I don't know about you, but I'm just so happy that there's another game set in the Pillars of Eternity universe, I loved those games.

[chocopuddingcup]

I do hope we get some sort of Cipher ability choices in those power trees.

[Noct_Snow]

Can’t wait. Eora is one of my favorite settings and obsidians games always feel handcrafted with love.

[smolpp]

You know? After Starfield im actually glad Obsidian went down the more focused route with emphasis on characters and story.

[WillTheSage]

I’ll be trying it out of respect for Obsidian but the seeming change in tone does leave me a bit disappointed

[franBa]

Pillars did so much for the modern CRPG scene, it clearly has a soft spot in my heart. Great to get this insights from you Mortym! Thank you for your work!

[BarokaiRein]

Using large maps instead of a massive open world actually sounds good to me. At least in theory it's easier to optimize and if they can make content zone per zone then it should be easier to fill said maps with dungeons that work together.

I hope this means they won't fill the game with quest markers or at least make it so you don't need them to know where to go.

[ungreatfulduck]

It may sound small, but I really appreciate the heads up at the start of the video that only the one trailer will be shown so it´s ok to just listen. Shows a respect to the audience on your part that has sadly kind of died out on youtube. Thank you and have a good week.

[Abracadaniels]

I'm dreading an Outer Worlds style/design approach, which is more than likely to happened when you compare the success of that game to everything else they have done. Obsidian seems to be drifting towards fun but shallow theme park rides or rpg-lite for the mainstream audience, and then smaller interesting games for the OG fans.

[Wombats]

Fewer but meaningful upgrades sounds sooo much better than sorting my backpack off the bottom of the screen.
That's been done enough. Elden Ring was a joy.

[MrMucera]

The scaly skin on the Aumaua looks phenomenal.
Not only do we get more adventures in an interesting setting, we get it from a new perspective.
PoE2 is the only CRPG i 100%ed on steam, so i can honestly say i am looking forward to this.

[julio]

I know that a lot of people were put off by the art style change between the teaser and the gameplay reveal, BUT looking at it from the other side, it matches better the art style of the CRPG, so there’s that continuity

[exoxultrum]

Honestly Mort, this game looks great. Maybe not what I expected, but otherwise great. I just need more pillars tbh. Only thing that I'm legitimately sad about is the lack of playable races, because that's one of the unique flavors of Pillars.

[TrueEriel]

As long as they work on POE3 while they keep us busy with this spinoff, it's all good

[karlklein]

So glad there's more being added to Eora. Such a fun setting. Still holding out that maybe someday we'll see PoE3

[Jasta]

Devs said the world is on a similar scale to Outer Worlds, so that's sort of my baseline in general of what to expect in terms of game quality and depth (I enjoyed Outer Worlds so this isn't a problem). If it turns out to be a lot better than it will be a nice surprise.

[coconutologist]

I"m definitely looking forward to your updates on this. Onward to 200k. All glory to the algorithm.

[stefeeNRG]

I really enjoyed Pillars 1 & 2, especially the aesthetics of the first game and the expansion along with its rich world and lore. Looking forward to this game, the footage they showed looks great, especially the combined use of magic and melee combat!

[andrewbrian]

Now, they just need to make that Tyrany sequel too and I'll be able to die happy.

[Nodiee]

It's pretty disappointing to find out that we're limited to humans and elves. I was hoping for some better diversity in an elder scrolls like game. Dwarves, orlan, and aumaua would have been pretty cool choices.

Also the fact that there aren't any predefined classes. I like classes because they help inform the role of the character in the story and world. I would have preferred classes over something more free form like in Skyrim or Fallout.
