Pillars of Eternity

Great game if you love isometric RPGs. **What I loved:** - Visuals - Itemization - The maps and areas - The core story idea and the whole souls arc - The scale of the game - The stronghold you get to upgrade **What I didn’t love:** - Too much text and lore. I actually like dense lore, but this felt bloated. - Repetitive combat. Walk into room → 8 enemies. Next room → same thing. It got old. - Soulbound items. The idea is cool, but upgrading a bunch of them turned into a chore. Too many options started feeling like not enough. - Companion conversations. Most of the time they just lecture you with history instead of actually bonding. Almost no real romance or meaningful personal connection. - Underused engine. When they fully lean into the animated + text “choose your adventure” moments, it’s ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ great. They just didn’t do it enough. **Verdict:** Recommend it only if you’re already hardcore into this style of game. It’s long, and by the end (especially with the expansion) you’ll start drifting in and out. The expansion itself is excellent though.

Came back to the game after years, was displeased to find it with a rather tedious bug(s) that really grinds my gears. Enemies will display extreme brain injury during their turns, casting spells at their feets, standing still like they're having a seizure, just to crash my game when i approach them... Sometimes they just decide they had enough with the ongoing battle and just... You guessed it, stand still. Yeah it's Obsidian... I get it the games they make will always have tons of bugs... But I'd rather play Fallout: New Vegas without the unofficial patch than this one. I'm not going to fight the same three hundred spiders in the basement of Caed Nua a third time.

I really enjoy RPGs with rich lore and mechanics. This scratches that itch I had after finishing my last BG3 playthrough. I prefer turn-based combat in RPGs and I have to admit that my first playthrough of PoE was after they added the turn-based mode, and I have to say that it's been a joy to play! It doesn't seem at all like a game that added this system later. It works seamlessly and is really fun. PS. And the music is wonderful too! One can tell that this was a game made by people passionate about RPGs.

It's a great game which is pretty long did every quest and task I could find in it and it took me 70 hours. Even the dragons were awesome. The story is great and the world looks very good (congrats to the art team). The companions are great and love the optional bosses and DLC. My only small gripes are the companions quests some of them end kind of scattered in the wind or have a really meh ending but I feel that they are more about the journey than the conclusion. Second gripe is that Priest is kind of mandatory in the party. Without a priest enciunters go really sideways reaaly fast. A priest can change the entire outcome of a battle with one spell. The duration of enemy debuffs it's quite long and without a priest you are fightung minus one or two for half the fight so yeah. Had a persistent bad bug with chanter but stopped using chanter companion and forgot about him after I completed his quest. Everything elae went smooth. Another small gripe is after you do the DLC content and get to the final stage of the game nothing can litereally stand in your way l, everything becomes a super eazy encounter and the final fight is just a joke compared to the DLC fights. Other than that had a great time with the game and would reccomend to try it out. There is more to it than the initial hours.

i saved a baby from crazy cult dan in the next sequel of the game (Deadfire) the baby becomes my shipmate. 10/10.

Tres drole

good

I just love it, my kind of game. Heavy on the story.
