Development on the second part of the Pillars of Eternity: The White March expansion pack has hummed along quietly since the release of the first part back in August.

Oddly, despite the fact that they have a host of interesting new features lined up, the press release chooses to emphasize the addition of a Beamdog-style "Story Mode" difficulty level instead.
