![]() ![]() The game will throw many quests at you, choosing whether or not you’ll complete them. The game will have you explore a gigantic world, talking to many NPCs, killing off enemies and gathering new gear. Pillars of Eternity Complete Edition is a traditional RPG, with some D&D influences, very much like the Divinity series, albeit a bit less polished. All of this makes the game feel alive, and very interesting to immerse yourself in what is going on. The game also has a lot of voice acting present, and while sometimes certain dialogues stop being voiced, there’s still plenty of good acting to enjoy. You’ll hear a soothing orchestra play on the background, which gets a bit heavier when the situation desires for it. The cinematic soundtrack accompanies everything you do on your great, but arduous, journey. The sound design has been exquisitely handled. Things have been handled with the selection wheel, which is quite common in games such as this. The UI is quite clear and there are enough hints on which button(s) to press if you’re looking for another menu. The top-down perspective allows for things to be a bit simpler, and the Switch does its best to present you with a good-looking and fluent experience. The same cannot be said about the inhabitants of the world who feel a bit dated and underdeveloped against the superbly crafted backdrops. We can’t say that this game is the epitome of beauty, but the environments are exceptionally well crafted and feel like a piece of art you’re wandering through. Overall the story is pleasant and the amount of voice acting does add a lot of weight and value to the story that is being told. The story is told with a lot of text and some drawn intermezzos. From here on out your real journey begins. The village is being plagued by what they call the Hollowborn Plague, where children are born without a soul, rendering them pretty much paralyzed without any signs of life, safe for breathing and heaving a pumping heart. Things don’t get better when you arrive in Dyrwood, the place you were supposed to start over, as you’re only met with a cold shoulder. Not only has the ritual murdered the last remaining survivors, but it also awakened something in you, as you now see strange visions. You make it out, only to find your allies dead after witnessing a strange ritual. Sadly things go awry and the caravan is brutally butchered by some of the locals safe for you and two others. After that, you will find yourself accompanying a caravan that will take you to a ‘new world’ to start over with your life. The game starts off with you creating a character out of the different races and classes available to you. We were ready to once again be an Awakened soul in a brand new world. While the second game is already out and also received a lot of good reviews, we decide to dive back in the Complete Edition of the first part. Years later the game would still be popular and eventually, it was released for Xbox One and PS4, with now the Switch release in tow. ![]() Pillars of Eternity was a Kickstarter project several years ago, and the game was released in 2015 for PC. ![]()
