    Pillars of Eternity II : Deadfire (Crowdfunded RPG from Obsidian Entertainment) - May 8, 2018



    Obsidian is excited for Pillars II, as are all the fans of the original. Much of the feedback from the first game has made its way into the new sequel and fans will be excited with the end results.

    More interaction, stronger scripts, and a bit more fun with the world map elements have really pushed the team on design. It opens the doors for more freedom to do a sequel and add in elements you have always wanted from a CRPG.

    As huge fans of the genre we are very excited with what is about to happen in the Pillars universe. If you're keen on supporting Obsidian, head to FIG and do the whole backer thing.

    It will be interesting to see what they come up with. The first one didn't quite hit the mark, compared to Baldur's Gate, but it was enjoyable to go back to that style of game.

    hype hype hype. first one didn't have the greatest story or companions but the gameplay was some of the best ever seen on a CRPG and the world building was well done. could be great if they nail the narrative, and for what it's worth Tyranny's story was p dang good.

    Post-Launch Content details
    Spoiler: show
    Obsidian Entertainment, developer of critically acclaimed role-playing games, in partnership with indie publisher Versus Evil, today announced plans for three exciting, in-depth expansion packs for Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire. The expansion packs will include new quests that will add to the lore of the Deadfire, new areas to discover, new secrets to reveal, and a whole host of new characters to meet and challenges to overcome!

    The first downloadable-content pack (DLC), ‘Beast Of Winter‘ will be available in July 2018, and will take your party to an island populated by a mysterious doomsday cult, that hides an ancient secret. Players will get to experience adventuring in ‘The Beyond,’ a mysterious dimension populated by ancient souls and filled with devilish challenges.

    The second DLC ‘Seeker, Slayer, Survivor’ available in September 2018, is a combat-focused expansion taking place on a previously undiscovered island that will challenge the martial prowess of your party, and your tactical skills as a commander, as you embark on a mission to rediscover ancient relics, and pit your party against Eora’s most skilled and savage.

    The third DLC, ‘The Forgotten Sanctum’ available in November 2018, will test your party’s allegiance and morality in a quest to help (or obstruct) the great wizards of Eora. Will you befriend, betray or befuddle these venerable mystics as you uncover secrets lost to the generations? The consequences of your actions will be felt across the Deadfire Archipelago whatever you decide.

    All three packs are included as part of the Obsidian Edition of Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire which is available for sale now. A Season Pass including all 3 DLC packs will also be available for purchase when the game launches for $24.99. The expansion packs will be sold individually for $9.99 as they are released. FIG Backers that backed at the Collector’s Edition tier or above or included the Season Pass as part of their backer pledge will also receive the Season Pass.

    I remember enjoying the first, but it was buggy as all fuck for a few patches. That and the other planned content makes me think this is better purchased down the line, when it's all available and the experienced improved.

    For those who have already started playing this, how are the loading times? I remember the loading times in the first game becoming unbearable after a couple dozen hours of playtime.

    I haven't encountered any bugs yet. The only one for me is it freezing in full screen mode when I alt-tab. But full screen resolution in windowed mode solved that.

    I've played it all day and loading times weren't bad. They didn't get progressively worse or anything. Graphics are WORLDS better. So far the story seems really interesting. Game seems easier/more forgiving then the first but I havn't had any intense encounters. Most battles have been like 1-2 bad guys lol
