Compared to this crap, PoE's lore dumps are Pulitzer material.
The difference is quantity, both are bad, but if I had to eat a spoonful of shit versus a bowl of shit, I'd choose the spoon.
It also has established characters changing their behavior to suit Beamdog's agendas, conversations where you're given no option at all but to behave like a butthurt feminazi (like the "wench" one with Voghlin), etc.
Not really, this is a very common misconception a lot of people seem to have and I don't really know where they get it from. Every character is the same one-dimensional caricature they are in BG1, they just talk more and their one-dimensionality starts to grate, as opposed to their overall quietness in BG1. There are 2 OOC moments with Viconia, where she is uncharacteristically altruistic, but it's not aggressive leftist propaganda. There ARE OOC moments which are very jarring, but it's not universal.
SoD fails at its very inception, as it is a pointless, cash-grab pseudo-expansion.
Yes, it's pointless, but I really don't get the impression that it's a cash-grab. The EEs and nu-Star Wars, yes, but SoD does indeed feel like the labor of fans who tried to do the original justice. They failed, but that's not the point.
A self-contained entity that can be (and should be) safely ignored. I. e. - not a very good one.
PoE can also be safely ignored without you losing anything in your life, so that's not really that important. As opposed to BG, where you do lose joy and a piece of history if you don't play it.
I'm pretty sure PoE usually gave us more than one. SoD often does not give us even the one.
PoE is filled with the dispositions, so it railroads you to certain answers in general. Yes, most of the time it tries to give you a non-disposition answer, so that's good. The thing that I do remember, however, is that most of the time your character in SoD is a pussy in all the answers, including the "evil" ones. If I had to choose which one does it better, I'd say PoE.
As in - you can see that it was written by a very poor writer, who actually thinks they are really very good, and so tries to cram in "humor" and that certain brand of aggressive leftist propaganda every chance they get.
Both SoD and PoE suffer from an overall problem with the writing. SoD's is nu-Bioware style fan-fiction written by people who don't have enough life experience to do justice to the things they are writing about, including their "strong womynz" thing. That's why it comes off as leftist propaganda, the lack of experience in being a truly strong PERSON (not only woman), but, yeah, they were thinking of it from a leftist propaganda angle. PoE's is a lack of editing and creativity in general. PoE's might function as a piece of constructed writing if it's edited, but the ideas won't become more interesting or creative.
