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.

How large is the installer for each version of the game? It's not listed in the game card.

mattymuc: So I have my Kickstarter Hero Edition, how can I upgrade it to the Champion Edition?
It's at the bottom of the release post above:

"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! "

So at the moment, nothing to do but wait... I daresay playing the game will help you pass the time. ^_^

The three install files weigh in at 6,3 GB. It's the same for all versions, since the difference between them is in the amount of bonus stuff.

It's been a long wait for a game like this to be released.

This release seems a bit counter to what gog normally offers. Don't you pride yourself on offering lots of extras as standard? Doubling the price of the game just for assorted miscellany is a bit of a wild departure.

GabiMoro: One of my most wanted games for me, but right now it's too expensive. And I still haven't defeated my backlog.

gamesfreak64: same here, 25 euros is the max i can afford and are prepared to pay for 1 game, at almost 42 euros its way too high
i did buy xulima deluxe, first when it came out on steam cause i was curious and wanted to play it asap, and later on I got it at GOG aswell.

Normally i buy games at average price of max 7 euros for one single game.
But the euro is so low, i hope that if the euro ever recovers the prices will lower again, some are gone up by 1 or 2 euros , and thats too much for me.
So i will wait a few months, and hope for a better sale.

at 54 and 83 euros i can buy 20 good games on sales so i just cant get myself to pay soo much hard cash, not in these hard times .
Well It was $25... On Kickstarter. So it was cheap ;p And You have almost 50% off on launch ;)

Just finished the download and apparently the files were corrupted somewhere along the way.

EDIT: Starting the download again. This time I'm using the Firefox extension download them all. Hopefully I will have better luck this time.

That would be the developer and not GOG who dictates the price.

As much as I hate myself for that, I will have to wait for when it get cheaper (like with Wasteland 2 lol, still w8ing).

But I'm realy looking froward for people opinions about this one, and also how buggy Obsidian made it. :P

I'm curious myself as to the state of its bugginess. Obsidian could always (rightfully?) shift blame to their publishers in the past, but this time they have had no publisher looking over their shoulder, commanding release dates and resource assignments. Will things be different this time?
