Many dumpstats, for example fighters have no benefit from Charisma, Intelligence, Wisdom. So you're a druid, wizard, or priest ? Slings and staves for you ! On the other hand, ranged weapons are IMBA. No companion quests, little companion conversation. No container highlighting, enjoy pixel hunting. To play properly, you need to know what weapon types have good weapons to find, for example Spears are trash, you can find a +1 one and that's it. Save before every fight, the game won't autosave for you. Random trash encounters, when you rest, when you travel etc. It's pretty much impossible to heal without a Priest in party, resting only heals something like 8 HP. Very few per encounter abilities on classes, for example Fighter just stands there and swings his sword. please ignore advice to play Baldur's Gate 1, Baldur's Gate 2, Icewind Dale, and Planescape Torment.īaldur's Gate 1 - unless you're a Dungeons&Dragons veteran, you will find combat rules opaque and enemy defenses a mystery. (ALSO, just in case, if you decide to make POE 2 extremely gay, please don't make all the women look ugly just to be politically correct,thx!)īefore it's too late.

In regards to Pillars of Eternity 2, Obsidian please do a kickstarter if you need one, I got $25.00 waiting for you guys and PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME. I never combat paused in the dragon age series, skyrim, mass effect series, kotor 1, game of thrones rpg. I NEVER combat pause, but for some reason it's actually fun in this game. I can't believe I'm actually having fun combat pausing. I loved the combat in these two games, but Pillars of Eternity combat is just so damn good, especially on POTD, TOI, blind. I made heavy use of the automated AI tactics system in DAO & DA2. Mind you, in DAO I played Nightmare, Ironman, no combat pausing, same in Dragon Age 2. Don't get me wrong, I loved DAO's combat, but Pillars of Eternity combat system is at least two times better than Dragon Age Origins and three times better than Dragon Age 2 & Inquisition. I don't remember having this much fun during combat in Dragon Age Origins.
