Just replayed PoE with white march after not touching the game since I ran through it on 1.0.
It was a vastly more enjoyable experience this time and white march was really good. There is lots of room for improvement but it was still a good game.
There are obvious flaws in both the gameplay and narrative that hold the game back significantly but at the end of the day it was enjoyable and far better than most of the shit out there.
One major complaint however was the difficulty. I played on hard and after the first few areas combat difficulty became really negligible. I'm not a good player nor am i min-maxer and I reloaded only on two encounters in the game (beyond reloads related to having stopped paying attention and not using abilities and waiting to heal between encounters): Llengrath and the bridge in the mines in white march (had no range weapons :s). I would expect there to be some challenge for normal players who are familiar with the genre...
I will try a playthrough with potd enabled and see if there is any difference.
