Pillars of Eternity II is one of the best RPGs ever made, and I would have loved controller support when I played it (twice in a row, because it was so good!) over a year ago.

    This sudden recent attention Pillars of Eternity series has been getting years after it’s release, first with the addition of turn-based mode to the first game and now this makes the smallest kindling of hope for a classic CRPG Pillars of Eternity 3 light up inside of me. I feel like with the success of BG3 and even some smaller titles like the Owlcat’s Pathfinder games or the new Warhammer one maybe Obsidian can finally get a green light from the higher-ups at Microsoft to give us the sequel we’ve been waiting for.

      I’m not sure by which definition of “small” you’re judging the Owlcat games, but, if anything, I felt like they were so overstuffed with content that they would have actually benefitted from reducing their scope. I think I was like 25 or so hours into Rogue Trader and was still getting tutorials for whole systems.

        I meant smaller as in not as popular/profitable as the behemoth that was BG3. Scope-wise they are definitely huge!

      Well, they’ve been dedicated to Fallout now, so I doubt a project like that even starts for a least a few years.
