Pillars of Eternity Videos to get you started
 

So here is a Compliation of videos which might help players of Pillars in various aspects, like explaining story, basic game mechanics or specific classes.
And of course for detailed information (which isn't always up to date) you can also check the wiki (you will find most of the info in the character creation section): http://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.c…acter_creation

Lore of the world:
For those who are interested in the lore of the game, there is an older video. While the narrator Nilsor has an extremely strong accent, it's worth to get over it as the is video very well presented, gives a great overview (and must have been tons of work):

General Mechanics:
There are two guys doing videos about mechanics of the game. The one is Quill18 and the other one is Sensuki. While Quill18 is simply more talented in presenting stuff, Sensuki has more background knowledge.

Sensuki:

Thank you!!!

This will be quite helpful to have these all in one place, thanks!

Thank you very much. The class videos are quite helpful!

Sensuki started to push out his Class Videos now. Added the released ones to the list.

As I am not updating the list hourly, you might want to check https://www.youtube.com/user/Enverxis/videos for new additional class videos.

I wish history lessons back in school had been presented like that. And the narrator's accent is mesmerizing, actually.

Quill18 has a few videos out too on PoE …

And I already had linked them ^^

I would recommend this.
Pillars of Eternity 101 (Beta) : What is the world of Pillars of Eternity
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CU4Q…f1tRCg&index=1

Pillars of Eternity 101 (Beta) : The Classes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2DO…f1tRCg&index=2

Pillars of Eternity 101 (Beta) : Combat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMvK…f1tRCg&index=3

Yeah, I had linked the first one. But due to the age and availability of videos from others to the topic I'd rather recommend these newer videos from Sensuki, Queill18 and Scott.

People don't do text guides any more? :(

I can do with a good text guide on the lore and combat mechanicals before I start the game this weekend :)

Here's a video to get you started (spoiler - it's mine! :lol:)

Check out this wiki. Some good mechanics in here. But the quest section is incomplete and only for the first few areas.

Aaaand I also had linked that one in my initial posting. ^^

Korandor you had only character creation linked. :)

Yeah, but that is because you find almost everything in this wiki in there - in the most sorted way. ^^
