What the...thing...is actually happening?...I don't even...

Again, I LOVE this game - PoE is awesome, but it doesn't mean that I have to love every aspect of it.

...

Seems like POE has great lore and interesting plot but sorry in advance for this - it's presentation is beyond terrible. Almoust every line from any character or in-game lore is extremely unnatural, pretentious, insanely cringeworthy and terrible in general.

Quotes in this game are like ones from over the top parody that makes fun of fantasy / rpg genre. But in Path of Exile - there is no place for fun (I mean only plot, world building. lore, etc not gameplay - it's best in the World). Game takes itself to such a serious degree - it's just unbearable. I can't listen to almoust any quote in this game. Even when I want to, I just can't.

I could not make myself to listen to anyone and anything in this game, so I obviously didn't understand anything (except quotes from traders but ONLY when you offer them a trade or leave. Greust is still a dick. Why he is such a dick?...) and would love to get answers for my questions. Just reading text doesn't solves the problem. It's still unbearable.

1. Who are exiles? Where are they send on these ship? Why ship has crashed?

2. What is Wraelcast? It's continent, coutry, whole World? What's happened with Wraelcast? Why are there zombies, infected animals and everyone tries to kill me in general? Why I have to help these people? Why I have to move forward and can't just stay in Lyonese's watch, sleep with Nessa and buy food for items I get from slaying level 1 zombies from time to time? I understand that I am - OMG HOLY SHIT CHOSEN ONE!111!!, but still there should be reason to move forward.

3. Why I have to kill Brutus, Piety, etc? Who are Brutus? Who are Piety? Who are Caom? Who are Domunus? Who are Malachai? Who are Voll? Who are Vaal? Who are Karui? I understood only that they should be insanely badass dudues given how they kick ass and look.

4. What is Nightmare? What/who is Beast?

I also have one suggestion. I understand that for already successful game like PoE with such rich gameplay where plot is secondary thing, it's maybe not neceassary but I think you can't fix existing quotes from characters / Lore objects but you still can work out intro, boss introduction / defeat and outro videos to make understanding of the Game's World easier.

They are staple for rpg games of today. Please consider making them in near future.

Thanks for your attention!

you cant read, do you? i thought that it's mandatory to finish elementary nowadays. and if you cant read how did you write that text above?

for those who cant read, most of significant texts have audio attached. and every exile provides their story at the creation screen.


PS you should try dark souls, lol

In your vision text version makes it less unnatural, pretentious, cringeworthy and terrible in general? No, it's not. It's not only voice actor's way of speaking that makes things roll that way - it's text itself as well. It' still unbearable.

what?
every npc can tell about everything you want to know.
you cant read, right?

See edit above. If you will pretend that you still don't understand, I won't reply anymore to not feed the troll / waste time.

People who are criticizing you are apparently trolls now?

because it's not rpg game.
it's hack and slash, and lore is mere flavor.

now you get it?

I know the answers to all your questions just because I play the game. If you can't stand to listen to the lore, then you shouldn't be bitching about the lore.

I like it - come at me, bro (???).

On a serious note: Here is a crazy idea - if you don't like it, don't play it! (wow, how does he do that? :O Perq is so amazing! Wow! Wow!)

PoE lore is actually fucking amazing, and if you are stuck on hehehe-cartoonish, goofy characters and worlds - you're free to go there and have your fun.

One more note, because many people fail to realize this - PoE is not game about YOU. PoE gives you a world to explore, and its up to you what you do with that. It won't give you any clue, it won't spoon feed you. If you fail to learn, you won't. Simple. And as you can tell, some people prefer it that way.

So yeah, go back to your games and don't try to prove (or offend) anyone who likes a little bit more serious setting.

1. Who are exiles?

Criminals from a different place - Oriath.

Where are they send on these ship?

Why ship has crashed?

The ship didn't crash, the exiles got thrown overboard. Because f*ck going all the way to Wraeclast if you can just dump the exiles, right?

"

2. What is Wraelcast? It's continent, coutry, whole World?

Wraeclast is basically a continent, yeah.

"

What's happened with Wraelcast? Why are there zombies, infected animals and everyone tries to kill me in general?

Because it's corrupted and stuff.

Why I have to help these people? Why I have to move forward and can't just stay in Lyonese's watch, sleep with Nessa and buy food for items I get from slaying level 1 zombies from time to time? I understand that I am - OMG HOLY SHIT CHOSEN ONE!111!!, but still there should be reason to move forward.

You don't have to help them, and you can stay in Lioneye's watch if you want. Or, you can help them out, and level up, and keep helping them, and then eventually help them a lot. Its up to you.

3. Why I have to kill Brutus, Piety, etc? Who are Brutus?

Brutus is guardian the Axiom Prison. You want to get past him. So you kill him, because you are a dick.

Who are Piety? Who are Caom? Who are Domunus? Who are Malachai? Who are Voll? Who are Vaal? Who are Karui? I understood only that they should be insanely badass dudues given how they kick ass and look.

OK I got bored with answering the questions around this point. It's pretty hard to play the game and not learn this stuff, you must have tried pretty hard to block it out.
