It's the same experience that was in the first game. It's not worse, it's the intended experience.
The "intended experience" is worse than the Super Deluxe Golden Platinum Edition experience. Do you really believe they didn't design this game to incentivise these purchases? For one example, do you really think the fact that they sell rift crystals for real life actual dollars had no impact on their decisions for the cost of hiring pawns? Do you honestly believe that the fact that they sell lighter camping equipment had no impact on how much they made the base game camping equipment weigh? If they think it's worth a couple dollars to get slightly lighter camping equipment, why didn't they just reduce the weight of camping equipment?
Do you think that maybe the decision to have one save file per player and the decision to sell a single use character redesign item might be related?
It's the same system as the first game. They designed the same system. I don't know what is so hard to understand about this. They added skips for idiots that want to pay extra, but for the rest of us it's the same damn thing as it was last time.
Honestly, I can't take the outrage culture of lemmy anymore. It's made this place unbearable.
Outrage is a social media staple, it's not just Lemmy.
