Anyway, to return to the original topic, what I try to ask myself is:
"If I played this new game as a teenager who'd never played a traditional RPG before, and then went back to try out the old games, what would I think of them?"
There might be somebody out there who's going to do that with PoE, and find Baldur's Gate 2 awfully disappointing for not having a concept of a "speed stat" for making quicker characters, or for not being able to talk to one's companions at will, or for not having a fully modeled culinary crafting tree, or any number of things.
A game doesn't have to scratch your personal itches to be considered "incline". I mean, have we really become this spoiled already?
