Good Game, Bad Pacing.
Lemme get some things out of the way first. The story is fantastic. The story had me near tears at times with how powerful, awe inspiring, and beautiful many of the themes were. Eothas was simply absolute perfectly written and performed, I wish that had been longer. The deep philosophical themes help further push this story into the realm of highbrow entertainment. I imagine those who know little-to-nothing about philosophy in general may have found the story lacking, pacing aside. I cannot possibly explain how perfect the Eothas part of this game I just loved, I couldn't wait to talk to him again and learn more about the character and his motivations. This is where we begin to have issues however: Because Eothas is so well done, and because many likely wanted to rush the game to talk to him as the story progresses, the game seems create dumb barriors that make no sense that stop you from rushing, which normally wouldn't be a huge deal if the game also didn't constantly remind you of how much of a hurry you should be in. This sense of urgency it forces on you ultimately hurts it, and it does this even with much of the DLC as well. For example, Eothas will say "I'm going here, I will not wait long" and you may want to do that, but you can't because the game makes you do a ton of petty crap (or grind) in forced-preparation for much of those meetings where he says practically the same thing, why tell me to rush if you're gonna force me not to. Don't tell me to hurry if I can't, and don't tell me to rush at all if the game is already too short. Rant aside, there are other small issues, like so much space but so little to do. I played for nearly 70 hours, which is 30 more than what GOG says is the average playtime. Very little to explore given the amount of space. Durance not being in the game was sad. Other good things: Loved the pirate theme, the boat combat, the OST, the new cultures, and all the lore you stumble upon that connects masterfully PoE1 to PoE2.
