Let's Play Pillars of Eternity [63] - Trials of Durance

Some more from my Pillars of Eternity playthrough. Pillars of Eternity, of course, being the story based crpg from Obsidian entertainment, featuring unfortunate real time with pause gameplay. I can understand wanted to emulate the Infinity Engine games in many regards. The stories they told, the worlds full of lore and interesting NPC companions, and even the dungeons and combat encounters that led to enjoyable gameplay. But I must say that the real time with pause combat was not my favouritepart of those games, just as I think it is a weakness in Pillars of Eternity.

The narrative and writing in Pillars of Eternity is pretty great, though, as expected from Obsidian. In this episode of the playthrough we do some sidequest, sure, but we also talk to our good companion Durance about the chat we had with Magran, Abydon, and Galawain last episode. Durance is at first unwilling to accept that Magran wouldwish him harm, but he soon comes around. I don't know how we'll reconcile Durance's newfound impiety with our own pact with the gods to be forever loyal. Either way, I think it will lead to an interesting effect on the storyline.

We also get a few side quests this episode, but for some reason every quest requires super high reputation with Twin Elms to resolve peacefully. I guess the Glanfathans don't trust us outsiders!
