Super unpolished RPG focussed pack

Even after a year of updates since I last played, it feels a beta pack in the small things. They continued to add content, that's right, but everything else was left behind without much thought

Aestetics

The pack by default uses a couple of texture packs, including a modified font, which I find quite hard to read compared to the standard vanilla font. Moreover, the ashen resource pack is just slapped on top of the game, where modded contents are not retextured to follow the same aesthetics, especially cave ores.

Mod choices feels all over the place

Is it an RPG pack or a kitchen sink? Why is there such an in-depth tech mod like modern industrialization along with the rather cool and interesting boss progression? Create is obviously thrown in there for good measure, I guess just for the sake of saying "play how you want". They even removed a good early game storage option (Tom's simple storage), leaving all the work to AE2 (in a medieval-fantasy themed pack?).

Too much RNG focus

You get to build a character and that's cool and all, but most of them requires a "relic" only found in loot chests. Guess what? In my original world, where I spent 100+ hrs goofing around I never found the one I envisioned my build to work with, having to deal with sub par weapons. No way of crafting it, just gambling.

Final thoughts

This pack would be even half decent if the dev(s) took the time to revise some old/not up to date contents, because it's really the small things that made me quit the modpack, just the feel of many small clashing decisions. I didn't talk about crashes I experienced with some bosses I encountered in an old version, because they may have fixed it, but I have little faith in that. This review has been rather hard on the pack, but that's in the hope of getting a better experience in the future...
