After so many patches and DLC - Poe1 Worth playing?

[cretin]

Ive currently got tons of rpgs installed on my computer and I just want to know if poe1 is worth playing through now or is it a waste of time?

Ive played a bit of deadfire and generally enjoyed it aside from dumbfuck neurotic companions dropping reddit quips every few minutes

 

[Trithne]

Have they added a turn based mode to it yet?

i enjoyed it on release. Some would say it's boring but it reminded me of baldur's gate 1 - slow, methodical, thoughtful. Probably (or maybe definitely) in the minority opinion here but i liked it and will revisit it in the future. cheers on whatever u decide. <3

It's not amazing or anything, it's got a host of issues if you ask me, but if you mostly enjoyed Deadfire, you'll probably enjoy PoE1.

 

[Ringhausen]

It's pretty boring.

POE is just painfully mediocre, the whole game just stinks of wasted potential. The game's whole "every character must be viable" philosophy is cancerous as well.

I actually ended up enjoying Deadfire slightly more because the base gameplay felt slightly better. It still has a lot of issues, but the balance feels less "no fun allowed".

 

[Yosharian]

Not really. I guess if you're desperate for an RPG. The DLC is alright. Not as special as some claim it to be, but it's alright.

 

[SmoothPimp]

It's too academical, even generic, overly oldskul oriented. I've expected more creative freedom from crowdfunding projects. RtwP is shit - whatever you do, you inevitably got into engagement mess. Though it's not bad, if you're out of options for really good games - there are some decent moments in quests, dialogs, mechanic. Overall it felt like people with big experience had to come up with something without interesting vision and ideas.

Pillars remains one of the worst CRPGs to date.

You should never play PoE even if for some reason you think you like RTWP.
There's nothing there.

• Bland PC
• RTwP combat mess
• Retarded characteristics system and below larian level skills & spells
• Story and dialogs from uninspired to plain bad.

Also, don't ask opposite questions in the title and your first post, you're only confusing yourself.

If you crave for a good RPG and think you played them all, you actually didn't, there's some good indies or older classics you didn't play, that's where the fun is.

It should be noted that a sizeable portion of this site has convinced itself to like the taste of shit cachu because they're that desperate for any sort of CRPG.

If you would like to fall asleep, please play it.

There are a couple memorable encounters in the White March DLCs.
Also Durance is a bro.

 

[Goldschmidt]

To be honest, it is extremely hard to think of a modern rpg that is better than POE. I installed, desinstalled many gog rpg's. Wasted too much money on these.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

first half is good, white march 1+2 is good
second half is a mostly incoherent mess

You're not trying very hard if POE is the best modern RPG you can think of.

 

[BarbequeMasta]

It's better than PoE2 at least, simply due to the fact that the highest diffculty doesn't assume you're completly braindead, and the companions aren't shitty copies of Bioware faggy romance baits.
The White March is honestly the best content obisdian has made since new Vegas, which I know isn't a high bar but IMO it's fairly great, it's the main reason that bamboozled me into thinking the sequel wouldn't suck despite all the signs being there before release.

KotC
KotC 2
Wasteland 2
Wasteland 3 (probably, didn't play it but it has to be way better than PoE)
Solasta (not brilliant, still way better than PoE)
ATOM RPG
And many more...

Wasteland 3 (probably, didn't play it but it has to be way better than PoE)

W3 is complete mediocrity and I'm highly suspicious of anyone pretending otherwise.

 

[Darth Canoli]

Right, go play PoE then, it's the pinnacle of the computer role-playing games...

 

[Vladimuar]

Wasteland 2

PoE isn't THAT boring

 

[Vladimuar]

ATOM RPG

PoE companions are geniuses in comparison

 

[deama]

I didn't like it, but I didn't like deadfire either.
I'd say go with tyranny, I enjoyed that one.

 

[Butter]

It's better than Deadfire, but it doesn't do anything better than the IE games. If you really need some RTwP action and you've played BG2 and IWD 20 times each, maybe give it a go.

What’s wrong with W3?
