Oh, yeah, and unlike any other game made in the last twenty years, you can’t double click or right click to sell things, either. It doesn’t sell for enough to justify the cost of taking a portal back to town to sell it.įor a loot-grinder game, this feels downright bizarre. I quickly realized the optimal way to play was to just not pick up the large majority of loot. Town portal scrolls, for example, are actually fairly pricey, at least from the perspective of a low level character. The barter rates aren’t exactly generous, either. So your “currency” also takes up inventory space. Making matters worse is that there’s no gold in this game it’s all barter. Maybe it gets better later on, but at least to start, inventory space is severely limited. What stands out for me about Path of Exile more than anything else is just what an absolute nightmare inventory management is in this game. Given its popularity with the “uphill in the snow both ways” crowd, I was expecting this game to have some quality of life issues, but I was not prepared for just how bad it would be. Path of Exile is not entirely what I expected, though it is pretty close.
And since it’s free to play, there’s not much to lose by trying. MJ provides most of our PoE coverage, but since ARPGs are one of the main genres covered by my column, I feel I should have at least some minimal experience with the big names in the genre, including PoE. Instead, it was due to my job with Massively Overpowered. I did not, for the record, end up trying PoE because my view of it had changed. From that point on you had to know it was inevitable that I would. A few months back, I wrote a post about how I would probably never play Path of Exile.
