There will be a Part 2, and that will conclude The White March content. Pillars of Eternity: The White March – Part 1 is “coming soon” I’m told, with no specific release date at this time. Now, when you level up, you can create new, crazy builds that you wouldn’t be able to create elsewhere. Weapons have this cool ability to be soulbound, and imbue special benefits as you continue to use them. As per another player request, was that they enabled cross-class talents.

There’s an option to do individual stealth – which is huge, as it allows the rogue character sneak around and do recon.Īnother great addition, is that of party AI. The monk uses elemental powers, and the rogue is a devilish construct. Each are new additions, and don’t double up on character classes that already exist. There’s two new characters to play as: the Monk and Rogue. They come in a variety of different shapes, qualities, and sizes, and have their stats affected by each. Obsidian began the quest to gain access to Durgen’s Battery, what followed contained a lot of new, and updated Pillars of Eternity that has been the result of player feedback.
