Weird how so many people want this game to be bad for some reason. It's looked awesome since the day they premiered it.
They said that they didn't really want to focus on changing the formula to much in terms of combat but wanted to double down on what they do best which is quest design and writing and world building.
Theres a certain segment of people that want thing to be bad so
1. they don't have to pay money for it and play it
2. Don't have to play the sequels since they will almost certainly be on Xbox/pc only
3. Other general nonsense
it's childish, i never want a game to be bad.
Yyyep. Also, Pillars has a pretty unique setting that shrugs off a lot of conventional medieval D&D trappings. The Age of Discovery stuff is superb, and Sawyer's historical and cultural understanding shines through everything.
I don't want it to be bad, I've just been brainwashed enough times with release hype to read between the lines. Both reviews I read corroborated the same issues. Same old Bethesda pig with fresh makeup.
Wait, this is a Game Pass PC game? Well, now I really do have no excuse not to subscribe (since I also wanted to check out Gears 5 & Bloodstained, among other things).

many of those people had very obvious reasons for wanting it to be bad.
I just saw a video this morning that said they don't affect your stealth at all. :)
I don't know, is it possible for you to get through the game without feeling like you are missing out? As for builds, there are at least three perks for being solo.
They might not directly affect your base stealth, but you can increase your stealth without them. Unless when something says "solo" it just means outside a certain proximity, even if you have companions. BTW, your avatar ROCKS.

Pillars has better world building but in terms of character writing (pillars 1 had good character writing but it dropped a lot in 2), quest/level design and combat divinity os 2 is miles better.
I disagree with everything you say, but like I said before the games are very different and serve different tastes.
Obsidian has never made a bad game, so why did people think this was going to be bad?
Other than the usual miserable asshole stuff of course.

Lol yeah same here, I thought there was a heated bomba discussion going on, not just happy gamers being excited :D
Wow, this is looking to be much better than my previous prediction of mid to high 70s overall score.
Have it preloaded on PC GamePass ready to go

Well, it seems the only extra thing I could ever ask for this game is to have a good third-person camera, but I can live with that :P
Seems like I'll have to try this one when I clear my mind a bit, a good RPG shouldn't not be played unless you're in the right mood for exploring and, yeah, role playing...
I never finish Bethesda games. I just can't seem to understand them enough to make a decent enough build. I've tried Oblivion, Fallout 3, and New Vegas and always get to a point where I'm not strong and getting wrecked. I guess I just suck at applying skill points. Glad I can try this via gamepass and not have to feel like I wasted money 🤣

You are like my alternative reality twin. (I didn't want to write "evil.") I kickstarted Pillars, and was so stoked for it, but I found it to be so awful that I just quit. Went back in and tried it again, and nope, still couldn't get into it. (This was 99% the combat.)
But then I found Divinity. I've played through it like three times now. Wonderful.
Different strokes. :)
Well Oblivion had terrible level scaling, so you were gonna get your ass kicked regardless of what you did.
Yeah honestly, Pillars 2 was one of the WORSE pc games I've played at launch. Some unbelievable trainwreck, that one was. Memory leaks every 30 mins, poorly optimized (to say the least), random crashes and on top of that every single stat of the reputation system just wasn't working as it should have
Add to that game breaking bugs and gold exploit. It really was that bad. Not to mention random pc reboots
Like even Arkham Knight was a solid title next to it and I'm not kidding. To this day, PoE 2 still isn't really playable without Kaldaien's mod if you got it on steam, but GOG's version is running more than fine
Havent seen much on performance, any idea what the FPS target is on consoles and if the PC version is a port or not?
