Extended Edition?

[Morality Games]

Witcher style baby.

I guess the real question here is what critics of Pillars of Eternity think what an Extended Edition needs to have to make the game good.

They're not going to do an Extended Edition, they're going to do a double DLC Expansion.

An expansion is inevitable. I do not think Obsidian actually realizes that parts of their game are heavily flawed. The chorus over at SA combined with the high review scores means they're probably just patting themselves on the back.

With that said, you'd need a complete redesign of most of the encounters in the game. There are a handful of halfway decent encounters (final boss, Arda Dragon, boss of Skaen temple, Raedric) but most are complete and utter garbage.

The game shouldn't be about collecting gold to buy items from shopkeepers, so you'd have to disperse a good portion of the magical items throughout your revamped encounters. Some additional itemization that actually changed the way you played or did something interesting would be nice too.

That's about it. I have no doubt in my mind though that Obsidian will just layer on the shit. You'll have more content, but it'll be the same boring slugfest as before.
