Just starting to play this (it came out at a bad time for me) and I'm really liking it so far.
I chose a Fighter because this should be an easy class to play as a beginner. No idea which skills I'm supposed to go for, but I'm just rolling with it and putting points into skills I think are good.
What I enjoy the most is the dialogue choices and the quests. Oh man, the quests. I'm enjoying the main quest but all these side quests are so good as well. I'm only in the starting city now, the one with the big corpse tree and I'm hooked.
Amazing.

I had a strong urge to go back to this and start over today. (I started at launch played for 20ish hours and put it down to wait for a patch to fix some major issues, then got distracted) But seeing that the 2.0 patch and DLC are coming soon, I guess I should wait a bit longer.
and you still haven't reached Act 2 yet. Oh god.
You have like 100000 of quests (exaggerating, but you get the point) available at some point and it's so good.

I can't wait!
I managed to defeat (Act 2 spoilers?)
without much hassle, hah. Then again, I was probably overleveled - my party was level 9 and the last time I tried (a LONG time ago), I got destroyed. Now... it was a minor inconvenience at most.
Slicken is still one of the GOAT spells.

Sorry for the double post. Also, Act 3 sidequest spoilers
So... difficult decision up ahead, I think. Either
. I don't like either choice but I'm inclined to
Ugh, choices, choices. What did you guys do at that point?

I kill an orlan kid or the respected leader of the glanfathan tribe
kill the guy, 'cause he's a bit of a xenophobic asshole. Then again, I do see his point when a lot of foreigners throughout his life have been more interested in pillaging/plundering/conquering/killing than something else.

Killed him and his men.

I asked and it might go without saying, but if you bought it as an add-on while backing PoE, you'll get both parts.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Yeah I definitely am grabbing both parts for $25. I already know I am going to buy pretty much all PoE content Obsidian throws my way.
oh, absolutely. I'm wondering if White March pt. 2 will be the last PoE expansion before the inevitable sequel.
Because, I gotta be honest - I haven't finished PoE yet and I want a sequel.
I'm in the same boat. I'm not sure why I haven't finished it yet, but with the exp coming it might be the swift kick in the balls that I need.
So, I never got very far in this when I first started and I plan on waiting for 2.0 now before starting over. But, question, does the expansion sort of integrate into the main campaign, or is it an additional thing beyond?
Like, would it be better to buy the expansion before starting a new game, or would it be fine to just beat the base game, then buy the expansion if I want, because it all happens afterwards/separately?

I'd say it's an excellent time to jump back into it.
It's definitely not a sequel - more of a big quest that opens up after you gain your stronghold in the main game (which is early/mid game, I'd say?)
Good thing it's apparently very easy to just roll back from the beta branch on Steam very easily.
EDIT: in case y'all haven't seen it yet, Obsidian uploaded a short video about some areas in the expansion

On an related note to PoE, Joshua Sawyer has started streaming Darklands on Twitch from time to time. He's live as I'm writing this.

Really exciting time for a second playthrough having not played since launch.
Tomorroooooooooooooow!
Time flies.
It doesn't fly fast enough, and when it arrives, Pillars and Mega Man will have to fight it out for my time.
I want to play Path of the Damned & Expert Mode, and I'm thinking of going with an all out tank character... Leaning towards a Warrior with low damage & just max mitigation stats, as that way I can avoid using

More interesting loot is definitely one of the things that Pillars needed. Awesome.
$25 for WM 1&2? Where are you getting that price from?
That's the official Obsidian word. One expansion for $15 or both for $25.
Bargain!

Wow, so the xpac is coming out imminently, huh? I didn't realise.
Those sound cool. I wonder how they'll balance the unlocks to avoid a feeling of "grinding." Hopefully the progression is meaningful without feeling pointless or grind-y.
Unlocking the lore a piece at a time is an interesting idea. Depending on how they dispense it, it could be a really cool thing.
In short, cool.
I want a Soulbound druid form. Obsidian pls

oh indeed. It's a damn good price.
Me neither! I don't recall any discussion about them in the White March announcement a while ago - so it was a very nice surprise
Yeah, it's a delicate balance.
So, with Patch 2.00 out today; this sentence in the notes from when it was in Beta suggests that previous saves will be incompatible with Patch 2.00?
http://steamcommunity.com/games/291650/announcements/detail/132080773557782343
Or is this just for the Beta-build that saves weren't able to mesh together properly?
I'm only a few hours in to the game, so a restart isn't much hassle for me. I've been very, very patient waiting for Party AI, but this is going to be a bit of a problem for other players if it's happening, especially considering the expansion happens partway into the game.

I think you have it reversed - it is saying saves created after you update to 2.0 will not be compatible with older versions of the game. It makes pre-2.0 backups of any saves you have when you update to 2.0 just in case.
Okay, now that you it that way, I can see how it's actually meant to be read.
Thought it was about to be a return to the dark days of CRPG-patching.
There's absolutely nothing anywhere right now. Looks like it's all going live at once when Obsidian's ready later on.
