[QUOTE="Ranes, post: 6785531, member: 4826"] Pillars of Eternity wore off on me before I got to the end. I thought the magic spells were too narrow in scope, I disliked the fact that you could only apply potions and other consumables in combat (their effects wore off as soon as combat ended) and the AI really bugged me, because you couldn't completely turn it off and micro-manage your party (which is what I like to do). Consequently, the characters would frequently act spontaneously in ways I found frustrating and counter-productive. Having said that, it looked and sounded gorgeous, had some terrific lore, a good stronghold-building aspect (which I didn't think I'd like as much as I did) and plenty to do. My gripes about combat aside, it could also really throw a decent battle your way every now and then. Overall, I thought it was a good effort but not great. But ten out of ten for mentioning Darklands (which auto-correct wants to change to 'Parklands'). That was a stunning piece of work. [/QUOTE]
