Pillars of Eternity: The White March - Part II

You can tell as you play the expansions to Pillars of Eternity that the dev team is taking feedback to heart. The main plotline is more engaging. There is more interesting loot (as well as a limited enchantment resource). There are some great personal stories to be found, and the new soulbound weapons are interesting and fun to upgrade ... they really help to flesh out the world and provide more of a sense of place. Finally, while the stronghold is still far from perfect, there are some upgrades to how that works, in the place of written-out adventures that your companions can undertake (complete with unique loot), to visitors with problems they need you to solve. There's good opportunity for role-playing. It really feels like Obsidian hit their stride with the Pillars setting on this, and I'm now really looking forward to Pillars 2 next year.

The White March is by far the best part of Pillars of Eternity. The developers have absorbed feedback and created an expansion that is far more refined and focused than the base game. Many of the developers in Obsidian were part of the team that created Icewind Dale, and it shows in the White March. The dungeons are long, self-contained adventures with thematic enemies, loot, and side quests. The expansion and the new companions in it are also much more combat focused than the base game.

Storywise, an amazing experience, very well written plot and additions to the lore. The exploration is great as was the main game and the first part of the expansion. Combat unfortunately is still the weakest point of the game, but it's not bad by any means, so it doesn't ruin the overall experience.

IN 2024, THIS IS MY FAVORITE DLC/EXPANSION FOR ANY GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED. HERE, HAVE MORE CAPS!!!! for real though, the only issue of concern is that its divided into TWO dlc's when it definitely is just one. STILL A MUST BUY https://youtu.be/X5QU9rBcQXY
