    OK, but the game is still good. More importantly: the second one is awesome - far better than this one in terms of ruleset (especially combat/classes abilities), setting, and scenario. Also voiced by the people from Critical Role. It's the closest thing to the CRPGs of the golden age (BG1, BG2, Planescape, Arcanum...) we had until Owlcat Game appeared and managed to beat them all (except Disco: Elysium obviously, that one's a pearl in an entire distinct category).

        i found the first one unbearably boring and overwritten, and that's as someone who played all the old rpgs (:chomsky-yes-honey: )

        Owlcat Games, the guys who made those two Pathfinder RPGs and are currently developing a Warhammer 40K one

        Look up Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

          Owlcat Games

          Oh right. I was actually playing Kingmaker yesterday. Just had no idea what the devs name was I guess

      The story of PoE was good, but I could never get into PoE2. The walking statue was just so cringe

    obsidian usually has some p good politics, tho maybe they just write in such a way where you can project whatever you want on to the game

    NV can def feel that way

        I was rather surprised when I looked at the FNV subreddit half a year ago with a bunch of unironic Legion fans. I do wish they had the peaceful interior of the Legion's lands in the game if only because it would force people to see that despite a "better" interior than the Republic, the Legion's methods mean misery for all. I like the comparison to the real Rome where they create wastelands wherever they go destroying cultures and forcing obedience and maybe faced with this they might look a bit more at their own lived experiences, but nope, people are fine with the Legion just being slaving assholes that crucify people and that's all they are and it's good enough to stan.

          There are certain people so baked in internet irony that the irony just becomes truth and it turns out they really are just sadists/fascists not doing a bit.
