[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8011452, member: 18"] Ahhh, the classic internet usage of the word "literally", meaning "not literally" (also "no... whatsoever" to mean "less than I'd like", impressive). You're claiming things are facts which are actually extremely subjective opinions or intentionally misleading summaries (using the word "literally" is claiming something as a fact). Across the entire game, there's significantly more "player agency" in POE2 than in most CRPGs (though arguably less than a couple), and much more than PF:KM. I liked a lot about PF:KM (after many months of patching, it was a trashfire before that), but it's a huge railroad even by CRPG standards (which is saying something!), and has more than one really bad bit where you are forced into a bad situation that there's no logical reason to go into, just so the [I]game[/I] can basically go "gotcha lol" when the actual issue was that you can't progress the story unless you "get got". They absolutely do, but perhaps not in the way you think :p The prove my point that you are a gigantic fan of one of the games, and not coming from a remotely objective place, and also that [I]despite[/I] giving the impression that you have fiery hate for the other one and the story is too short, you've apparently played 4-6x longer than it takes to finish that story if you go through it quickly, rather invalidating your own complaint. For reference, I've got about 120-odd on both. Either way, I'll leave you to it. You're entitled to prefer one of the games, but if you're going to claim on is better, probably best not to claim areas where both have issues, and your preferred game has them worse, eh? [/QUOTE]
