Obsidian have finally published a new Pillars of Eternity II Fig update, over two months after the last one and just eight days before the game is due for release. It's not the audio update that they originally promised! It turns out that's been postponed because Justin Bell's wife had a baby. Instead Obsidian have fallen back on their reliably standby, the feature compilation video update. This time, they asked various members of the team to cite their favorite new features, although it's only Mikey Dowling who actually presents them. Some of the features worth mentioning are throwable firecrackers that can distract guards, the ever popular reverse pickpocketing, the option to rename ships and even various small islands you discover, and Modwyr the sultry talking sword. Watch the video here:


The update itself recounts all of the Pillars II news of the past two months, but since you read the Codex you already know about all that. Note that Obsidian are still promising to release that audio update "soon", so this last week might be a busy one.
