Pillars of Eternity: Hero Edition

Loading times are a game breaker

I played over 200 hours on that game. Still, I quit before the end. Everytime I discovered a new area, the loading time went longer. First chapter, I was still under 15 sec. Quite acceptable. After delving into the add-ons, I was over 80 seconds each time I changed area. So not only loading times were painful, but also opening any closed door. I you think you forgot something in the precedent room, that's 160 sec round trip ! And I have a Samsung EVO 500 GB. Plus, in those add-ons, battles were constant and the storyline quite weaker. And the battles, I didn't like them too much. It's like a big noisy blur covered with nice special effects that are masking the fighters. Too bad for such a nice RPG. Without the add-ons and something to read during the loading times, maybe you could like it, but I wish I had known that prior buying it, because I would have put my money eslewhere.
