What was ass about it???:mjgrin:
its just a dreary fukking place. some games can pull off an endlessly depressing worldscape and still make it engaging but pillars? everywhere you turn its "i tried to make a device to enrich our lives but god smited me and the entire village" "we're doing well recovering from the plague of stillborn soulless children all things considered" "we built a nice settlement here then a god stomped us out and snake people invaded shortly after" "there's a nice merchant union taking off that's only slightly racist" etc

im not sure what it is. you can do grim environments, sure. but the fact that its ALL bad and shortcuts to worse just makes you not even care when you come across new shyt

that's the first area. look at all that sun :banderas:

i'll never get over how the biggest location in pillars 2 was basically the worst possible rendition of india; soul crushing poverty, squalor, and disease - and below THAT is the city-sized pit of zombies that people are thrown into as punishment :dead:

:mjlol:
I know exactly what you’re talking about. For some reason I loved it. As soon as I heard a sob story I’d be in a rush to find another one lol. I still have to finish the second one and divinity 2.
