Pillars of Eternity II Deadfire plays it safe just like its predecessor, and it has
a worse main storyline, but it compensates with a greater and richer world to explore, better friendly AI, a refined combat system and much better side quests.
Even
worse is the sudden drop - off in the
main storyline — which has Don exploring the dirty rumors behind the Cody plant one minute, and then completely MIA the next — as well as the random cameos by big name talents like Ethan Hawke, Bruce Willis and Kris Kristofferson, whose presences feel far too gimmicky to be taken seriously.
