Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire review

Recommended

Now that I played through the game more inclusive Of the three current DLCs, I wanted to write a Review of this grandiose Game. The Game is certainly not something for everyone. It is a classic PC Role-playing game with what I Think is an interesting Story, some of which comes from very philosophical. That important Sections are presented as in a Visual Novel is a really nice Design Variation and makes the whole Game seem like a big fantasy book. It is also Nice that important Terms are explained again in the Texts by Tooltip. So even after a few Weeks of Rest you get into the Matter Quickly. The Characters are all very interesting and also interact with each other in a very funny way. Eder, In Particular, has a good Dry sense of humor. The Graphics are beautiful and the individual Sections of the game are all presented very attractively. The Side Quests are also interesting and always offer corresponding Rewards. The Puzzles and Dungeons also know how to convince, as well as the Dialogues and options. The Character Development opportunities are enormous and slay the Player somewhat in the Beginning. The Combat System initially appears a bit fiddly and in some cases the Figures block each other. On the other hand, with increasing Gaming experience, you can also exploit this for yourself and thus protect your more vulnerable Figures, for example. Once you have Befriended the Cape system and you can use the diverse skills, the Fights, especially the more demanding Ones, become all the more interesting. All three DLCs are also recommended. However, it should be Clear that all DLCs cannot be played according to the Main Story, but must be solved during this. However, they also partly offer alternative Ends for the Game. All in all, a fantastic Game that I highly recommend ... The Lyrics in the Game are translated very well in German and except for a few small Errors. The Spachissue is in English. Again, the Choice of Words and Storytelling Style is great.

So, I played through both the first and second Parts of Pillars of Eternity (each on Normal) and have to say I really liked Pillars of Eternity 2. I bought the largest Ship, installed all The ship Upgrades, explored pretty much everything and almost all The Quests I could find off ... I thought the following Points were particularly good: + The Atmosphere of the Game. + The Story with its philosophical Depth and decisions (as in the first Part) ... + the well-designed and elaborated Characters. + The grandiose Dialogue sequences with the artistic Representations of the Gods. I love Speakers in Games-as long as they and the Lyrics are good Expressive. + The Text adventure Inserts and Dialogues with different group-dependent Possibilities, Including magic. + That the Story Decisions of the first Part have an Influence on the second Part in many Places. + The Ability to move more freely over the Map than in the first Part (where you could only jump from Place to place) ... + Ship management and interesting Ship combat (even if Entern was ultimately most effective for me) + You have to rest less because the Skill The pages are available at every Encounter. Light Deductions I would make for the following:-the Balancing, but this could possibly be fixed by Choosing a higher Degree of difficulty. I didn't make the Fights on Normal much Trouble, but that didn't really bother me. -missing chance encounters during regular travel across islands (except for occasional Within Cities). However, these could also have a disruptive Effect if they occur too often. You should perhaps think about that in a third Part (* great Hope *). -that you cannot play weather-to-weather again after the End in order to explore further and complete Open Quests. I had to load an earlier score in the first Part, after the release of the DLCs, and play the End a second Time after The completion of the Additional History-especially since it Has an Influence on the specific Part of Pillars of Eternity ... That's going to be the Case again now because I didn't want to wait that long to play Through. I hope that was helpful. :)
