Anyone else pick up Pillars of Eternity? It's a Baldur's Gate style RPG that was funded through Kickstarter a few years ago, developed by Obsidian. I'm just a couple hours in, but so far I've loved it.
The writing is outstanding (even down to the item descriptions), and the gameplay is a fun and updated take on the old-school Infinity engine CRPGs; it's difficult (I find myself occasionally dying to "minor" enemies), but the combat system is fair and tactical. Funny that it comes out the same week as Bloodborne, because it shares the sense of satisfaction when you improve your gameplay and defeat a difficult enemy.
The reviews so far have been great (mid-90s on Metacritic), so if you ever enjoyed the deep, slower-paced RPGs from a long time ago, you'll almost definitely enjoy this.
