Made it past the first boss of Beast of Winter, took me quite a few tries. Big difficulty jump there, I like it.

Finally powered through POE1 after having almost completed it in 2015. Great game but I just wanted it done, it's been too long and I could barely remember most of the story.
4 hours into POE2 and I'm already loving it. Every change so far seems to have been for the better. The effects/animations are gorgeous and the music is stop notch so far. I can see myself losing an awful lot of time to this!

I'm in the same boat but it'll take me a bit longer. Wrapping up White March Pt2, then I'm going to finish a few more quests before clearing the game. In terms of main quests I think I'm almost at the very end now. Just gotta chase Thaos down some hole.

It's one of the things I love most about the game.
For me there's nothing like a huge CRPG city.
I finished PoE1 today and started PoE2. I'm now stuck at character creation. I don't get what the game is trying to say. So... I can import a save and it detected my character and choices. Then it asked me the endgame choice question since that's the only choice you make after your last possible save in the game, which makes sense. Then I'm asked to recall the face of my character.... and.... my only choices are to import from a bunch of pre-made characters or start from scratch? What happened to my actual character from PoE1????
There's no option to actually import your character from Poe1, because that kind of wouldn't make sense with how different the class/combat mechanics are in Deadfire, not to mention you are starting over from level 1 again. Unlike, say Baldur's Gate where the systems didn't really change and the sequel starts you at a higher level.
The import in deadfire is solely for game state and story considerations.
Only the choices carry over, you can recreate your character from the original (same face and hair options are still around), but you can't actually import your old character. This was done to make it so that returning players can also play around with the new multiclass options. Me, I personally just recreated my PoE1 character for my first playthrough.
Wow I had no idea. That's kinda crummy because I don't even remember the exact settings I used for my character since it was like a gazillion years ago. I thought this was a straight import. They could have reset all the levels and skills but at least kept the appearance of the character from the save right? How hard would that have been? :(
It's got a totally revamped and upgraded character model system. Character models in PoE were complete potatoes, Deadfire is a massive improvement in customization and detail. Plus lots of people want to change race, gender, class, etc. I know I did.
