Profound - Challenging - Outstanding

A really, really great game, one of my top 3 so far. I spent houndred of hours with it, and chance is high that it keeps to be my favourite RPG. The Story is well written and immersive. The theme is interesting, intelligent, enigmatic. Generally its about what life is, or how it works, or not. Or maybe its about the whole existence. Hm, something like that. Mysterious. Profound. Severall times i find myself thinking about what happens there for minutes right in front of my pc-screen. In my opinion thats the strongest part of the game - but not the only outstanding one. The charaktersystem is just exemplary. You progress your skills just as your persuasions - and that takes greatly part on the immersion. Most of the time you really FEEL every word thats spoken, every action thats taken by or with your charakter. Every event that happens has a meaning, you have to think about it - and its kind of a miracle to do somthing like that in a pc-game, really! (basegame, not necessarily the expansion - white march is much less immersive in my opinion, i havent finished it yet). The battle-mechanics are great, and what some people may call "overwhelming micromanagement" is a big plus in my point of view. Yes: you have to think about every action you take, you permanently have to revise your queued spells and hits, you have to change your target-directions every some seconds, you have to combine your party-actions and skills in the right order to the right time and, most important, you have to find out the weak points of your opponents - in other words: you really have to FIGHT to win. You cant just "level up and kill everything" - thats mostly impossible (first played in normal mode, thats not too hard if youre a bit familiar with the mechanics; then in hardest, its partially ultrachallenging). If you like it (very) easy you can i.e. change to story-mode (the enemys are mostly dummys in that mode) Its so much more to say but thats it with my char-limit. Buy that game :)

Enemies not dying

I kill the wolf at the start it gets on the floor then gets up almost dead and I can't interact with it no attacking it works only way to get it to not attack me is by running away into a crowd and make it aggro somebody else this is the case with every enemy

Great execution of an obsolete game

PoE1 was a success selling because it created hype on fans of Infinity's engine Baldur's Gate and the likes. Fans massively backed, and many other joined in retail. But Baldur's Gate is an obsolete game, with too many hours/achievement ratio and a bad combat system. PoE1 Delivered precisely that: a new and greatly executed Baldur's Gate that kept the obsolete-ness. That is the truth. Mind you that the story and the writing are secondary to this, contrary to what many reviewers say .. - let me elaborate: During the 90's, without good internet we used to spend hours to play games. It all happened slowly. Even starting a game would take several minutes! So spending hours reading about equipment and setting up your party was OK, then you would read plot exposition for another hour and many other hours would go in loading/saving due to bugs, crash, and retries of challenging combat. In a session of 5 hours you would achieve nothing in the game's progression, and that used to be fine. But not anymore. If you were a young fan then (like me), you won't have the time and patience to do this today. If in the other hand you are a younger player today: this game will most likely feel unfulfilling and heavy to you compared to modern ones. The fact is aggravated by the combat system which features many overlapping weapons, skills and complete chaos on screen. 20 Years ago this used to be novel, but now it is only a confusing system with no chance to let the player admire the flow and a dilution of the actual impact of each skill/feature you get. No young player would and should like the buff stack/unstacking mechanics for example. It's the embodiment of how obsolete BG is. Obsidian did put amazing talent for art and music. They also created vast lore and game structure.. but just look at how PoE2 sold much less than PoE1.. take the hype away.. and you are left with an obsolete game.

Mediocre

When this game was new I loved the shit out of it for some reason. Ten years and three hundred hours of playtime later I don't get it anymore. The game has become pretty boring to me and I struggle to get through my third playthrough because the story doesn't intrest me anymore. It lacks soul ironically. There is so much grit and melancholy and very little fun compared to the baldurs gate franchise. The game mechanics to be fair are quite well made and there is a lot of freedom for building a unique character. Aside from that I don't enjoy the game anymore it isn't appealing anymore to me.

Great game

This game is all I could have hoped for and more. You can really feel the love and care that the people from Obsidian have put into this title to try and follow in the footsteps of Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale and Planescape. The game strikes a great balance between both story and action. Nothing in the game feels forced or excessive. It is just plain fun. I can only hope that this will be a start of a series of games like this. I highly recommend it.
