The SteamDeck has been an amazing companion in both playing new games as a parent - the ability to pause any game and walk away is incredible - and in helping me try out games I'd never have given a second look (Spiritfarer was so much more enjoyable that I expected!).
Similarly, I don't have the time, patience, or skill to get into games that expect you to "get good" and have punishing difficulty levels. I have a limited amount of gaming time and I'd rather not spend it frustrated.
I'm really excited to have new content that's not siloed away in its own part of the map. some of the living world maps get pretty lonely, and EoD still feels like a ghost town, especially Kaineng.
Adding more build options by decoupling weapons from elite specs brings back good memories of GW1 and how many options there were for builds.
I'm also excited to see how the maps turn out now that they can build them around the Skyscale. So much old content can be skipped with Skyscale, but if they can assume everyone has access, maps can be built with a lot more verticality in mind.
