PoE 1 took five months to top 500,000 sales, and after a year was at 700,000. Divinity OS2, on the other hand, broke 700,000 in a month after release and was over a million in 2 months. Meanwhile, PoE 2 straight flopped. At best, RTwP is niche these days. We're far from the KOTOR and Dragon...

I guarantee you that's never going to happen.

One thing I really hope they do is reward XP for resolving quests and encounters through non-combat means. That's one issue that's really stuck out to me so far.

I like that change to Fire Bolt, but I don't care nearly as much for it creating fiery surfaces. Same with Ray of Frost potentially knocking the enemy prone by creating an icy surface. Both of those abilities have struck me as pretty damn OP to have on cantrips.

My 3-year-old laptop with a 1060 Max-Q is running it decently enough.

User reviews for it are currently 82% positive on Steam. The negative ones are about what I expected, too, only few of them were constructive at all. Most were "$60 for early access???" or "hurr hurr it's DOS3" or "hoe noes muh RTwP." The only negative review from one of the major publications...

That Ars Technica review was absolute garbage. Half of the review was him complaining that he wasn't using all of his movement on his turn, which is dumb for obvious reasons. And the other major source of complaint was the companions, when Larian straight up said to everybody that the evil...

It was right up until the edition that ruined all that lore.

Well, 4e ruined a ton of decades-old lore, so citing it doesn't exactly sway me on the matter.

The mechanics were different in 3e. 3e psionics did not use spell slots. And even if the mechanics weren't totally different, words matter narratively. And narratively, there has always been a clear demarcation between psionics and magic. So, no, that ship never left port in the first place...

Martial Versatility is perfectly fine. And Spell Versatility would be OK if only the Ranger got it (though making the Ranger a prepared caster would've been better still).

Wrong.

Actually, this is the one thing that is seriously making me question whether I want to get TCOE.

Nope. It's D&D, where psionics has always been defined as distinct from magic. Explicitly so. To say otherwise is dishonest.

Psionics is not magic. Never has been in D&D. That is fact.

This is irrelevant, and that you think this is any kind of rebuttal is shameful intellectual dishonesty. It does not change the fact that psionics was never intended to be magic of any kind. Period.

How is making psionics just more spells the least hated? Everyone I've ever heard of considers it the worst thing they could do with it.

And you still don't get them from the actual Spellcasting feature. The language is quite clear.

The Ranger should've been changed to a prepared caster, and with that done, Spell Versatility should never have made it into print. My two coppers.
