MrSchmell: The thing about restricting abilities to weapons is that it sets clear identities for those.
Allowing any ability to be used with any weapon does not really mean more choice, because players WILL minmax it out and just use the most optimal ones. Look at poe 1 - so many different weapons, and most of them are dead.
TalkativeTri: Lots of agreement with you here. Had low expectations for console and couch co-op for myself, it was AMAZING!
proxas9878: i'm excited to see how it performs on low end devices
Fighterfan69: I like the idea of most skills tied to weapons. It's not thematic if you use a 2-handed Axe and can use slam or stun skills. I get that sometimes that weapon has good stats affixes and such. I don't want to go down the D3/D4 route where basically if an item had green numbers, I equipped it. The more damage and defense the better. It made no sense that my Witch Doctor could carry a 2 handed sword and still use its skills. I'm still new to POE so my opinions may be moot.
coldfirelightpoe6803: PoE2 bound to replace PoE1, for most, but it’ll take some time to flesh PoE2 out.
farkascsaba8296: idk why but i dont really like what i see about poe2 but i hope it will change when i can play
steampoweredgamer1080: Epic assessment and explanation. Appreciate how much time and effort you put into creating this review. Looking forward to being able to play. Excitement is building
KlabauterManiac: I dare you to show me one single D4 place that has more color than POE2 has anywhere.
Chief_117.: first poe 2 is shit... lol
ramus9555: People see color as a minor thing, but if a large area only has a few colors it really has a huge impact, at least to me. I remember playing Baldur's Gate 3, getting to the Shadow-Cursed Lands, which is a huge area just in black, white, grey and a little blue here and there. After finishing half of it, I had had enough and wanted to move on to another zone really bad. Not because of the story, but because of the color scheme. I needed something else.
I haven't seen any PoE2 area that I think would incur that same reaction. They have more freedom there, because the areas are map-sized. You don't have to spend hours in the same one.
