Pillars of Eternity: The White March - Part II is now available

The second expansion to the very successful Pillars of Eternity has been released. Not only does the expansion conclude the story but a large patch has come out alongside it, bringing new free content for all owners of the base game.

Pillars of Eternity was one of my favorite games of last year. It came out following a massively successful crowdfunding campaign and it was pretty much all that I expected save a few things here and there. It’s a beautiful game with a compelling world and I couldn’t wait to see what else the developers did with the game. The promise of more areas to explore along with new companion and story should be enough to entice any owners of the base game to come back and check out the expansion.

A rather big patch was released alongside the expansion, adding more content for the base game as well as new features for different kinds of players. If you like the story and aren’t too happy about combat, there’s a mode for you that takes the emphasis away from needing to build a good party of fighters. There’s scores more changes including the usual balance and polish expected from an important patch.

Though this second expansion is the last of the announced projects for the Pillars world, the CEO of Obsidian seems keen to keep on working on the franchise, stating, “[...] we’ve got plenty more stories we plan to tell within the world of Pillars of Eternity.”

I hope they do. Even if these days I’ve got way too many games competing for my attention.
