This is an amazing game, but you need to be very careful about it. On one hand, it is an exemplary isometric RPG, one of the best of its kind. It has a deep tactical combat system, engaging storyline built on top of extensive world building, lots of opportunities for role playing, various quests, long branching dialogs, lots of NPCs including your brave companions with their own quests, loot, crafting, your own castle to care for, etc. etc. It's everything that the heart of a true RPG lover desires. On the other hand, this game suffers from extreme lack of self-restraint. It's just too much at once. It feels unfocused and inconsistent throughout the playthrough. E.g., at some point I've had like 20 different quests opened scattered all around the game world. The quests typically have large build-up, so try keeping all this in your brain context for hours. You've just met a character which gave you a quest? In most cases you can forget about him for 50+ game hours before you actually start solving their problem. You can spend many hours playing in the wilds and dungeons, just fighting through, and then you reach a city, and you can forget that your combat skills or loot exists for tens of hours - you'll be just reading texts. It's not all that bad, of course, otherwise I would not spend my 140 hours in it (on a single playthrough, btw :) ). But this game feels like watching 10 different films at once, 15 minutes each at a time, and you can't even control which one you will be watching next. So, my humble advice - if you still want you try it (and you definitely should) then start with game Tyranny first. It's built on the same engine, by same team, and has almost identical gameplay, but it is shorter and generally feels more focused. If you will enjoy it and will want more, then you are ready to experience Pillars of Eternity. P.S. I would also recommend disabling The White March extension on your first playthrough. It's very good contents, but it gives even more distractions from the main quest.

I look for the games with Very Positive or Overwhelmingly Positive ratings, and I buy them thinking they’ll pull me in. And yet, despite all that praise, so many games end up feeling more like work than something I can unwind with. Then I found out about this game that got a major update after 10 years of release. Wow, hardly ever saw a business decision like that in my many years of corporate life. So I bought the game with all the DLCs. With Pillars of Eternity, I actually find myself coming back, sinking into the world, and wanting to keep going. It doesn’t feel like work—it feels like something I genuinely want to return to. It's not as fast paced as most modern games, nor offer good QoL. But you get all the feeling of progression of your power, and story. With turn based combat, I can think and plan to win, rather than react to win. The writing may not be easy reads. If I rewrote it in the games style: The text is laborious to unravel, its modest notion obscured beneath an excess of wandering and needlessly protracted discourse. Well, it may be stylish, but sometimes it's too long and hard to see what it's saying, though the message is simple. Overall, if you're like me cannot find a game that can grab you, you may want to try this game out. --- Update after finishing the game. About the DLCs: - White March I : good story, loots and exp. - White March II : a little too intense in the end, you could lose your party member, not bad, but not a must buy for me.

One of the finest computer RPGs ever made. After more than 2,100 hours with Pillars of Eternity, I can confidently recommend it to anyone who enjoys classic isometric RPGs such as Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment. The world of Eora is rich, believable, and full of memorable lore. Combat rewards planning rather than button mashing, and character creation is among the best in the genre. Nearly every class feels unique, making repeated playthroughs genuinely worthwhile. I've created everything from druids and ciphers to paladins, priests, rangers, monks, and rogues, and each has offered a different experience. The writing is excellent, the companions are memorable, and the soundtrack perfectly complements the atmosphere. The game also respects player choice, allowing role-playing to meaningfully shape conversations and quests. It isn't perfect. The rules can be intimidating for newcomers, and combat can become chaotic until you learn how the systems work. The pacing is deliberate, so players looking for a fast-paced action RPG may find it slow. Even so, these are minor criticisms compared to what the game accomplishes. Pillars of Eternity captures the spirit of the Infinity Engine classics while building an identity of its own. More than a decade after release, I still find myself starting new characters, experimenting with different builds, and discovering details I overlooked before. If you enjoy thoughtful role-playing games with deep mechanics, excellent world-building, and tremendous replay value, this is an easy recommendation. 9.5/10.

I'm a bit embarrassed that it took me 10+ years to actually finish this game, but it was totally worth it. Great story and characters, no silly npc romances, and a worthy successor to the isometric games of the 90's. It is quite combat-heavy and I was ready for it to be over by the last quarter or so of the game or so. Part of that for me personally is getting a bad case of restartitis, trying to make the perfect character I guess. I'd advise anyone playing for the first time to just go with a character and stick with it, they put npc's in for each class so you'll get to try them all out and min-maxing stats is really not vital, even on max difficulty. It's great, so go play it!
