    I really liked the storytelling : it is original and fun.

    You get to know some of the special personalities in The Circle of Archmagi. They are pretty cool! (albeit each a bit crazy in their own way) TIP : bring Fassina* and Aloth, as they both have dialogue lines for that story. __ And remember ... Imps are not pets : they are savage little creatures from hell. And never,    I really liked the storytelling : it is original and fun.

    DLC is ok but the endboss, the Oracle, and other fights are crazy hard. I had to switch the difficulty to easy.

    It took me only fifteen hours to get into the third act of the game’s main quest, less than the some 20-25 hours to play through all the DLC. While these new quests fail because they’re so battle-heavy, the stories in Beasts and The Forgotten Sanctum are still complex and engrossing.

    All in all, The Forgotten Sanctum is a strong way for Deadfire, and possibility Pillars of Eternity in general, to end-- at least for the moment. It lacks a certain level of gravitas that perhaps would usually be expected out of a proper conclusion, but its strengths lie in the same places that Deadfires' always have - motivated character writing, a solid sense of cohesion between gameplay mechanics and narrative, and the events within hold proper sense of significance as part of the world put forth. Fans of Deadfire who have been let down by lackluster additions so far should definitely not let that steer them away from this final entry.

    Amongst Deadfire's three DLCs, The Forgotten Sanctum is probably the best, as it understands the strengths of the core game much better, with a greater balance between battles, storytelling, and role-playing.
