No complaints about the game itself, but I did have one persistent issue: when I shut down the game and went back in later, my timer was way, way down. For instance, I might be right at the beginning of a new mission with more than 50 minutes left to complete it; I'd close the game, and the next time I went in there'd be 11 minutes left on the clock. More than once I had to restart missions because of this glitch, so that was super-annoying. Also, in one of the "replace the missing objects" puzzles, the object was below the frame so it was impossible to see where it went — I ended up getting it by pure accident, dropping it in random places out of frustration. So I'd give it 4 stars for general enjoyment of the game, but drop one for the glitches.
It's not a bad DLC for what it is, but it's mostly useless outside of colonizing and the New World. The nation designer is cool but not really a must-have feature, I personally never use it as I always play on ironman.
I'd say you should only get this if you want to play as natives or are really into colonizing. Get it when it's on sale as every other paradox DLC.
This is one of the better/useful EU4 DLCs (together with Rights of Man and Art of War). The best thing in the DLC is probably the age mechanic, which is really neat and adds a lot of new goals and bonuses during a playthrough, for all nations.
A lot of additional flavour is added to asian countries since all of them get affected by the changes to China and to a lesser extent Japan and Manchu.
This game is for either Borderlands fans or Telltale fans (or a combination).
For Borderlands fans it expands the game universe with additional history and "side-stories" to the main games, it also has the same sort of humor and style.
For Telltale fans it brings the top notch storytelling as those in The Walking Dead or The Wolf Among Us, with the same kind of gameplay.
Coming from the age of Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale, Pillars of Eternity reminds me why I like the genre so much. Yes there is lots of reading, and I would agree that skill management could be handled better, but taken as a whole experience I had a blast with this game and can't wait to see where it goes in the sequel.
This game plays just like the board game with the added bonus of graphics and sounds. There is also the ability to fire salvoes to speed up the game play. Lots of fun.
