Given how important part the plot and consequences of your actions SHOULD be in a game like this I can't recommend this game. This game had incredible potential and could have had more than a dozen different endings depending on your faction and destruction level, but instead they released unfinished and with only one ending. Also you become so overpowered you can kill entire enemy squad with one spell, or the final boss with 2 spells. Factions don't matter to the ending and player destruction level (coldness) matters less than in elex 1. You can literally be the avatar of destruction of humanity or the savior of all life and both ways have the same ending. Turns out that was a lie, all the endings are much of the same. Also at the first part the game makes it very clear that different factions endorse different values and it affects the gameplay. I'm not kidding, quests are misplaced and out of order, dialogs or encounters are missing (major plot characters are suddenly talking different things that make no sense given how events transpired), major characters no longer react to anything what happens in the word, faction leader(s) don't take any part to final war or any quests, a KEY CHARACTER dies very unnecessary death and it gets mentioned once during the event by the player character and not a single NPC/companion/leader or even the ending comments about it. Before you even get to the end it becomes evident that the game was released a year too early at minimum and this is the part that is not even finished. Part 3/3 is when the game just doesn't even try anymore. Each companion only has one type of mission they offer you and it gets tedious fast to the point you wonder if you really care enough about this companion to do this same style quest again and again. This is also the part where the quests go from being good and diverse into kill 20 X and 20 Y and repeat. Enemies quickly become trivial even on hardest difficulty. Part 2/3 when you have done faction quests, explored more than half of the whole map you start gaining power incredibly fast and can take down endgame skull enemies with one good weapon you have specced into. That is BY FAR the best part of the game and it has a good atmosphere. Take a look how professions work and invest some in them etc. The first 1/3 is classic PB RPG, you start underpowered, encounter different factions, do a lot of quests to different factions around their cities, gaining levels and power ups for the character. "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed" describes this game perfectly. Finished this game with a extremely mixed feelings.
