Ahead of Avowed’s Release, Obsidian’s Classic RPG Pillars of Eternity Available at a Bargain Price

Few studios can boast the RPG prowess of Obsidian Entertainment. Over the past two decades, they’ve delivered gems like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II, Neverwinter Nights 2, Fallout: New Vegas, The Outer Worlds, and Alpha Protocol, just to highlight a few. Their much-anticipated upcoming release, Avowed, promises a Skyrim-esque fantasy adventure, teeming with rich narratives, breathtaking landscapes, and a vast world waiting to be explored. While we’ll have to be patient a little longer before it hits the shelves, there’s no better time to dive into some of Obsidian’s earlier works. During this current Steam sale, I’d highly recommend checking out Pillars of Eternity to satiate your fantasy cravings.

For those of you who have recently been captivated by Baldur’s Gate 3, Pillars of Eternity is a must-try. This RPG from Obsidian draws heavily from the classic Baldur’s Gate series, making it a natural next step for BG3 fans. With its familiar isometric perspective, you’ll find yourself in well-known territory.

Earlier this year, Obsidian surprised the gaming community with a major update for Pillars of Eternity. This patch comprehensively addressed long-standing issues, refining aspects such as audio, combat, quests, and visuals, enhancing the overall player experience.

Looking back to our 2015 review of Pillars of Eternity, we were impressed enough to award it a perfect 10/10. Fraser Brown described it as a “sprawling, wordy, isometric RPG.” If you’re curious and want a deeper dive before purchasing, the review is definitely worth a read.

Currently, Pillars of Eternity is a steal on Steam, discounted by 75%, bringing the price down to just $7.49 / £5.74. This offer is valid until Monday, November 18. In addition to this, many other titles from Obsidian Entertainment are also on sale. You can snag them right here on Steam.
