    Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire lets you become a fearsome pirate, if you want

    Breaking bad in Deadfire's expansive archipelago.

    [...]

    Obsidian could have just made Pillars again, with a new story and setting, and a lot of people would've been happy. But it's exciting to know that Deadfire is so much more, bringing a thrilling seafaring element to the familiar fantasy role-playing. Naval combat, crew management, ship upgrades and piracy are just a few of the tantalising new additions to the Pillars formula, and it'll be fascinating to delve into the strange culture, rituals and history of this vivid new setting. While the Dyrwood felt like a small chunk of a larger world, the Deadfire Archipelago is a great swathe of land and sea. I can't wait to discover what intrigue, drama, and mysteries are waiting for me out there among the crashing waves.

    Obsidian is trying to modernise tabletop video game RPGs with Pillars of Eternity 2

    [...]

    "You have to think about how the faction you're siding with is going to react? How are your companions gonna react? There are a lot of options and every single thing you do will have a different outcome.

    Video game RPGs aren't likely to fully replace tabletop games. However, with Pillars of Eternity 2, Obsidian is taking strides to modernise tabletop RPGs and improve their video game counterparts.

    I think if you play the game ten different times, you're probably going to get a different outcome every single time - Katrina Garsten, Producer at Obsidian Entertainment

    If the passion and excitement Garsten has for Pillars of Eternity 2 are indicative of the entire team, Pillars of Eternity 2 is going to be the definitive tabletop video game RPG.
