________________________________________________________________
I’ve never been a longtime PoE1 player. I tried it years ago, bounced off it, and moved on. But after getting into Path of Exile 2, I started getting curious about what I might've missed in the original?
This video isn’t a nostalgic look back. It’s a fresh set of eyes on PoE1 in 2025, shaped by my time with PoE2.
