Pillars of Eternity‘s much-anticipated turn-based mode debuts in PC open beta form on November 5th, with Obsidian seeking more input on their very nice tenth anniversary gift before rolling out a final version. That’s not to say the devs haven’t already been working to ensure “very reasonable criticisms” of Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire‘s own turn-based mode, though, as outlined by director Josh Sawyer in the beta’s announcement video.
It’s exciting to see Pillars of Eternity introducing a turn-based mode! The open beta sounds like a great opportunity for players to experience new gameplay mechanics. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves based on feedback!
great opportunity for players to experience a new gameplay style. It’ll be interesting to see how the turn-based mechanics influence strategy compared to the real-time combat. Plus, incorporating lessons from Deadfire should enhance the overall experience even more!
