Pillars of Eternity

Pillars of Eternity is a fantastic old-school RPG with excellent writing, memorable characters, and a rich world to explore. While the heavy reliance on text may feel dated in 2026, especially compared to fully voiced modern RPGs, it's a rewarding experience for anyone who appreciates classic role-playing games.

I bought this game in 2016. Since then, I tried to "get into it" and finish it many times but usually stopped way before halfway to the game. I restarted the game maybe 5 times since then. Only this year, 2026, did I manage to actually get into it properly with a rogue, and it has been awesome. As someone who loved BG1, BG2, etc. back in the day, this game was like made for me, but the world of PoE was more challenging to get into than good old DnD was, lore-wise. As I'm almost at the end now, I have to say it has been an enjoyable nostalgia ride. Can't wait to try the 2nd one that has been waiting in my library for a long time as well.

Un crpg en condiciones, lo único que veo que a la gente le echa para atrás es el tema de los diálogos, que son extensos de narices, pero es lo bueno también, por que explican todo al detalle. Arma de doble filo. super recomendado después de acaban una run.

最近玩了一代和二代，没看攻略去玩，真的很沉浸式代入剧情哈哈，让自己暂时忘却现实中的烦恼。 都是一周目打到了最后，但好像dlc的打的少了，后面有空再开个新档玩高难度的哈哈。

Pillars of Eternity was one of the first games of the CRPG-revival. The game mostly looks back at the old Baldurs Gates and plays similarly. The story is intriguing, but I bounced off hard of the real-time-pause combat, which I do know from older games, but felt particularly chaotic in this entry. As combat is most of what you will be doing, even more if you want to explore the central gigantic dungeon in your castle, this just couldn't keep my interest for too long. Now, after they thankfully released a turn-based mode I picked it up again and was really satisfied with the result. While it was hardly revolutionary or got me to feel like Disco Elysium or Plancescape Torment, it is a nice fantasy RPG that does enough to differentiate itself from the generic D&D crowd, with it's unique setting.

Replayed this for the first time in 10 years because they patched a Turnbased combat mode into it. And with the dlcs its even better than i remebered. on of the GOAT rpgs
