^I've played Pillars of Eternity, and I feel like if you've played Baldur's Gate, it's kind of much the same, in both the good and the bad. If you're much into the D&D mechanics, I think I've read you're going to disagree, but I'm not, so whatever. Anyway, I think it's a great game, but sadly I've yet to finish it because I got distracted years ago by... something. Judging by the release year, I think I got distracted first by Cities: Skylines and then Metal Gear Solid V, so for me, it's no wonder I got distracted.

Sadly I can't remember pros and cons very well anymore. I just remember it's quite reminiscent of the Baldur's Gate games. It's been a really long time since I played it very much, although I've made a short return a few times along the years. I did like it enough to back the development of the sequel too, though, and get Tyranny from a sale - neither of which I've even started, because I want to finish the first Pillars of Eternity first.

Thanks for your impressions. I've played very few RPGs and most wee japanese ones, so I'm not very used to western titles. That means that I haven't played Baldur's Gate and I don't know much about D&D either.

And I think we all have had times when we've been distracted for one reason or another from a game we've been playing and never got back to it. Now that I think about it, this happened to me years ago when playing the first Dragon Age game. I can't play it right now (no optical drive on my PC), but I think I have it on the EA app. Maybe I should try this game instead...

*Edit* An update and a restert later and yes, I have the first Dragon Age in the EA app.

Global PC Shipments Saw A Good 6.7% Year-on-Year Growth In Q1 2025 Despite Looming US Tariffs

Despite looming tariffs? More because everybody trying to get their hands on the new hardware before those kick in...

Yeah, this is more a case of because the looming tariffs rather than despite them. Sales in Q2 may fall off a cliff.
