+ Appears to have received unanimous critical acclaim (as opposed to PoE) and comes across as a very solid game
+ Combat seems quite fun (but hope that it isn't the major focus of the game) I understand that PoE II supports a newly implemented turn based mode but I don't think PoE I does? Torment didn't have a focus on combat which made it much more bearable. I.I struggle a lot with the Real Time with Pause nature of games like this (Baldur's Gate etc), personally I dislike it a great deal. + I'm yearning for a game that gives me that 'choices matter' feeling and interesting dialogue/characters reminiscent of playing Torment + It's a third of the price of Divinity 2 at the moment I know they may be two different beasts and not at all comparable but one of them will be my next game to go through and I'm really torn between the two.
I'll try to keep it short, the gist of it is that I don't know which game to start with.
