I really liked the first POE game but the sequel is an improvement in terms of setting, an island archipelago with a South Asian cultures flavour, intriguing plot and some returing characters from the first game, The only thing I didn't like is travelling the overworld through a ship from the map, at first it was pretty fun to manage and upgrade the ship and supplies but after a while it became a tedfious busy work to commute. Still Pillars of Eternity Deadfire is must play modern CRPG.
