The worst part of this series is the big cities with many houses and loading times for every single one both entering and exiting. That's what makes parts of the story feel like something you suffer through.

Otherwise fun games.

Get a SSD.

That only helps a little bit. You can load the entire game into a ramdisk and the loading times for those tiny indoor areas will still be ridiculously slow - really anything slower than instantaneous should be unacceptable. We're not talking about crazy-detailed 3D levels here. And if it was the disk speed or latency is the limiting factor (which for Pillows it is not) it is still a failure of the Unity and incompetent devs to not sufficiently predload and optimize their data layout. No need to make excuses for incompetence.

Grab the Codex by the pussy Codex USB, 2014 Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
PoE1 stank, but I did enjoy PoE2 and will probably return to it again in the future. Definitely go with RTwP; I'm a turn based supremacist but the game is clearly designed for RTwP and the transition to TB did not go as well as it did in Kingmaker/WotR. It will take you 100 years to complete the game if you go TB. I have no interest at all in the west indies, pirates, or hawaiians, but somehow it still managed to keep me entertained.

Also, PoE2 has Rymrgand, the best god.
