You can also pick dialogue options that say you love and cherish all your companions platonically or romantically, show compassion to your greatest foes, and admit to loving Deionarra even though you are a completely different person to the one she loved. All-Loving Hero: You have the option to play as a helpful, generous, polite Nameless One who gives aid to every needy person that he meets without asking for anything in return.At one point it was going to be possible to be a priest as well, but this was eventually written out, noting that while previous Nameless Ones might have been priests, their successors burnt all their bridges with the gods a long time ago. The Ace: You can be a better mage than Ignus, a better thief than Annah, and a better fighter than Vhailor, possibly even all of them in one game, though only one of the three at once.As he interacts with the game world, his memories, his powers, and the tangled web he has left in his wake become slowly apparent. While effectively immortal and capable of regeneration from even the most grievous of wounds, his memory is fragile, and has up until now been erased with each death he suffers. Turning off 'Critical Hit Screen Shake' in the baldur.The protagonist of the story, the Nameless One is the player character and central figure, who has lived for an incredibly long time (how long is never really discovered, though it is at least several thousand years).

It's a wonderful experience and I definitely see myself exploring the genre further - heck, I just picked up Pillars of Eternity for dirt-cheap on GOG. I really pay attention to what people say and where they tell me to go, and maybe I wouldn't to the same degree if, oh hey, let's just follow the waypoint. So the game not only encourages you to do side stuff, in its own subtle way it requires you to - but with such a light touch that you don't feel like it's obligatory (and of course it's not TRULY necessary if you know exactly where to go).Īnd if you're a veteran of these Infinity Engine games, you're probably like, 'No shit, noob,' but to this noob the lack of waypoints and glowy markers is interesting because I always thought that folks bemoaned their non-inclusion because they were hardcore gamers who didn't need to be led around by the hand, and while, yes, that's part of it - for me the biggest benefit of this more classic design is that I am far more immersed in the world.

And that detective work involves talking to everyone and doing favors for them. One thing I love about the design is you have to do a little bit of detective work to figure out where the main quests are.

I've played about 9 hours and I'm still just wandering around talking to random people and doing side quests.
