Ten years later, Pillars of Eternity is getting a turn-based combat mode

Exactly ten years have passed since Pillars of Eternity entered the world, and the developer Obsidian Entertainment is celebrating the occasion with a new patch and the announcement that he will add a spin fight to the acclaimed role -playing game of the old school.

“Venen at the end of this year,” the study wrote in a publication in their forums, “observers can help us try a new feature: spin fight. We are excited to explore this new way of experiencing meetings in pillars of eternity, and their comments will help shape their future.” Obsidian says that more details will be shared on how to participate in the test “in the near future.”

That suggests that it could spend time before the combat mode based on turns of Pillars of Eternity is ready for complete launch, which means that players will only have to settle for the classic in real time with a pause battle until then. But the wait will be worthwhile: the fight in turn worked well enough when Pillars of Eternity 2 was introduced as part of an update after the launch in 2019, so it should also be an additional addition to the original pillars of eternity.

In the most immediate term, Obsidian does not allow today’s 10th anniversary without something tangible for fans. He has also launched a new update of Eternity pillars, officially entitled Patch 1.3.8.0.87535, promising a “wide range of solutions and improvements in images, combat, missions and more” that the study says that it should make the experience “a little softer.” You will find the complete notes of the patch at the end of this story.

“It is a role -played role -playing role -playing in nostalgia, but one that absolutely does not depend on it to make it pleasant today,” said Eurogamer collaborator, Richard Cobbett, about pillars of eternity in his recommended revision ten years ago. “On the other hand, it is a great reminder of why these games worked so well, and a new adventure is worth hours and hours (with hours and hours) that is needed to collect their secrets and their world.”
