It's out next week if anyone is interested in a top-down Baldurs Gate like RPG from Obsidian.

What is Pillars of Eternity?[edit]
Pillars of Eternity (original working title Project Eternity) is an isometric, party-based RPG featuring a real-time-with-pause combat system and a magic system revolving around souls. The game is set in an original high fantasy setting created by Obsidian Entertainment, promising a mature-themed story with deep dialogues, reactive characters, and meaningful choices and consequences.

Looks cool, but I'm lacking time currently. Guess I'll see what the reviews are like.

That looks really good. Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat as Palma with time. Looking forward to hearing how it plays though.

I loved Baldurs Gate so I'm really looking forward to this. I'll let you know what I think.

Well, I did buy it after all and am very impressed! Unfortunately I'll only be able to play it a few hours a week.

*** BUG ALERT *** Major bug - double clicking clothes in the inventory will strip away a character's racial bonuses permanently! A patch is incoming that will hopefully fix it retroactively.

There are some other big bugs too, so I think I'll shelf this for a month or two for them to work those out. I'll probably start over too. In the meantime, GTA V drops on the PC April 14!

Hate it when this happens but I started this game and then shortly after saw Bloodborne. Loving the souls games I started that up and havent looked back yet. I WILL get back to this one though!!!

Bloodborne looks amazing. I really liked the Souls games too, but Bloodborne looks like an even bigger commitment. I think I'll stay away from it for a while, particularly with Elite Dangerous and GTA V eating up what little free time I have (and Pillars of Eternity once I finally get back to it.... oh and that free copy of AC Unity that I got with my GTX 970 upgrade...).

Elite Dangerous.... now there's a whole other discussion of addiction! It's as if Eve Online was an action MMO with no skills or levels other than what you physically bring to the game. Just upgraded my Sidey to an Asp and now I'm set for being a space merchanting, asteroid mining, bounty hunter. Need a good flight stick for ED, unless you are a mouse master!

Bloodborne looks amazing.

It really is. The setting and immersion are like nothing else. To me they're single-player games that really feel like EQ.
