Pillars of Eternity II (RPG)

Paul Bellow · May 10, 2018

Following the success of the first game in the Pillars of Eternity series, Obsidian aimed to raise enough funds to cover the development of a sequel. More than 33,000 backers on Fig put together almost $4.5 million, showcasing just how much demand there is for excellent role-playing games (RPGs).

Three years after Pillars of Eternity launched, I took to the seas with an able party of adventures in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire.

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire takes place after the main storyline of the first game, but you don't need to have enjoyed Pillars of Eternity to play the sequel. The game does a good job explaining everything that has occurred already in its intro, letting you choose to import a save file or choose an option that best reflects your playstyle (whether you're the good guy or an evil sod), which is used throughout the story.

If you've played Knights of the Old Republic or similar RPGs, you'll be familiar with this system where you choose what occurred in the past and the game works with the set history. After dealing with all the troubles in the first chapter, your hero is brought close to death after Eothas, the God of Death raises a statue up from underneath the stronghold Caed Nua. It's your task to figure out why Eothas has returned, and stop him with the assistance of other Gods.

I do believe you can get the Critical Role cast in this as well.

I haven't bought a "new" game in a long, long time. So many old ones I need to catch up on. Heh.
