Pillars of Eternity II does make a tweak to the pure, Dungeons & Dragons-style adventuring of the first game. Character-driven with a mixture of lengthy and short side-quests, it's traditional role-playing gameplay at its finest. The title takes its cues from classic isometric RPGs like Baldur's Gate and Fallout, with small, pre-rendered maps visitable within the wider world. The gameplay of Pillars of Eternity II will be familiar to anyone who grew up playing computer RPGs in the 2000s.
