Non progredi est regredi.

Oh I understand style and etc. I don't looking for Graphics, when buying PoE. I want to buy true cRPG. What is exactly a RPG core idea? Freedom! How we can deliver freedom to game? Choices! You can choose your character stats, morality, ammunition. And bring to live yourself in some fantastic world via this choices. And for some reason guys from Obsidian think, that MORE Choices = MORE Freedom. This isn't true. I really want to see interesting 'crossroads' not just bulk of numbers and words. If i found only 1/4 of all stats that are currently in game, but they are really work together - the game will be great. I want not simple, but solid gameplay. So: Combat: For example - I have ability to control mind of my enemy. Klick-enemy is your ally now. I like this. Then I see, after level up, that I can learn how to use my allies as battery that explode by lighting strike and damage nearby enemies. I-Wow! Lets combine a new method! Ups..No. Even in games like ping-pong you can and must planning. Planning, by considering possible options. This game don't allow you to play actually. If you look at other parts of combat they are done in same manner - just numbers, ton of numbers. AI: - Allies AI is horrible. Pathfinding? No. - Enemy AI is boring. You want to angry some wolfs and then run to Bandit's camp to see what's gonna happen, because bandits are too strong.) 7/10 that they prefer to kill you in party like a good old friends. Off.. Plot: - I don't mean World, it's good, as typical fantasy. But story. I'm a Chosen One after 1 hour of playing. Year - everything will be explained. But the same thing over and over again. For decades . NO! Nevermore! -Characters ..Hi man where u going ? Can I go with u, just for lulz? I'm cleric, it's about charity. What? WE will KILL everyone in this village? O'k! I don't care -where we go next? Faded glory. Let something new grow on this. This belongs to cemetery. Marketing vampires must focus on breaking their own limits.
