I wish the quality of this game had been made clearer to me sooner. Perhaps the best crpg I have ever played, with excellent writing, voice acting, characters, mechanics, classes, and an open world that feels meaningful and expressive to interact with. I sincerely hope that there is a pillars of eternity 3. The Beast of Winter DLC is one of the strongest story driven expansions I've seen in a crpg, and a delight for anyone who is interested in the lore of the world of Eora.

Well worth your time Great game! Deep, diverse and imaginary characters, world, factions, races, places, faces and story. A lot of gameplay, i have 147 hours and counting (including 1 DlC). There's a lot of trash loot though and I did spend more time futzing with vendors than I'd have liked, but overall, the game play is great and well worth your time if you like isometric RPG's with either real time or turn based combat.

The soundtrack i s pretty amazing, especially tracks like All Gods —very haunting after talking with Berath (my favorite deity in Eora). The slang like Aimica , Gellarde , and Bazzos is used very well in the right places, making the world of Eora feel immersive. Almost no modern phrases like "demmmn" are used, which sometimes ruins immersion, so nicely done. QoL since Poe1 are significant, conversations no longer pause the game, with characters instead idling naturally while dialogue unfolds. Footnotes in dialogue add depth. While it might seem unconventional, mods from Nexus (like [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity2/mods/32]these and [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity2/mods/495]this further refine these features, making the experience even smoother. Story The main story feels rushed and lacks the philosophical depth of PoE1 Thaos arc, still, I liked the final conversation on the Raftel last island Ukaizo about existential debate. Faction quests, however, shine brighter, I recommend halting the main quest at Ashen Maw to complete all faction storylines first(you know when to stop) The Beast of Winter DLC is truly the best in terms of story and choice impact. Forgotten Sanctum is just okay but has the hardest battles in all DLCs, yes, harder than Seeker, Slayer, Survivor (I played on veteran). Now all dialogue is fully voiced (except Badema interaction, maybe bug or something), unlike PoE1 maybe 40% only. The voice acting is great—like King Wingauro o Waturi I when he denies blame, full of emotion, shaking and anguish in his voice. Also I can’t get enough of Pike Trickfoot (Vox Machina) or Ashley Johnson’s voice for narration, so good of her! Something I did not like [*] Weapon balance is bad, really really bad: swords, sabres, greatswords dominate the unique loot pool, while others are cried in the corner, sad days for me when using War Bow as main weapon, now has to change to dual pistols, glad that I found Thundercrack pistol really on early game. Beware of Wand or Scepter, almost non exist in early and mid. [*] Performance issues and glitch : The game freezes every time when first opening it after booting, resulting in "not responding." Poor optimization causes FPS drops in a 2018 CRPG, even on my decent rig on 2024, yes 2024 not 2025 :sadge:. Sometimes saves won’t load (gear icon error), forcing me to move the 'folder save' repeatedly. NPC quest givers like Nungata vanish after finishing bounties Uamoro (RIP my completionist behaviour) Conclusion A strong 8/10 . The immersive world, voice acting, and QoL improvements shine, but performance issues, loot imbalance, and a rushed main story hold it back. Still, a must-play for CRPG fans willing to overlook its flaws. Edit : okay, rushed may not the correct words, more like too short, go there, seek there, find there, contront them and suddenly done for main quest.

Best CRPG I've ever played. One of the best games I've ever played, in general. For some context: I grew up playing Neverwinter Nights and Dragon Age Origins. I got back into CRPG's through Divinity Original Sin 2, however I didn't love how sandbox-y/sometimes silly that game felt. There was a focus on puzzles and metagaming, rather than immersion and role playing. I also LOVE real-time-with-pause. I played Baldur's Gate 1 + 2, which were fun but dated, and honestly some of the gameplay in Baldur's Gate 2 was so convoluted and obscure that it felt like the only way to enjoy the game was on a second playthrough once you know how to prepare for each zone. Pathfinder was buggy and had timers and kingdom management which turned me off. Which brings me to Pillars 1 + 2. I played Pillars 1 and fell in love with the game. The atmosphere was perfect, the systems were fresh and felt designed around being a fun videogame rather than trying to take an existing system and make a videogame around it. However, I wanted more. I wanted more depth, more story, more exploration, more variety. Pillars 2 scratched that itch. It's hard for me to think of this game without getting excited about all of the different ways you can create a character. It feels like there are infinite options, each one well thought out and on a standard difficulty, it feels almost difficult to go wrong! That's a huge achievement for this genre. The gameplay is a blast. Changing abilities to per-encounter from per-rest was a huge improvement alone, and should be the standard for CRPG's. The story is wonderful. I read a lot of comments from Gamers™ who complain about moral ambiguity, or that the characters they want to support morally are not likeable enough. For me and for that reason, I found this to be one of the most honest depictions of colonialism/imperialism in gaming. It does not fall into a noble savage trope. It often goes out of its way to create friendly and likeable characters who support the colonial powers. It makes you think about your choices in the context of what is moral and ethical for the game world, not just for your favorite characters. I think it's bravely written and very interesting, far more interesting than a stock fantasy story. And yet, it doesn't subdue its fantastical elements which stays front and center in both gameplay and story. 10/10

I absolutely adored Pillars of Eternity 1 because I found the story to be exceptional and the gameplay to be solid. Pillars of Eternity 2, in my opinion, offers an upgrade on gameplay in exchange for a weaker plot. I had a lot more fun building characters and engaging in combat this time around, and even though I didn't find the story to be as riveting as the prequel, I still thoroughly enjoyed it!
