Too demanding, but worth it at the end
I spent hundreds of hours in PoE 1 and PoE 2, and not until the last 10 minutes of PoE 2 did I finally find the same spark of magic that made me fall in love with Obsidian at the end of KOTOR 2. An even more brilliant spark, perhaps. Whereas the end of KOTOR 2 merely affirmed a belief I already held about the balance of light and dark sides of the Force, the ending of Deadfire opened my eyes to a whole new perspective: on the value of ancient religions like the Greek pantheon vs. modern religions like Christianity. But let's speak of practical matters first: the recommendation. Do not bother to play Deadfire unless you (1) played through PoE 1 and want more of it or (2) like to try out new and complex CRPG game mechanics. Deadfire is an improvement over PoE 1 in all the big ways. The graphics are better and the world looks more lively. All the dialogue and even some narrations are fully voice acted, and acted well. The story is more thought-provoking, at least if you play all the way to the end and do not resist the game's themes. The quests are more complex and intertwined. The RPG system is bigger with subclasses and dual classes, deeper with a lot of interconnected mechanics, but also easier to navigate with a fully visible progression tree. However, the barrier to entry is high. The story makes less sense and the main plot and some key character interactions have far less impact if you didn't fully experience PoE 1. The RPG system is a pain for casual players like me to fully grasp, even with my experience in PoE 1, and there is no auto leveling to help you. There is still no cool villian, or any villian really, to motivate the story. The main conflict is philosophical. There are also small annoyances like an inventory system even worse than PoE 1 and the inexplicable removal of the keyboard shortcut to follow your party. All that felt trivial at the end, when I understood the game's theme. It made the experience worth my while. It won't appeal to everyone.
