Who is a old school RPG fan? Are you looking forward to Pillars of Eternity?

Finished both the Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale series back in the day. Loved Arcanum and finished it a couple of time!

Would have loved playing Pillars of Eternity but the price tag is way high for me arg! I guess the up side is watching people play on twitch.

Get Temple Of Elemental Evil and the Circle of Eight Modpack, one of the best games ever modded and created. Torment: Tides of Numenera is also due to launch in Q4 2015.

One thing, those who are planning to buy the game today or later, the Champion and Royal editions includes an additional campaign (Almanac) which will be released later. The standard edition is the Hero edition.

Ja ne. And then my GOG download finishes 20 minutes before I've gotta leave for the evening.

Won't have time to play until Sunday now. :(

I wouldn't bother. Great graphics, terrible game.

Have you played it?

If the reviews are anything to go by, it's just about one of the best games ever made...

I'm keen to play it, but I'm going to store it up until the expansion is released.

Reviews haven't been anything to go by for years. They're bought and paid for, or at the very least intimidated into giving good scores. Why do you think that even a turd like Assassin's Creed Unity or Thi4f gets stunning reviews with no mention of crippling bugs? They're just marketing tools these days, many major publications are even proud of how stupidly biased they are after the whole Gamergate thing.

I've sunk 80 hours into DA:I, its pretty epic. Origins remains the best of the series IMO (much tighter storytelling) but beats the hell out of Dragon Age 2 which I found lazy and repetitive

RPGs aren't supposed to be about storytelling or "epicness." Those would be Mel Gibson movies. We are talking about games. They are meant to be based around a deep system of rules, choices and consequences, and being able to overcome challenges by any means possible within the game world. If you want an actual RPG, look at Divinity: Original Sin, or even Shadowrun Returns: Dragonfall, not the run-and-gun stuff Bioware craps out every year. The first Dragon Age came closer, but it still had the typical Bioware (go four places, fight mini-boss, satisfy deviant sexual fantasy, fight boss, decide which ending you want to see, load savegame, see the other one) structure.
