Should I play Poe 1 before Poe 2?

You don't need to play {!nav}Pillars of Eternity 1 (PoE1) before {!nav}Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire (PoE2) because Deadfire has a history editor to import choices, but it's highly recommended to play PoE1 first for the full story, character connections, and lore, as PoE2 directly continues the plot, spoils major PoE1 events early on, and returning characters have much more impact if you know their backstory. Skipping PoE1 means missing significant narrative depth and emotional investment, even with the editor.
