2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Its weird because I loved dragon age origins and Pillars of eternity. I thought Wasteland 3 was ok.

I think with D:OS 2 I was annoyed that I didn't choose a premade character at the start, and that the storyline was just, become a god. I don't find that kind of narrative compelling. I also didn't like the fairytale lighthearted vibes. The world didn't feel "meaty" somehow.

You are giving me same vibes as myself, that meaty comment is spot-on. The game tell you that you’re traveling continents, but it never really feels like it, maybe we need a bit more imagination lol

The game has like four major maps, that's why it feels tiny compared to your average CRPG that has dozens of smaller maps to create a sense of a big diverse world.
