I actually beat PoE2 and all its DLCs (still stuck on PoE1 Act 3) last year. I think you were a bit harsh on Beast of Winter, but I agree with you about SSS. The wackiness of the Forgotten Sanctum reminds me that I have Planescape Torment on my backlog and that I should get around to playing it. Is it bad that I actually enjoy the little bit of characterization the sidekicks got (Fassina, Ydwin, Vatnir, and Rekke) more than most of the character arcs of the full companions? I'm with you that PoE2 is one of my favorite games - I guess we have Avowed to look forward to but that's probably going to be an Elder Scrolls type game.
I think BoW has its moments but too large a percent of its run time is stuff I just did not enjoy. The parts that were good there just wasn’t enough of for me (Vatnir is cool, dragons story is cool, Waidwen flashback, etc)
Hopefully not a dumb question, but how do I start the DLCs? Beast of Winter automatically sends me a message, but I don't seem to have an open quest for the other two and right now I am on my way to Ukaizo.
