Feels like a combination of Baldur's Gate 1/2 and KOTOR with some of the New Vegas mechanics sprinkled in like Damage Resistance. Obsidian could've easily have made an isometric Fallout in this style if Bethesda didn't own the license.

I tried this out and was excited to play being familiar with the franchise . I came out disappointed. The story seemed good , the sound was good , the music was fine .What I disliked were the tiny character model in creation , the constant map clutter trying to walk around , the lack of useful direction on hacking . It was really rough to get a feel for even a few hours in . Not being able to rotate the map led to a constant feeling of being half blind . I don't want to discourage anybody because I think some could enjoy it but I did not .

@TurnsupАй бұрын
Right here works. I always look to things to consider down the road to review. The main thing I look for is functionality in modules. If I can complete it being the most important and I don't like to throw creators under the bus, so I also look for relatively bug-free mods or easy work arounds to problems in the module.

Thank you for the review! This game is an absolute gem. I can't wait for them to do a sequel. I found it far more palatable than baldur's gate 3. The mechanics were fun the story was fairly decent. The character design I found really fun and had lots of options to maximize or to create interesting story. The only thing I really wish is they had more voice options. But other than that I think this game for a brand new startup company was phenomenal. I had only ever played 3.5 dungeons & dragons and Solasta actually helped validate much of the 5th edition rule set for me.

This kind of game demands us to enjoy reading, which isn't a practice our society tends to foster. I only managed to actually enjoy Pillars (with almost no voice acting and lots of text) after I understood someone's trying to tell me something, albeit from a medium I wasn't used to. I've played dozens of RPGs throughout my life, always skipping dialogue. Speaking from a personal standpoint, taking your time - not only to read, but also to immerse yourself into the story - changes everything, seriously. *Of course I know it takes a lot of effort, so I'm by no means patronizing you.* This is my second favorite game, only staying behind of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous (and yes, I've played Baldur's Gate 3). If I ever get a tattoo, it will be a specific symbol from this game's lore. That's how good it is for me. But it wasn't when I didn't read anything.

PoE 1 & 2 are two of my favorite games of all time. I love the dark story of PoE 1 a lot, giving multitudes of options and choices that really matter. I do have to say, that I really like the optional turn based combat system of Deadfire way better, than real time with pause, especially as it fixes issues with pathfinding that cost me a lot of fights in PoE 1. Useful hint: Auto-pause can be setup for every X amount of seconds in fight, for old people like me who would forget otherwise xD

My problem with this game is that it's too wordy. I tried to finish this game 3/4 times but the furthest I've gone is the beginning of act 3. I found their next game Tyranny, much better in this regard, straight to the point and simple in it's vocab. Although i really wanna play pillars 2, part of me feel like I'll be missing out on some detail for not finishing the first game first.
