Pillars of Eternity duology more like fantastic series deserving of all the love in the world.
Really excited for this, never got to play more than a few minutes of a friend's copy of PoE2.

Now that they have made it turn-based, this should be more favourable outcome with folks with controllers. I will have to check it out in the future.
Nice timing.
I'm sitting at the end of the Throne of Bhaal after having played nothing but Baldur's Gate for the past 2 months, so a January release date gives me time to wrap that up and delve into Planescape (perhaps Icewind Dale too).

I'm really curious to see how this does on consoles. I'd be really bummed if 2 doing so poorly means we don't see any more Pillars for a long time. The universe and lore is fascinating. Hopefully it gets some good word of mouth and sales on console since it won't be hampered by the issues that it released with on PC (hopefully).
The turn-based mode is pretty good from what i've heard for those who dislike RTwP.

Very nice! Seems to be console only, if you want it on PC I assume you just suck it up and shell out for the DLC individually?
I sure hope so! Although I also hope that is GamePass PC, while turn based mode probably controls ok on console, I feel like the text for NPC's and items in the game are going to be pretty small on TV.... but maybe they will surprise me ;)

According to the Versus Evil post, it should have been up for preorder. It's nowhere to be seen. At least on the PS Store

Nope. It certainly helps to enrich the experience a great deal, but it is by no means a requirement. It's a whole new setting, conflict and largely new cast.
Hate to say it but RTwP will never not feel clunky with a controller. It is a system most at ease with KB & M and/or touch screen. Turn based is far more conducive to the console w/ controller environment.
Please buy this if you're interested in CRPGs.
I don't think the setting (a mixture of polynesian and colonial) has been featured enough in games, nor some of its themes (like colonialism, self-determination and such). Even if the main quest is underwhelming, some of its sidequests (which are, tbh, the actual meat of the game) more than make up for it.
I haven't reached the DLC areas yet though.
