He isn't wrong though. Dex got really annoying lately with this anti-sjw shit, people getting triggered left and right, foaming at the mouth about some random bs without even playing the game... pot meet kettle and all that. The only outright WTF moment in Deadfire is that fishboy watershaper, when 3 out of 4 lines in your first dialogue are dick related, I finished the game and didn't see anything else that can be considered SJW propaganda and even that fish most likely ended up the way it did due to Feargus directive to 'sex things up'.
Game itself is alright, core mechanics are actually good and well implemented, combat flows way better than the first, so that part of the game I enjoyed quite a lot. New systems however, in truly obsidian fashion (shit first attempts, but solid improvement on their second try, see every other obsidian game for reference) are very barebones (ships, islands and such). Writing is so-so with exception of background and lore which are actually quite decent. Main story line is very short and while premise is interesting by itself it's not very well framed or properly explored, same goes for every other major plot line (factions and the like). Obsidian need good writers to make something great with their 3rd attempt and said writers need time and room to work. Also the game might have been way better if they canned the Eothas plotline completely and focused instead on plundering and political strife. Since in order to explore themes his questline brings you need to dedicate to it a way bigger chunk of the game and completely change the approach to how dialogues are constructed. As it is you have very limited (if not basic) options like do that or don't to that, instead of going at it PST style, when every piece of the puzzle rises more questions than answers.
TL;DR game's worth a try, a solid adventure that's much closer in spirit and feel to IE games, than the first PoE.
