The spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate is here.

<span class="bold">Pillars of Eternity</span>, in which adventure continues beyond The Gate, is available now for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, DRM-free on GOG.com!

It's you, and your band of companions, against the world. A brand new fantasy world! A realm of long lost treasures and ancient mysteries buried beneath the depths of monster-infested dungeons. <span class="bold">Pillars of Eternity</span> sets out to redefine all that we know about character building, questing, and grinding. The thrill of the uncharted, the wonder of a sprawling, classic RPG epic is finally back!

Pillars of Eternity comes in three editions. The Hero Edition includes the base game, but more loot awaits the collectors out there!
The Champion Edition comes packed with special bonus content, including a full digital soundtrack, a high-res map, a campaign almanac, and more!
Royal Edition packs in even more bonus content. In addition to the Champion Edition goodies, four additional pieces of content exclusive to the Royal Edition can be yours now: a digital novella by Chris Avellone, collector's book PDF, high-resolution concept art, and a digital strategy guide.

If you bought the Hero Edition or Champion Edition, and you like the goodies included in the larger editions, all hope is not lost. We're currently working on making edition upgrades available for Pillars of Eternity . Stay tuned for future updates!

Gather your party and venture forth. <span class="bold">Pillars of Eternity</span> is finally out now, DRM-free on GOG.com!





Check it out on Twitch.tv/GOGcom!
The one and only TotalBiscuit will be taking Pillars of Eternity today, March 26th at 9pm GMT / 5pm EDT / 2pm PDT!
Afterwards, our regular and beloved Outstar will have her turn - come join her at 11pm GMT / 7pm EDT / 4pm PDT.

well... but it should be quite easy to find who is this guy .. torrent was uploaded 17:23 CET by some Sarah116 - which is insanely fast as we have download problems - and must own royal edition...

AndyBuzz: As I'm waiting for the download I'm both eager and apprehensive to the experience that awaits. Even the in latest videos I've seen the combat is always an unexciting mess, but almost everything else seems glorious.

Speaking of mess, is it really necessary to create 3 different folders for all the extras & DLC? That's a silly sloppy way to organise things.
Really hoping Galaxy will offer a better method of keeping our collection up to date. The downloader is starting to become annoying.
It feels like they are slowily pushing us toward using Galaxy... On purpose... For me the "ungrouping" in my library is just annoying.

Why, is uplay stuff not on torrent?
Posted March 26, 2015
Dishonest people like that are why we won't ever get a major over charging release here. People don't feel it's worth $60 or $70, then they won't pay for it, and big game companies may have to actually work to put out quality games if that was the case.

I don't know what is and what's not currently on Torrent, but I imagine if the GOG release shows up BEFORE the DRM-ed release, then yes, that looks bad on DRM-free and is effectively supporting the paranoia of publisher corporations.

Sadly I have to agree... I wouldn't go as far to suggest they are sloppy on purpose, but they certainly don't try their best.
Who knows though. Maybe Galaxy will be that good we won't want not to use it. :P

SirPrimalform: Over $100 for the 'complete' edition? Just won't bother.
Kind of expensive yes, but I don't think all those extras outside the game "complete it".

To my eyes, if all the in-game content and basic manual is there, it's complete. The rest is fluff (and honestly, beyond the soundtrack, I don't tend to be that interested).

Different perspective I guess.

Also, I think they did the right thing by making the extras upgradable content instead of pre-release only.

Yep, it's sad that some peoples' idea of being "charitable" is ripping off other people's content and putting it up for free online without their permission.

If they were actually charitable, they'd come up with their own original content to put up for free online.

Even if it had been DRM
the protection or whatever they used woud have been broken pretty fast.
Heck, even steam games are pirated, but not as much as others though.

Lodium:
Yes, but if GOG shows up first on the Torrents for a major release, publishers use that as an excuse to say that the DRM protected X amount of imaginary sales from piracy.

I get that it happens regardless, but timing is kind of important.

I want to join on the hype and fun but the pricing and especially GOG's endorsement of this greed turned me off. I can't support this game, or GOG's endorsement of this greedy pricing model where each little extra is $$$. I didn't come to GOG for this.

Well, since you're still working with TotalBiscuit, I'd like to ask how I would go about deactivating my account?
