They are a mixed bag in the character creator – the actual figure looks amazing with super unique head ornamentations, but the character portraits are horribly sparse. The godlike race are like the aasamir and tieflings from D&D, only these are more tied to elementals instead of good/evil (like the gensai from later editions). Nuala is proud and serious, but in combat she becomes enters a terrifying rage-filled frenzy. I couldn’t find a decent male picture but the standard female Aumauan portrait is fantastic.
PILLARS OF ETERNITY PORTRAITS HUMAN WARRIOR SKIN
They look kinda like the Na’vi from Avatar, and I love the exotic combination of blue skin and dreadlocks. I’ve heard there’s no rogue companion in Pillars of Eternity so I could definitely see myself hiring her if I don’t pick her.Īumaua are the large, orc/viking/nordic folk that are all about the sea. She’s a sassy, hedonistic pirate and obviously based on the character from Dragon Age II.
Here’s Isabella, a Savannah Human Rogue hailing from the Deadfire Archipelago. I still haven’t narrowed down whom I’ll be playing first, but thankfully Obsidian included the ability to hire your own party members (in addition to the story-based companions) so more than likely I’ll see them all at some point in a single playthrough. Chanters are like song-twisting bards from Everquest (my favorite bard implementation ever), Ciphers manipulate souls in an intriguing psychic warrior way and Druids can shapeshift into monstrous were-beasts and still cast spells. I’m familiar with standard Dungeons and Dragons classes and archetypes, but Pillars of Eternity offers some new twists and concepts. I’ve purposefully kept myself mostly in the dark about the game, so I’ve also been looking up some basic information about class structure. I fell into the trap of finding an excellent file containing more excellent fantasy portraits, so now my options number in the hundreds! It’s so much fun making characters! Six races with 2-4 subraces each, 11 classes, half a dozen cultural backgrounds and dozens of portraits. Steam says I’ve already logged about three hours in the game, and I’m somewhat embarrassed to admit that I’ve barely made it out of the character creator. I was a Kickstarter backer from back in 2012 and have very much been looking forward to this spiritual successor to the wonderful isometric ‘Infinity Engine’ games of the late 90s and early 2000s (Read my Final Thoughts on Baldur’s Gate II). Heodan – A male rogue, who might join you during the final scene from the beginning of the game.Pillars of Eternity released yesterday after two and a half years of development.Calisca – A female fighter, who joins you automatically at the beginning of the game.Some characters don't join your party permanently, but are available during one quest or a few quests. Galvino's Workshop – Basement of Galvino's Cabin, Durgan's Battery Ondra's Gift, Defiance Bay - In front of the Vailian Trading Company Magran's Fork – Shrine of Magran, the statue at the crossroadsĭyrford Village – Southeast, below Hendyna's Apothecary
