Pillars of Eternity - Quick Look @ Rampant Coyote

The Rampant Coyote posted his opinion of Pillars of Eternity on his website blog.

I tried to keep my hopes down. After all, it funded for “only” $4 million. That’s not a big budget by today’s standards … or Obsidian’s. Sure, they were able to reduce their budget requirements by adhering to less-than-AAA technology or requirements. And the engine was built on Unity, which made tech development a little bit cheaper. But these days, technology is not the main cost of game development.

A new world, new game system, and an incredible legacy to live up to on a limited budget? Yeah, there’s no sense in setting my expectations too high. I wasn’t even planning on playing it the first day. But I guess I can download 7 gigs worth of data in less time than I thought, and so a few hours after I got home from work, the game was ready to play. With a little fear of disappointment, I started it up.

And lost myself.
