I don't remember having this much fun during combat in Dragon Age Origins. Don't get me wrong, I loved DAO's combat, but Pillars of Eternity combat system is at least two times better than Dragon Age Origins and three times better than Dragon Age 2 & Inquisition. Mind you, in DAO I played Nightmare, Ironman, no combat pausing, same in Dragon Age 2. I made heavy use of the automated AI tactics system in DAO & DA2. I loved the combat in these two games, but Pillars of Eternity combat is just so damn good, especially on POTD, TOI, blind.
I can't believe I'm actually having fun combat pausing. I NEVER combat pause, but for some reason it's actually fun in this game. I never combat paused in the dragon age series, skyrim, mass effect series, kotor 1, game of thrones rpg. I've always hated pausing during combat.
In regards to Pillars of Eternity 2, Obsidian please do a kickstarter if you need one, I got $25.00 waiting for you guys and PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME. Don't go all EA/Bioware on us!
(ALSO, just in case, if you decide to make POE 2 extremely gay, please don't make all the women look ugly just to be politically correct,thx!)
