The 1st Pillars is a good game but after playing the 2nd, there’s no going back for me. Tyranny was a story-telling twist that Obsidian hoped would take the Pillars foundation to the next level. The problem is, it’s the mechanics that needed fixing not the story and Pillars 2 showed exactly that. In my book, it’s currently trading blows with Kingmaker for the title of BG2 spiritual successor.
