[In Exile]

What happened to Pillars, it just dissapeared, sort of. I haven't played it in a while because life. But i haven't really heard much about it either. So are people still playing? Is the community alive?

 

I found it not to be very replayable, so I ended up stalling on a follow-up PT. But mostly I had the same issues with it that I had with MoTB, which is the seems to now be an issue with me and Obsidian when it comes to plots about religion.

So I got around to finishing my playthrough. My immediate thoughts:

 

Spoiler

I have to say that the end result was a bit of a let down after hyping myself up for this. It's still a good game. Good, but not great.

I really think there's a LOT of potential with the setting and all the lore, and I actually did enjoy the main story by the end. But boy did it often feel like they were just giving this enormous info dump to you in a needlessly convoluted manner and you were left to first sort out what was even being said, let alone work out if you're supposed to care.

I shouldn't feel like I'm reading an encyclopedia or a textbook when playing a game, which is the feeling I got a couple of times. It was a very well written textbook, but still.

A story like this one would've been far more enjoyable if it had been done in an already familiar setting with places and characters we already know and care about. This would've been better off being Pillars of Eternity 3, rather than the first installment.

I suppose this might come off as really negative, but I'd still rate this a solid 7-8/10 if I had to put a numerical value to it. I just hope they take the game and the storytelling into a different direction in possible sequels, though.
