I'm 17 years old
I'm 17 years old. I'm sitting in front of my Pentium II PC and I've just finished installing Baldur's Gate. I've crafted my perfect character, and I'm now adventuring through a gorgeous world. I've fallen headfirst into the game reading novels worth of text and not noticing as hours melt away. It's 17 years later. I'm 34 years old. I'm doing it all over again and it's like I'm travelling through time. Every aspect of this game is perfect. I wouldn't change it even if I could. I find myself wondering how in-game mechanics work and I'm tempted to alt+tab and google what spell is best. Instead I just keep playing and figure it out myself. I can't even *remember* the last time I didn't look up this sort of info in a game. Who cares if this sword does a little more damage than that spear? My character likes that spear and he looks awesome wielding it. This is the first Kickstarter decision I've made that I am completely happy with. Thanks Obsidian for taking me back in time and reminding me that you don't need gamefaqs to enjoy a game.

Pillars of Eternity is an isometric party-based computer RPG using real-time-with-pause combat
Pillars of Eternity is an isometric party-based computer RPG using real-time-with-pause combat. What is Great about this game: - Complex and deep story that moves the game along incredibly well - Deep character creation and multiple classes each with multiple viable playstyles bringing significant variety to your own playthrough - Rich and appropriate back story, lore, and flavor text added throughout the game that is worth reading - Enjoyable tactical combat with numerous options for pausing and other options to make the game more enjoyable - Unique and sometimes fascinating quest lines with multiple alternative methods for success (e.g. talk yourself out of a combat encounter) - An ending storyline that was possibly the most thought-provoking and intelligently written as any I have experienced What is Good about this game: - The game looks quite nice but could have used more art/animantions to improve it further - The voice acting is quite good where it exists - Good use of Steam features (cloud saves, trading cards, achievements, etc) What is Bad about this game: - The combat could have been significantly improved (although still very good) by including methods to automate companions similar to the systems in FFXII or Dragon Age: Origins - Given how story heavy this game is, it would have been much improved by including more voice-over work. The voice acting is very good, but is only available sparsely. The writing is more than worth reading, but having it spoken would have been that much more engrossing. Conclusion: Pillars of Eternity is the current pinnacle of story-telling in RPGs with a great combat system and a classic style. 9.5 / 10.0
