I've actually died several times in my first 4-5 hours of playing; I was shocked to find a title that is actually challenging. Great remindes of how it was back in the day, the BG games were also brutal when they came, the only reason they're not as challenging today is because I've played them so many times and know all the tricks. The first pack of wild beasts I came upon in Pillars killed me; some boars, they ripped me to shreds in seconds and it made me smile. |
Haha, I remember back in the days of Dragon Age: Origins, first thing I did when I've finsihed it, I fired up BG2 with some old save from fairly early on it the game - and I got butchered in seconds...I thought to myself - holly shit, is this how hard that game was, I do remember it being hard, but I was managing it quite well the first time, what happened in the meantime?
So glad PoE is what they promised it would be, a worthy spiritual successor to BG, PT and ID, though I'd still prefer if it was a true D&D setting and rules.
