If you're thinking about buying this game. You definately should. Better than the first. I absolutely love the fact that it is darker than the first one with a little more realism. Voice acting is massively better than first. Now we just need a 3rd one that tears the doors off of the first two, so we can see you go up to 5-6 like the greats Skyrim & Fallout:) I'm thinking divinity 76.
Pillars of Eternity is a phenomenal experience for anyone that is a fan of any crpg. For this to be a title releasing in 2015 - Upon playing I was immersed into a world that I knew. Beautiful borders, and painted backgrounds of relics, forest, and cities on the loading screens lured me in. The dialogue on this game exceeds my expectations by far. While writing, the attention to detail that was done is breathtaking. The narratives and backstories alike are thought of with the utmost attention to detail. Rendering you a fool if you do not eat every last sentence alive. Combat is very competitive, with old CRPG'ers getting a slight upper hand. Newcomers will have to start on easy. The game on normal truly it meant for gamers with a background of CRPG. Taking the time to adjust a battlefield, or even using a spell that doesn't do damage is absolutely neccessary if you play and more than normal. Quick item's have to be used as well as food.
