Three acts only is a shame

Have you watched first Star Wars several times?
I didn't.

Yep! I sure did.

Re-experiencing something I enjoyed may not have that first kick of experiencing it blind, but it lets me re-examine certain things with a different outlook. Not to mention, if it's good enough? It's still fun.

You're missing out big-time.

ok, ok I've seen Alien 1 a few times :)

Wraeclast has one of the richest lores in my gaming experience. Far richer than Sanctuary's. You only need to look at that history of Wraeclast wiki entry to see that.

And lore trumps story when it comes to game narrative. I find that things go pear shaped when people try to do both at once. Bad lore delivery is info dumping; bad story execution is just plot.

PoE delivers its lore very expertly: it's in the items,the architecture, the incidental lore items, NPC chatter/responses.

Is the story lacking? Only if you mistake the game for the story of the Exile. It's not. It's the story of Wraeclast's history; the Exile is just a lens or torch shedding light on the obfuscated mysteries.

Doesn't mean the Exile can't have a story. Just don't expect the game to hand it to you. Its busy enough telling a different, much bigger story in a way we can grasp.

Yes, I have read the history article in the Path of Exile Wiki, that was the first I did before getting committed with the game, reason why I affirm that Path of Exile has such a rich lore.

What I would like to see is that background being exploited with a more novelist and linear narrative, adding books in-game as in Tibia or the Elder Scrolls series would be interesting, or making quests with more interesting objectives that makes you feel you're doing something meaningful, maybe with game events teaming up with other players as you do in Warframe; or raids, with long quests that implies to find many NPCs in the process and making decisions. Quests likes "Kill Fulano", "Go to X dot in the map" or "Find the Deus Ex Machina" are not good enough for story driving purposes. I strongly believe that exploring that history with your actions in-game is what makes the story of a game good. Not only finding out the past, but exploring the present and surviving it.

By the other hand, I find a little big discouraging that even though the articles in the Wiki are useful to know better the history in Wraeclast (useful because that is actually a compilation made by players of the all the pieces you find in-game about the lore of Wraeclast, being this, a puzzle), that article tells the history in a very superficial way. Of course this is just my opinion. There are players that enjoy exploring the lore solving puzzles and putting pieces together. Everything but cutscenes and quicktime events will be welcome to please players like the OP.

Dude, I've been waiting your reply for years. You should have written: "Typing a message..."

Just bump and let me know.

Please delete this post

I hope there will be more plot in the act 4. Not only kill this kill that.

What would YOU like to see in act 4??

Just log in after the 1.4 patch with one of your characters and voila...you're in the game in Act IV. ;)

You're making this game for years now. Can not you add an act or two more?
I can't play the same stuff again. It's stupid.
