This feature... health endurance

I am for now level 2 exploring with a cleric, I dont know if it is a good choice, but I am planning on either abandonning the game or switch from normal to story mode: In my opinion, the health / endurance stuff is really a bad thing, I truly dislike/hate the mechanic. Only resistance can be healed, and even if health is much higher, every blow will lower health(0 resistance is unconciousness, 0 health is perma death). The game forces the player to camp to regain health and you have to use consumables for that. People will say that you find easily the camp material, but I can't stand to be forced to use a consumables, to have limited healing without exiting the area or dungeon. (I can just go back to the stronghold or the inn if out of health) Also the perma death thing... another choice... I have beat BG1, NWN1 (all of it), NWN2 (base game and now playing expansions), temple of elemental evil, Divinity Original Sin 1 and now playing D:OS 2 (on normal difficulties) I can't believe I came to think this game is not for me. It is not true that if you like BG and NWN you'll like automatically PoE... Anyway, I will try, a little bit more, maybe the health mechanic is... at least bearable... Now, I feel quite silly for choosing to play a priest/cleric, as I can't heal health, only endurance which is automatically recovered after combat. In other c-rpg, cleric was on of the best choices... And maybe the stronghold gameplay is not as boooooring as it sounds to me. In that case I will modify the review. (if it is possible) I have bought PoE and white march I&2... but now I doubt por deadfire...

Mediocre Plot, Okay Gameplay

When I played PoE I was expecting Baldur's Gate 2 but improved. I thought this wouldn't be difficult since BG2's gameplay was wildly imbalanced and silly in many ways and some subplots could have easily been improved. Despite that, PoE delivered one of the most spectacularly mediocre plots I've seen in an RPG of this type. I don't want to spoil anything still, but I'll put it like this: the main and only plot twist of the game is something that is considered the default way things work in most D&D settings. Having characters be repeatedly shocked at it was borderline annoying. The game failed to make me feel invested in the wellbeing of the world and I felt minimally invested in most party members. Nothing in this game is badly written per se, it just feels very ineffective due to choices in topic and content. The game neither feels like engaging journey nor does it feel like it empowers you to make choices. The gameplay is definitely an improvement over BG2. Or at least that's what I said to myself repeatedly, because it seemed objectively true. It's absolutely the case that the system is more sane and well thought out than BG2's, but it just didn't end up being more fun or enjoyable. I chalk this up to substandard encounter design. 1999-2001 RPGs were much better at crafting engaging, difficult and/or interesting encounters and PoE simply isn't up to snuff. If you love this kind of RPG, I'd still consider buying this, but if you're looking for something with the story depth of Planescape Torment you should definitely give it a pass.

Decent game

Worth playing. Combat can be very satisfying. The story is not really it's strongest point though. The Baldurs Gate games, that this is a successor to, IMO are better games even today. Pillars adds lots of great things that the BG games could have benefited from. But on it's own merits, Pillars doesn't stack up against the older infinity engine games.

Beautiful and decent game

This game is mostly good for its beautiful environment. I just completed the game and it was enjoyable with fun characters and interesting story. Though, I did not really enjoy the items in the game. They were not really that fun and there was no real unique/rare items except some sould bound stuff. The unique items only had a couple of attributes extra that you could not craft yourself. But it was a good game, but very very far away from Baldurs Gate series. I enjoyed it so it's worth playing it!

A Return to Classic CRPG gameplay

Pillars gets its worldbuilding right, the plethora of options allows the player to truly characterise their own avatar and allows for extensive role playing. The supporting cast of in game npc's are not as compelling. They don't lack for variety, and the characters are by no means simplistic or stereotypical and yet they fail to engage, their stories simply being ticked off as quests for additional experience. The story of Pillars is unique and offers some intriguing insights into the ethos and reality of the world. A region is torn asunder by the failure of it's population to beget children. Without a hope for future generations the citizens become restless placing their hopes with petty tyrants and other charlatans who offer them consolation through temporary solutions. Enter the hero, you, to shape the climate of the world to your vision. The gameplay harkens back strongly to the Infinity Engine games that Pillars was inspired by. The restricted movement, specific skill sets of character classes and party structure all add to the depth and complexity offering a variety of tactical elements to try in battle. The games difficulty can be adjusted allowing for varied challenge levels depending on the player, those who prefer tactical gameplay or those who prefer to resolve warfare quickly in order to proceed with the story. The game introduces some interesting classes, such as the chanter, who at first seems similar to a bard but in fact has some underlying mechanics that add a layer of subtlety to battles. There are of course your standard damage dealers, tanks and crowd control classes as well, and classes can be customized somewhat to play to particular skill sets. The game can offer hour's of fine tuning and tinkering with skills, abilities, spells etc. This customizability caters to a variety of playstyles which benefits the gamer. This is a welcome return to the CRPG genre and the ode to the Infinity Engine games of yesteryear.
