IT!" or something.
Ah, thank you TV tropes.
"If the Watcher has a background as a nihilistic philosopher, they will have the following response to the revealation that the Gods aren't real. The Watcher: I KNEW IT!"
There aren't many wilderness areas. There aren't many class talents for some of the classes. Characters rarely remark on your character's race or background. In the entire game, I noted 3-5 times where my nature godlike was referred to as a godlike. I expected the druids to say something to me at least. I don't even think the bird godlike said anything.
On the up side, the combat can be quite fun and you can build some non-fighter classes into secondary frontliners. Kana made a decent assistant to Eder by the end.
Story-wise, CHARNAME should have had psychotic episodes to give the impression of going insane. There really was no sense of urgency (for a selfish CHARNAME? XD). And the final battle was too close to the first appearance of Thaos. I feel there should been another big event with him (or his underlings or his doings) between Defiance Bay and Twin Elms.
I can definitely agree with you about the more content-thing. PoE is REALLY close to becoming my 2nd, if not first, favorite RPG of all time since it has everything I like about BG1 (which I enjoy a hair above BG2 because of the NPC mod) and more. I just wish there was more of it QQ
Maybe if it gets an expansion/sequel it can overtake BG and become number one.
One thing I'm still caught in surprise about is that the Chanter is the most necromantically flavorful class. Like Wizards have death and necrotic spells and Priests have Berath as a patron deity but the chanter has all the cool life-draining, undead summoning, spirit magic.
Man. Makes me want to do another run of PoE but I need to finish my documented run of BG:EE before Adventure Y comes out.

Edit: she didn't and I did
Hip hip hoorah!

@typo_tilly the third and fourth acts fly by, but there is a lot of really neat quests in the twin elms. Enjoy!
