Neverwinter Nights 2 vs Pillars of Eternity
Neverwinter Nights 2
Neverwinter Nights 2 is the brilliant sequel to the first Neverwinter Nights. This time around, you'll be playing as a farmer-turned-hero who set off on a quest to defeat the King of Shadows. Although the original campaign may be a tad bit cliche, the game truly shines once you get into the first expansion where you'll gain a unique spirit-eating mechanic that will affect your gameplay and change the path of your narrative. Not to mention, like the first game, Neverwinter Nights 2 has been endowed with loads of player-made mods and hence, adventures that you can explore at your leisure, adding to what is already a worthwhile purchase. The game even has an improved toolset which allow players to host their own solo or multiplayer adventures that they can also share to other players.However, being a pretty old game, there will definitely be bugs and glitches that you will have to content with along the way, but overall, Neverwinter Nights 2 can guarantee hundreds and maybe thousands of hours of gameplay (with mods), making it worth every cent you spent on it.
Pillars of Eternity
Pillars of Eternity is a fun adventure/dungeon crawler-like game that sets you on a journey across a rich fantasy realm with your group of companions as you search for monster-filled dungeons to raid and get treasures from. Experience a gameplay that's similar to many of the classic RPGs you've known and loved. You'll even get to play as one of eleven classes ranging from the Cipher to the Rogue; and as one of six races including unique ones like Aumaua, Godlike and Orlan.The best part in this game is definitely the part where every action you make will have consequences and every faction you ally yourself to will affect the path of your overall narrative. This offers up plenty of possibilities for players to enjoy the game again and again.
Despite being an indie game, Pillars of Eternity has enjoyed success after success since its successful funding at Kickstarter and honestly, we think it deserves all the good things that are going its way. The game is simply a brilliant masterpiece that pays homage to classic RPGs and well, the dev team is amazing as well.
