Example of how games should be made!

I have only been playing for a few hours and WOW. I have not played a game like this since Baldurs Gate and Icewind Dale. Very nice graphics for todays RPGs, the story is so rich and keeps you wanting more, its not just about the combat, it actually has a deep story. Most of the conversations i had so far had voice acting which is refreshing since most of the new RPGs coming out lately done so cheaply. This game tops it again and i think this game is a jewel and will make its mark in the gaming industry. I would recommend this game very highly to anyone who enjoyed games like Baldurs Gate, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights and Planescape: Torment. It has a deep enriching story for any real ROLE PLAYING gamers. Then combat is very nicely done, character creation very deep, back story very nice for the characters. Lots of modes to choose from for difficulty, iron mode etc. Journal is so nicely done to keep track of quests, Cyclopedia consisting of Bestiary, Afflictions and Injuries, Character Stats, Combat Mechanics, Deities and Equipment. You can even create your own notes. The game is stable and i have not had any bugs or crashes YET, lol. For a game that started as a kickstarter project i can definitely say they show other established developers and publishers how its done. A Definite buy for any RPG gamer. I hope you find this review helpful. Regards to all GOG brothers and sisters.

The Unity Engine

Complex RPGs such as Pillars of Eternity have many technical areas that need to be both functional and unintruseivly transparent so that the stylistic areas of the RPG such as story and atmosphere can be what captures and holds the gamers attention. Luckily the Unity Engine that PoE is created on is so far seemingly powerful and flexible enough to handle those technical features such as audio and video sub-systems and save game management with fast stutter-free framerates and unintrusive level loads. Responding to user feedback from the rather bland Beta, player avatars are now correctly (larger) sized and while PoE has very little character customizations, the equipment is correctly presented on the character and animations are much more fluid and natural. Combat animations seem logical and hits look like hits, misses look like misses. Varying stages of zoom is also available and handy. Consider that the vast majority of your time you are going to be looking at your characters and what they are doing, how they look while doing it is of the highest importance and it's the primary way to convey that 'Baldur's Gate' style. However, the character doll sheet and the inventory pages are still breathtakingly substandard with too small pigeon holes for your gear on a very basic background with hardly any artistic presentation or style. Character specs are presented with modifier after modifier cluttering that area where you expect to find basic useful data. However, there are numerous UI modifiers such as selectable 'bullet-time' for combat and various auto-pause options that are as thoughtful and necessary as player choice UI options such as a selection-circle toggle and movable dialog windows. Even game play difficulties are detailed and unexpectedly useful. Fonts and dialogs are easy to read and player choices in dialogs (and clickable on-screen elements) are clear and obvious. The story behind those dialogs however, that's another review.

Men Who Stare at Black Screens

I really do want to like this game. I really do want to enjoy what it has to offer. But... When loading times are SO slow, you end up spending almost half the playing time staring at a black loading screen... Well, that just kills the experience.

Too long didn't read!

I hope you like reading because that's half the game, the rest is fairly boring combat. Every time combat starts the nice mood set by the normal music is destroyed by the combat music.. It's better to mute the game and play the soundtrack on Youtube. There are many classes, but they all feel too similar. The lore seems fun, but the story is always kinda sitting in the backseat while you mess around in the woods or in some dungeon you can't really do because some skill is too low level even though you may have done everything you possibly could and focused every point into it. It's no Baldur's Gate, hell, it's not even as good as Icewind Dale 1. Get it on sale.

another (greatly) overrated RPG

Another piece of game nonsense, all of a sudden Calischa whatever she's called 'left' with my flask! This after we fought together. So stupid. This game has a serious flaw: no humour whatsoever, as stiff as a metal pole. The music is great and as a musician myself I appreciate more than most, but it won't be enough to convince me to devote dozens of hours to this game. And no tutorials whatsoever, and the combat is rubbish....pause every 5 seconds, etc. Most RPGs aren't good enough, and this one is no exception
