Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire - Obsidian Edition

A great game, terribly optimized.

I love this game. I love the world lore and the story it's built around. Even with the bugs. Even with the price. It's a great game. They changed alot of things for the better since the first Pillars as well, like the gameplay, the combat mechanics, the multiclassing system, the looks. Boy, it looks good. However, something got worse. The optimization in Pillars of Eternity Deadfire is abysmal. If you have anything less than a GTX 1070, expect frame rates droping as low as 20, or below. It doesn't get much better if you have a GTX 1070 or better graphics card either, because certain areas and encounters won't give you more than 30 fps even on a 1080 Ti. Don't believe me? I couldn't believe it either when my GTX 1060 couldn't run this game smoothly. Do a quick search on Google, type ¨POE 2 fps¨ for a myriad of complaints and solutions varying from gpu panel tweeks, to modding, to actually scripting certain functions into the game. So, if like me, you're not a technician, and just want to play a game, confidant that your hardware meets the specified system requirements... be warned.
