well spent some time on pillars of eternity, really wanted to like it but…well it feels bad executed and empty….for example:

  • you have companions but there is no impact for them at all.
  • you have stronghold and yet again no impact to it at all.
  • story is blunt and shallow and there is no real value to exploring.
  • no real difference for decisions making.
  • you do have verity to chose on with classes - but yet again no real “need” to explore them there is really one good path on each of them and well less efficient ones.
  • tho combat is challenging on highest difficulty (which is good) - there is no real need to go on with ~70% of on times you can just skip or avoid it.
  • etc

graphic is good, all in all good potential yet bad executed.

i dont know why people like it so much its an empty experience - and that from someone who played dragon age origin, neverwinters nights 1+2, temple of elemental evil, bolder gates, Gothic, etc multiples times, so sadly alto i really like that kind of games this one aint good at all.

dead age on the other end is a fun game, i dont see the point in playing it on harder settings as it just get more grindy - but overall its a great survival rpg :)

Oh man, I thought I felt mad disconnected from Pillars of Eternity because I don’t have a lot of experience with CRPGs - I’m glad I wasn’t the only one.

Did you really spend 61 hours on it– if you didn’t like it? Or maybe you left it on overnight or something.

MRLW

nope full 60 hours and there are 2 reasons:

first is that i really hoped im wrong and that it will improve farther down the road…
2nd one is i won it on SG so i kept giving it more chances because of it :S

Trent

Well you easily broke my record of “number of hours played on a game I didn’t really enjoy but it was an SG win.” :p
