Sorry, is this game supposed to be like Diablo?

Well, it's probably just a matter of opinion, but Dominus might be the worst final boss I've ever played. The final fight doesn't feel any epic (story-wise). The enemy is just a guy who turns into an insect for some reason, and nowhere near charismatic enough that you really wanna fight him (which I think Piety is).

But well, since Dominus will be no longer the final boss, I'm ready to forgive that (although I can't get over the giant insect thing). I just want the final boss to be a giant, out-of-this-world force that really seems like a big deal and makes me thrilled to kill it.

But as I said above, I completely understand it's all a matter of opinion, and a lot of people are probably happy with the way things are right now.

I think Piety is good enough, but Dominus is pathetic as a final boss. And why the hell does he turn into a giant insect?

There's your problem.

Path of Exile isn't the same kind of Fantasy Horror story that Diablo or other ARPGs are; it's a Cosmic Horror story set in a fantasy world. The Vaal Oversoul, Dominus, Atziri...these characters have all used the dark magics of Wraeclast to transform themselves into Things From Beyond the Veil. Further adding to the theme? The ENTIRETY of Beyond league.

People praised the dominus fight when it was first added, quite shocked you seem to hate it.

You missed the biggest criticism about the quoted statement.

Implied: He doesn't just turn into a giant insect; he turns into a giant murderous clown-faced incect! Have you seen that shit up close? It's not nice o.o (also, he is wearing Sun Leather, I think, which is also not nice).

I just used "I bothered reading until" for the sake of argument. As I said before in this topic, I am a lore addict and can't pass on any words that are written in the game.

But I see your point. I didn't see things from this point of view. But lore still needs to be way better told. I at least want to know what this so called "Veil" really is.

Well, GGG said at the end of Beyond league: You may encounter Abaxoth and his minions in some form in the future (or past), which a lot of people have taken to be a hint towards Act 4!

I agree that the lore isn't as engaging as, say, Diablo 2, but it's far from the snoozefest of predictability and blandness that was Diablo III, so maybe I'm just conditioned or biased.

EDIT: Also, the "Veil" I talk about is just a general Cosmic Horror term for what separates us and our world from the crawling chaos that wants to eat our souls :P
