    The first part of White March was better but it is an excellent DLC as a whole. Next time fewer fights and more companion quests, please. [March 2016]

    Still plenty of fighting, but second part of The White March expansion also offers more interesting story - successfully raising it above the first episode.

    Make no mistake, if you enjoyed what you have played so far of Pillars of Eternity, then it will be worthwhile for you to finish off the saga by playing this expansion pack. It is more of what you loved in your previous experience with this game. With that said, you might be surprised by how much that disappoints you, or how just plain tired you are of it.

    Too much emphasis on battles and too tight a focus on the main story--as interesting as it can be at times, especially if you’re interested in the mythology of Eora--makes the game something of a forced march that removes the wonder of exploring an open world.

    White March Part 2 is excellent, simply put. The story/atmosphere are really on point for this one. The only criticisms that can be leveledWhite March Part 2 is excellent, simply put. The story/atmosphere are really on point for this one. The only criticisms that can be leveled against it are length and linearity, it's a bit short (and by that I mean still longer than a modern AAA shooter's main campaign) and it's a bit less about exploring open maps.

    By the way, what another reviewer pointed out is correct, the user score was sitting pretty at 9.5+ consistently then over night dropped to around where it is now. Very suspicious, no? Play this expansion for yourself, and see if it deserves a red review, let alone 24 of them...    … Full Review »

Obsidian has done some of the best expansion packs and DLC in the past (Mask Of The Betrayer, Old World Blues,etc..), so this doesn't come as a huge surprise. Good writing, nice new areas, nice improvements, etc.. If you liked Pillars of Eternity, go pick up this and the first part of the expansion packs. You won't be disapointed!… Full Review »

    Excellent.
    Comes with a complete revision (balance) of the core game; we can say it is now an "Enhanced Edition".

    Inevitable bugs contained within will certainly be dealt with as it was the case with previous updates/game rules tweakings.

    It has come a long way, and the game is now very, very, very enjoyable.
    This is the good direction for cRPGs to go, and I am thankful for this gem.
    Two thumbs up!    … Full Review »
