I want a phone like a paper map where when completely unfolded, I’d be unsure how to fold it back.

That’s a lot of words just to say you have done nothing.

Does the Steam Deck count as a PC or as a console?

Sure, the monsters are currently to fast and aggressive compared to the player. But that is a different point than what the article is trying to make. The fix to that isn’t taking PoE2 and making it into PoE again.

You can go blast monsters in PoE. Why would you want PoE2 to be just another PoE?
