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.

So it begins...

Hopefully those pre-order items show up at some point as a buyable option/DLC... otherwise I don't see myself buying this ever, even when on sale, even though it's right up my alley.

If I could never have those two in-game items, I would always feel that I was playing an incomplete game, no matter what. I wouldn't be able to deal with that aggravation.

Hecke: Sorry, I don't buy $90 games. Or, apparently, even $45 games
Oh crap. Do Kickstarter editions get the bonus items?

Cool, wishlisted for now.

Pc gaming has been really amazing in the last few years with the "small" projects, between Divinity Original Sin, Dead State, Wasteland 2, Legend of Grimrock 2, Pillars of Eternity and the upcoming Shadowrun Hong Kong, Torment ToN, The Banner Saga 2 (and many more) there is way too much to play (just not enough time :) ).

Senteria: It refuses to download for me. It stopped at 1.6gb/3.9gb and the 3rd file won't even continue.
I was downloading the Linux installer for "Don't Starve" when the madness began! :-)

Too many users try to connect to the download servers simultaneously. I cannot download even that few MB I'm interested in!

I suggest to wait a few hours.

From Obsidian.
And you missquoted me ;)

I have so many epic fantasy games that I haven't even played yet, this will have to wait. Indeed, by the time I'm ready to play it I should actually have a computer that will run it. :)

Nice! With luck the download issues will be fixed until I get home

Yeah I am trying the gog downloader now and downloading at 300 kb per second instead of the potentially 4000 I can get.

Pause/resume should work. Give it a little kick. I don't recommend the GOGdownloader though, just get the files straight.

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.

Thanks, but will wait, until the price will go below 10 EUR. No hurry for me, since I've got a big backlog of games to play until then :)

Well I did pause/resume multiple times but it would not do anything.

Haha, it's hard to clear stuff on this phone and I try to debulk the majority of the text on a reply, but if I erase too fast it wipes out the whole quote and then you're not replying anymore.
