Does anyone care about the lore or story?

It's a post apocalyptic world with big red crystals that can teleport you to old timey Great Britain. Its a fun premise with wacky feeling gameplay but it feels like the story takes itself waaay too seriously and tends to dump info all at once.

The lore of each world is pretty cool. In Remnant 1 each world had some fun lore to look into. I haven't finished Remnant 2 yet, but N'erud seems to have gotten the best lore in my opinion. London looks cool, but wasn't all that interesting though the bit with the story of the clock freezing time was alright. Most of Yaesha's lore was already established from Remnant 1 and remains unchanged. There was a peek in the first game of the underlying Root corruption and it is nice to see the plot point come to fruition. On a world level Remnant and Remnant 2 definitely got some cool stuff to find lorewise. You can find a little snippet by inspecting each item as well.

Overall story of both is eh. I love the concept of an immortal World walker traveling the labyrinth, seeing worlds and slowly growing strong enough to confront a legendary threat that could end all reality, just don't feel the story has charismatic enough characters to get deeply involved with the plot. I just roleplay my own character. Because of that I am really glad the devs toned down how much the MC speaks the first couple days were awful.

I do care about the lore/story. But I'll admit there are some heavy infodump segments.

I remember seriously regretting asking a Pan on Yaesha to tell me a story after a boss fight. He must have gone on for a half hour and my mind just blurred on the whole thing. But at least there was a reward for sticking through to the end.

Yeah I find a lot of the world lore interesting but the main story is kind just ok imo. This game also tends to reward players who exhaust NPCs dialog so it also give an incentive to listen to some lore at least on the first playthrough.

Haha, yeah I found this guy on my second playthough and he was pretty mush reading you an entire book on pan history. Its like they dumped that entire worlds lore into him. lol.

not at all

[Skandranon]

I do!
It's pretty interesting.

The "main story" is okay, but mostly a deus ex machina. The stories in the worlds are quite interesting. I find Losomn inspired- it's one of the best levels I've seen in years. Amazingly constructed.

Your takeaway from the story is rather oblivious in itself. I would guess most take at least mor interest then you do. xD

Story/stories seem ok-ish. Little to tell with information here and there with so few books and NPCs. Leads to a feeling of "yeah, ok another world that ended or is ending for reason X; and there is also root".

I found the Losomn story to be the worst and most misplaced in the game(s) so far. Also the roots kind of got out of focus in palces (not a bad thing per se, but strange with it still beeing the biggest threat to the universe).

[Phrieksho]

Yes, I do.

As others have said, the lore is actualy pretty intresting. I think the story on the other hand is eh, but it gets the job done. Im only probably about halfway through though so far.
