Great Story, Great Gameplay

I had been watching this game for a while and I'm often guilty of being one of those people that judges a book by it's cover. I loved the art work in the cutscenes and hadn't really seen much gameplay. I'll be honest in saying that these kinds of games hadn't really appealed to me in the past except for a few similar games that I thought of as the exception (namely Fallout 1&2, Wasteland 2, Etc...). I'm extremely happy that I gave this game a chance and excited to try more games like this. This game, while DEFINITELY frustrating at times (mostly because I'm relatively new to the genre), this game feels incredibly rewarding when the fights go in your favor and the when you get to make seemingly important decisions that alter the flow of the story. I only got this game a few days ago since it was $17.99, but I've already recommended this to friends and fully believe that this game is worth the regular asking price of $45. On more thing I want to say about this game is that while the art style for the cutscenes is fantastic, it is way different from what's in the game. This isn't really a negative per se, but just wanted to throw that out there and let people know to maybe do a little more research than what I did. I will say that I'm glad I didn't do a ton of research because I may not've gotten it had I seen that the cutscenes aren't really indicative of the art style. My final thing I'd like to point out would have to be that the soundtrack is truly superb and I may end up buying it separate, just because it's so beautiful at points. If you're on the fence about whether or not to get this game, I'd recommend it. Especially if you like games that play like Wasteland 2. This adds so much to the genre and makes me excited to go back and play some of the older games of the ilk and find out what I've been missing all of these years!

Overall I enjoyed it!

Pros: - Interesting and likeable characters. - I enjoyed the levelling system, it's similar to Skyrim's levelling system. - You have a huge amount of choice in what actions you take in game and have various justifications for those actions which change the meaning of doing the action. - The history of the setting is detailed. - Very replayable. - I enjoyed the story. Cons: - Not enough interaction between your companions. - The areas felt claustrophobic because they were so small. - The soundtrack was boring.

Amazing setting, lacking gameplay

I absolutely adore everything I've experienced of the story and the setting. It's a nice breath of fresh air where not only are you actually the bad guy, but you're stuck having to administrate hordes of idiots. The writing is superb and dialogue choices are heavily influenced by choices you make while playing and during character creation. The problem is when you get to playing the thing. The combat system isn't complete garbage, but when fights often consist of multiple minute long bouts of micromanagement, the flaws begin to really weigh down on you. I'd wager my problems mostly stem from the focus on cooldowns rather than resource management. It makes micromanaging your party much more obnoxious since you frequently need to look over your party to see if their moves are off cooldown and there isn't much playing around with different types of resources like you get in PoE. Spells don't even end up feeling all that different from abilities on your bashy characters. That's not to say there isn't good stuff mechanically. There's a fair bit of "flavorful" mechanics, but outside of one of the companions basically being a chanter from Pillars, they all have to do outside of combat. Barik not being able to change his armor due to his history. Kills-in-Shadow can wield two handers in one hand since she's a beastwoman. You have to find new spells by exploring the world rather than just getting them on level up. All of these and more are cool and interesting, but when you actually get into a combat encounter these don't really matter. You're going to be changing armor mid combat, Kills-in-Shadow doesn't get access to 2H weapon attacks or using 2H with shield, it's a flavor thing, and I already mentioned the issue with spells in that department. Ultimately, combat became such a slog that I couldn't justify spending more of my time in the game, despite the gripping narrative.

High Recommend it

To start off I'd like to say I got the game on origin with their origin access (monthly payments and whatnot) and now I've bought it here, -- being that it's on sale so it just makes more sense that I do -- just because of how much I love this game. Also, I saw someone try and claim they beat the game in 15 hours, which is complete nonsense, they clearly didn't even play a majority of the game. I think my first playthrough of the game plugged near 30+ and I really doubt I did every single thing. (It was kind of a quick playthrough to get the general feel of the game and now I'm on my second playthrough.) This is an absolutely excellent game, there is so much in-depth lore and interesting things to see and do in the Tyranny world. Which is one of the main thinks that I personally look for in a game claiming to be an RPG. I want to feel immersed in this world and a part of it, I want to feel emotional if a character dies or something happens and I certainly do when I play this game. I've been playing this game ever since I've got it I'm so into the lore and story-telling. You can tell that a lot of though was put into this and I applaud Obisidan and Paradox for this. -- If I were to compare it to anything else i'd say 40k Warhammer meets Dragon Age. The combat mechanics work very well, not too much to write home about considering it's like most old-school RPGs in that regard, however it never gets boring even though maybe a bit grindy. Your ability to customize your character's traits is pretty well done and thought out, It requires you to actually think where you want to allocate your points, I can often spend quite some time pondering this. You have to make sure what you're doing coincides with your play-style otherwise you're just gonna bite the dust. All-in-all it's a really well done game and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys RPGs and story-based games.

Fantastic

This is a fantastic game. It starts slow, I had a hard time getting into it for the first 5 hours, which is a bummer, but it grew on me big time. The main issue I had at the begginning is the staggering amount of backstory that is thrown at you, it's just too much, but it's done in a truly masterful way, the characters don't flat out tell you everything, things that are implied your character knows (like past events in the world) are explained in tooltips during dialogs, which you're free to ignore if you want, but a great source of contextual lore for those willing to delve deeper into this world. I did not enjoy Pillars of Eternity, I thought I might have lost the taste for isometric RPGs like Baldur's Gate, but this game made me relive my love for the style. The combat is far simpler than Pillars, closer to Baldur's Gate, and so much fun, the magic system is very intriguing and very original (you get to, more or less, design your own spells). The characters are very interesting and have so much depth in their motivations, dialogs are really well done, lore is presented in an interesting fashion, world building is really nice. I'm some 25 hours into the game and I'm just in Act II, I don't understand what have people been playing when they claim this game is short, might not be Skyrim, but this so far is a very enjoyable experience.
