Absolute classic!
Both of these games were instant classics in my opinion. I love the universe, the story, the art, all top notch. Out of the 150 hours i dumped into my playthrough of this, i never got bored. If you like Isometric cRPG's, youll love POE: 1 and 2!

Good RPG with intersting storyline
I purchased Pillars of Eternity because I really love similars games. I spent many hours playing (and replaying) Baldur's Gate, Icewind dale, etc. I really like how it's done, the perspective, stories and managing a band of different characters. When I tried to play Pillars for the first time, It was quite ... I was not able to get into it so I gave up after few hours. I tried it again expecting it would be better (it's just a different world, mechanics, etc) so I kept playing reaching a point when I was uncovering the main storyline and getting more into the game wanting to learn more and finish it. The game is really great, I like the story and how it's done (I would say that some mechanics are done better than in Baldur's Gate), but sometimes I had feelings that the game is quite unbalanced. Some fights were really difficult even on the highest level, some were very easy. Also the end was like ... I was expecting something different. But overall, it's a great successor of other similar games.

Not bad, but pretty boring
It's a game that takes the Infinity Engine and really improves upon it. So a big plus for me there, as I've enjoyed iE games in the past (and continue to do so). The main problem is the game is just... quite boring. Quest are boring, main story boring, joinable NPCs boring. I'm also not really feeling the classes. Maybe there are some hidden gems in there, but meh. And what's the deal with the dual health system? I just don't get it.

Just a great CRPG with only minor flaws
Almost done with my first play through and it was a blast - it is a fairly streamlined experience and characters and story are very enjoyable. I have two gripes with the game, everything else is fabulous in my opinion: 1) I aint playing this on anything but easy difficulty - since you cant keep enemies from rushing your back line in any way you have very limited tactical choices in many fights. 2) balancing your characters' equipment in the end game is a pain in the rear - not sure how, but comparing items should be easier imo. For the rest fantastic game - get it :)

Nice, but far from top
Pillars is a homage to the Infinity Engine Games. You create a character, run trough a huge world and discover your fate. Obviously the developers have put great effort into the game, and you certainly do not make a mistake if you take a a look at it. Still I did not enjoy the game like I did with Baldurs Gate II. Here a list of things where Pillars falls short in my eyes, so you can make an informed decision: The places do not feel alive. In Baldurs Gate people chatter in the background and sometimes people pass by, or run to you to tell you something, this creates the impression of a very active city and a great atmosphere. Dialogues are often well written, but occasionally they are not. An additional problem is, that especially the long dialogues often lack quality and even have orthographic errors in them. Third, the combat. In Baldurs Gate combat was moderately quick, if you lost, you can overthink your strategy and had a much better chance at winning. Every class felt very different. In Pillars my tactics are: Send the fight in front, he can take all the damage from all enemys at once. A change in tactics is rarely useful. All other characters are glass cannons, be it the mage, a Ranger, a priest or chipher. Their abilities read very different, but in combat its almost only useful to use their damage abilities. And there is so much combat, not in the city, but outside I often spend hours fighting before I find a single event or a person, this is not what I want from an RPG which compares itself with Baldurs Gate. I give 3 stars for my playing experience, 1 star for the huge effort put into the game.
