That's good news, really enjoyed the first one. Only gripe about it was the item system. Got most of the way through it and literally never saw another upgrade to my gear. Part of the charm of these type of games (Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale) was all the unique items it had to offer.Pillars of Eternity 2 announced if anyone liked the first. I'm still in the process of playing it.
Anyone else feel that games now a days are absolute shit?

I'm not excited for anything other than Andromeda on March 21. The rest of the year has absolutely nothing that catches my eye. Need more new IP's.
I'd say small studio PC games are in their golden age right now due to the rise of kickstarter and now fig on top of Steam. Pillars of Eternity, Banner Saga, Torment (coming out this month)...
I'd suggest playing through the old Planescape Torment game as well, you can probably pick it up on GOG or Steam. It holds up incredibly well, combat was horrendous even at the time but you can talk your way out of just about every battle.Wow, I just looked up that Torment game. It looks amazing. I'm getting into these old school style CRPG types. Still playing through both Pillars and Tyranny right now. Honestly, there is so much going on in terms of information in those games (stats and the combat styles) that I feel like I'm not doing something correctly, but the stories and characters are so fun and the environments so freakin' beautiful (the visual style is so good...) that I'm having a blast regardless.
I'll have to add Torment to my list, that looks tight.

Anyways, you wake up as an amnesiac who keeps coming back to life, and you quickly realize that your previous incarnations have been making their mark on the city and the people living in it. The whole thing is a journey of self-identity and reverses almost all of the typical RPG stereotypes, and I think it's probably the best written game ever made.

Yeah. I'm actually familiar with Planescape, just never really played through it and had no idea there was a spiritual successor coming out this month. Definitely interested.
Wait, what?
