I haven't finished the game and not sure if I will end up finishing it. I gave it 6/10. I find it underwhelming. Worst writing I've seen from Obsidian. I'm not talking about content, more of the execution. I found story/lore/writing absolutely tedious, everytime I talk to someone it's like being in history class and the one I find dreadfully boring. The whole bunch of texts which reminds me of encyclopaedia is dumped on me, with strange words that doesn't stick well. You don't get exposed to these naturally, more forced upon you and yet without knowing these, the story and the world don't make sense. The game feels like IE game but in a bad sort of the way. Nothing feels "fresh" and yet the "familiar" aspect falls short compared to original IE games.

And yeah, gods, those loading screens. Getting sick of loading screens. That alone is enough reason for not going back to PoE for 2 weeks now.
