Pillars of Eternity: Definitive Edition is now available, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 25% launch discount until November 19, 11PM UTC.
The acclaimed isometric RPG now finally in a complete package that includes every bit of available content: Pillars of Eternity - Royal Edition, White March Part I & II, plus the Deadfire Pack. Dive into the sprawling, fascinating, and reactive world of Eora and discover how Obsidian turned a nostalgia-fueled project into this award-winning modern classic.

Those who don't want to fully commit can instead get the PoE - Hero Edition, White March Part I, White March Part II, or White March Expansion Pass for 40% off each until November 19, 11PM UTC.

NOTE: The new Deadfire Pack DLC is included in Definitive Edition of the game, and is free for owners of all others Pillars of Eternity editions
Also, the Royal Edition and Champion Edition of the game are no longer available for sale but will remain in people's libraries, as normal.

May be this was asked already. Is there a way to buy all missing parts and get an upgrade to definitive edition? I'd like to have a single download, but I already bought the base game in the past.

Reglisse: On Steam if you own POE+ 2 DLC you are updated to the definitive edition for free.

Can we have Definitive for free on GOG too?

Are you serious? Steam gets upgraded for free if they own all the expansions while GoG gets the shaft again? That is just plain messed up treating your customers like that.

It's Steam Forum news...need a confirmation before to get out the pitchforks XD
But I really would like more informations...

amrit9037: Just checked the game in my library, there is a The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt key in "serial keys" of Pillars of Eternity.
I guess it's GOG way to apologize.
:P
Oh. :)

I'm not that lucky. My key is not recognized as a valid GOG code. :(
Are these keys really meant to be game codes? It would be nice to get some clarification from a Blue about these keys.
If it weren't for a tight budget, I'd pick this up in a heartbeat. I was hoping for a release like this (minus the upgrade headaches).

Its the same on gog. If you own pillars you get a free dlc called deadfire pack. It contains all the 'in game' additions the definitive edition contains . for steam its exactly the same. I have the steam game

But you don't get the single download, no? I'd prefer one bundled version, but without buying the same thing twice. Steam is different, because they don't have installers / packages.

astroclay: Woo! A definitive edition is good news for us late adopters.

Quick question though, how intensive is this game in terms of resources? I use a ancient laptop form the mid-oughts complete with an integrated graphics card and the inability to go over 2ghz. Could I run this game even though my computer doesnt meet the recommended specs?
I don't see anyone else replying to you, so I'll try to help.
I run it on a craptop as well, and it is playable. Just barely, but playable.
Its running at 20 ish FPS, but still appears to be full speed, no obvious bugs were encountered as far as I got (never finished). Some oddities with audio sometimes skipping the beginning of what someone was saying, but I seem to recall seeing some posts on the Obsidian forums talking about this happening to people with more powerful machines. (And it occurred quite rarely for me. I think I three ish times? There's still text to read anyway, so its not like you actually miss things.)

Machine specs:
I3 3130 @ 2.6 GHz
4 Gig ram,
Integrated intel HD4000 graphics.

So if your machine is less powerfull than this... probably not. A lot of people probably don't consider it playable on my machine, but I have a high tolerance for low as frack FPS.

Ye the steam client installs it once i selected it as a dlc. but its not exactly a single bundle but also not a separate installer ye. i thought with the gog client once something is a dlc and you add it the gog client installs it with the base game. That is what i have seen with other games with dlcs on my other gog games

For those of us who don't use client for installation, having a normal unified download is a plus.

Tarhiel: Will we, who own Royal Editions + all the expansion content get the Definitive Edition for free?

It definitely would be nice, having everything in one (or less files) than the original Royal Edition.

Cusith: Judging from the post above you, if you add the free dlc you have exactly what you get if you buy the definitive edition.
This doesn't seem to be like the goty edition of witcher3 where they repackaged everything.
Actually, when you look at the screenshot, those installers are more compact (less files), that would be definitely worthy of owning, although I am surprised they didn´t bundle The White March together with the base game into one installer.

Thanks for the reply! I really appreciate the help! So, +1 for your effort!

After posting my message I realized I can actually get about 2.4Ghz since I have an Intel Core i5-4210U CPU. However, I'm on the fence with this purchase since I still have an integrated graphics card to contend with. It's possible I could run PoE on my laptop, but I'm just concerned the experience would be intolerable due to chug. I find that I can sometimes run newer games if I tweak the graphics and CPU settings a bit, but other times poor optimization (or use of the Unity engine) tend to keep me from achieving a stable frame rate.

Actually thats cause the post is on the linux download which has the game in a single download.

Also a fun fact the dlc for linux don't seem to need updating, while each new release on windows puts out new dlc installers

Is my internet that shitty or is everyone else having an issue with slow download in Pillars of Eternity: DE?

Glad I could help I guess.
I went ahead and looked up your CPU, and I'd say you're probably better off not getting the game until you have a beefier computer.

My understanding of this turbo boost stuff is that it only clocks up the cpu if there's voltage available and there's room thermally. Being a laptop the cooling is probably... mediocre at best, and thus the cpu will only be clocked that high for a rather short time.
So most of the time it will probably be running closer to the 1.7 GHz speed, and since integrated is dependent on CPU, performance will definitely suffer.

So yeah, I'd hold off until you get a better computer, or it goes on sale cheap enough that you don't mind if it ends up not working.
