I think I finally understand the real difference between POE 1 and POE 2: POE 1 is more RPG than action. You have (maybe too many) possible mechanics and you can study and build your way into playing and beating parts of the game (like a true RPG). Get the right equipment and you can go very far without much skill. POE 2 is more like Dark Souls / Elden Ring and is less about RPG elements and more about action and player skill. As a casual player with a 50+ hour work week/etc, I don't have time (or frankly the reflexes) anymore to perfect a game like this. My perfect game would be POE 1 with less crafting complexity and many of the upgrades from POE 2. But that's just me.

That's more or less the comparison I'm drawing as well. It's still pretty fun, but the random difficulty spikes are super annoying.

@@Gunthrek yeah. I used to be able to beat some really hard PC/NES games back in the day, but I don't have that kind of time or skill anymore. :)
