After playing some Pathfinder Kingmaker I got crazy and replayed Chrono Trigger. After that I’ve tried some other RPGs and discovered that there is an eternal war between RPGs with and without trash fights. Chrono Trigger has almost no trash fights, Fallout 1 is a very different game but it has no trash fights too. Planescape Torment, Baldur’s Gate and Pathfinder Kingmaker are full of trash fights (and in case of PT the combat is not that bad, it’s just you get a lot of fighting against armies of clones), but similar games like Dragon Age Origins (and even 2) or Pillars of Eternity 2 had much more reasonable number of encounters. And Tyranny starts getting a lot of trash fights after Act 1 even though it’s very similar to PoE and you’d expect devs to understand the problem.
Anyway, PoE2 still has some relatively boring fights that you know you’ll win but you have to microcontrol your party, heal and so on. Still good, could have been better.
