Time to track down the remaining crew and get back on the seas! This opening area is kind of your tutorial/introduction and quite frankly I felt like I needed it. Our adventure doesn’t get off to the best of starts as our ship crashes on to some rocks and we wake up on a beach with your ship in tatters strewn across the sands. Customisation options are decent, and there is a massive screen of perks and upgrades available for all classes so you can tweak and tailor your player pretty much however you want. As you might expect, all your classic high fantasy tropes are here and I eventually settle on playing as a nimble wood elf with a penchant for stealing things and staying in the shadows. So off I go embarking on a new fantasy adventure, but first things first is character creation. I wake in some kind of dream world/purgatory and get a second chance to go back to the world of the living to pursue this God who is literally (apparently) running across the lands of the Deadfire Archipelago – he’s also pretty massive too, you can see his footprints on the world map as you explore. Some sequels don’t follow on directly from the first game, but Deadfire most definitely does. Which meant that right from the off I was a little confused – I guess that was kind of to be expected. Unfortunately I never got around to playing the first Pillars of Eternity game, so I’m not exactly up to speed with the story and what has been going on up to the point where the sequel starts. Bend the world to your will, as you explore the depths of infinite possibilities, including detailed character customization, total freedom of exploration, and more meaningful choices at every turn. Captain your ship on a dangerous voyage of discovery across the vast unexplored archipelago region of the Deadfire. Pursue a rogue god over land and sea in the sequel to the multi-award-winning RPG Pillars of Eternity. They’re back with a sequel to the popular Pillars of Eternity, with Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire. Obsidian Entertainment have a pretty good track record for RPG’s – South Park: The Stick of Truth, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2, Fallout: New Vegas to name just a few.
