This is set in the Pillars of Eternity universe?

What? I didn't even realise that. A reviewer mentioned this at the start.

What in the actual ♥♥♥♥? This is not POE. It has nothing to do with it. It looks like Saturday morning cartoons. The tone of the game is completely wrong. The story has nothing to do with POE. The gameplay. What is this mess?

Did the people who made this even play Pillars of Eternity?

Best art style ever! No one wants bland realistic color palette in a game

The game director was literally the Lead Writer on PoE2.

That kind of explains it. POE 2 was a mess, especially on launch. It was also a complete tonal shift for the game. From a bleak European setting to a jolly pirate adventure in the Caribbean.

Pillars is dead now. At least we had 2 great games though 👍

She was also a main, though not lead, writer on the original PoE.

That is how it should be, bleak and boring realism is overdone, Avowed is how modern games should be

If you gave them a chance and play them for yourself you might change your mind

You never played POE then, which is fine but making but making claims to the contrary without firsthand experience seems odd. Usually if I'm unfamiliar with something, I ask and if my questions are not answered, I do a bit of research.
But it's steam after all. Ignorance in high volumes is to be expected and endured. I wish you best of luck in your life and that your environment treats you kindly despite your interesting demeanor.
