This is not PC game. It ignores what PC is, and everything in the game is maded for consoles and console players. There just few option for keyboard, almost nothing for mouse. And btw mouse cursor is maded in the way, that you dont know, what you can click, or if you clicking or not. If you clicked or didnt. Almost every aspekt of the game is bugged somehow. Sound, graphic, game control, some quests, texts, interaction with player... Everything got some minor problem. User interface and player inventory is pure hell. Is almost imposible to manage what your character is wearing and what weapons it has. Majority of all side quests are all the same. They are extremly boring and repetive. No variety. Main quest storyline is awesome. Graphic is sometimes awesome masterpiece and sometimes worse then 20 years old cheap 3D games. Nightcity is dead city without life. Cars and people are just sprites. They do not exist in the city. Police is maded from special sprites which teleports to you from all sides and kill you, if you someone dislikes you or if you accidently hurt or accidently kill someone. And sometimes even if you kill dangerous criminal. There is no AI behavior of those sprites. Dangerous gang members can explode Police Car and kill civilians without penalty just next to the snanding police and police does nothing. And oposite, if you walk on the street, the Police or other gangs can insta kill just for walking.
Looks VERY GOOD. Going to buy final game at release.
I gave 5 stars. It is good game. but... MAJOR ÍSSUE: Graphic is awful. Everything is BLURed. Characters looks extremly BAD and wierd. Movement looks like they got some movement DISEASE. Combat is total MESS, it is not posible to know, who is who, what is he doing and where he stands. User interface is EXTREMLY BAD. Everything is MESS. BORING uninspiring loot. No romances, relationship, or friendship. Character leveling system doesnt make sense. To be honest, much much older games got better graphic, better user interfece, better characters etc... The GOOD stuff: Story is very nice. It is (warning) very childish, but it is GOOD. Combat mechanic itself is VERY GOOD and fun. Companions are very UNIQUE and more alive then in other games (similar to Dragon Age). Very COMPLEX storyline. Very complex. Choices matters! HAND MADED combat scenes (not generated}. Complex character skills and very nice SPELL creation. Actually it IS funn to play this game, even if it is not perfect, it is definitely worth of time and buy.
So what is this game about? Well, in this genre of fantasy games we got 3 still standing kings. Baldurs Gate 2 Icewind Dale 2 Planescape Torment So, this game is NOT another Baldurs Gate 2. If you ll expect that, you ll be greatly disapointed. Also this game is absolutly NOT another Planescape Torment. Forget it :))) And finaly YES, this game IS the same type as Icewind Dale 2. If you like games like Icewind Dale 2, then you will like this game too. Pillars of Eternity got worse engine then Icewind Dale 2, worse game control, worse user interface, worse game options and worse grafic. How is that posible 14 years after Icewind Dale 2, thats unbelievable... Anyway... Pillars of Eternity got better and more strategic combat, more ways in character and party development, multiple original endings based on yours decisions, and your decisions are based on your character statistic also. Warrior and similar classes are much more interesting then in Icewind Dale 2 for example. The storyline is very interesting and nice. A gave 5/5 stars. Its not perfect game. It got flaws. But it is worth to buy and play. There is no other game such Pillars of eternity today. So go for it and try. PS: If you (how is THAT posible?) never played game like this, dont buy it. Buy first Baldur Gate 2: the original edition. (Enhanced one is actualy worse then original one) PS2: IRONMAN mode in this game is unplayable, dont try it. Waste of time. Even single enemy can wipe entire your party in best gear and with max level. This game is not designed for Ironman mode, trust me.
