In the world of CRPGs, Pillars of Eternity has it all. Satisfying and thoughtful combat, a ludicrously detailed world rich with history and layered characters, and a somber, heady narrative where the very foundations of the fantasy genre are turned on their heads. There is a sickness eating at the world of Eora, and the secrets you dig up on the path to cure it are devastating.
This game is wordy, complicated, difficult to get into, and overflowing with disparate mechanics holding together its convoluted combat system. But once you're stuck in, there's so much to explore with this game. It's a marvel.

I've tried to get into this game on two separate occasions, and both times I've failed to get more than a couple hours in. As a fan of turn-based combat, I just don't jive with the gameplay.
Absolutely goated. Love this game. Wish my mac could play the sequel without exploding/was on geforce now. I love eder, aloth, pallegina, and HIRAVIAS so much it's not funny. Durance is sooooo interesting though I don't love him lol. And the lore is so cool, loved all the gods, it was really an amazing experience. My half a star off is because I really HATE the combat system, I'm so pathetically bad at RTWP it is not funny and it was either too easy on easy or too hard on normal for me. But this is personal and if you like rwtp you will love this game.
Backed the kickstarter, enjoyed it a lot but did get kind of bored after 40 hours and dropped it. Might go back some day, I am much better about finishing games nowadays.
This "Totally Not Baldur's Gate" has a lot of potential, the worldbuilding, quests and dialogues are all masterfully written, however the combat system may feel a very steep difficulty curve, even to CRPG veterans. The Xbox version(And probably PS too) are NOT RECOMMENDED because they haven't released fixes to many quests and achievements, rendering them uncompleteable.
Really, really good
The combat isn't for me but I'm absolutely in love with everything else
Had a great time
