It is sometimes said that the quality of a game primarily impacts the sale of its successor. Doesn't speak well for public enjoyment of pillars.Man, I just hope for Obsidian sake this game had been really, really, really cheap to make because Tyranny has 122.939 owners based on Steam Spy.

Without the masterful percussion and vocals, then yeah it is just like that. Also:
It takes 03:34 minutes for the song to earn and reach its apex.
This is just aggressive without earning it.
For those interested in AoD or a Underrail review I am waiting for them to be feature complete since why not at this point.
Overall fantastic review! But I do have a criticism to make...
When Tyranny dropped I was working really weird hours and had tons of free time while the rest of the world was at work and I ended up playing it through 3 times to check out how the game reacted based on different decisions. Your review fails to explain how much the game world reacts to taking different paths or supporting different factions. For instance, there are certain dungeons and various magical items (artifacts, the more interesting type) that are only accessible by taking a certain route through the game. There are also maps that are vastly different, even in appearance; my first 2 games showed one of the towns in utter ruin, think post a bigass earthquake, all chasms and crumbled buildings. In the third run, likely as a result of my choices during the choose your own adventure introduction, the town was still in pristine shape. Details like that added a lot to my enjoyment of this flawed (in such an Obsidian way) game.

PCG: What do you think have been the most important role-playing games of the past few years? Which games have inspired you?
FU: It’s probably been more than a few years, but I was always impressed with the Mass Effects. You have to play a more specific role, but they really fulfill the feeling of being James T. Kirk in many ways. More recently, the Witcher 3 did an incredible job of creating a very living world, and it’s cool to play an RPG with a bit more of an action slant. When it comes to Fallout 4, no one does it better than Bethesda in creating a visually dense environment helping to really put you in the post nuclear world of Fallout. I’d also like to point out Spider, another RPG developer, who is still learning the craft, but has made some interesting games with Mars: War Logs and Technomancer. I’m interested to see where they go in the next few years.
While I agree about Obsidian begin a fanboi dream than a reality I have always though Fergus is a doddering idiot with zero managing skills and I attribute the fact the company is still functioning more as a testament to his ball craddling skills than the products they are releasing... bit still I like Tyranny and think it is a much better product than Pillars, with none of that rose colored nostalgia going for it it manages to deliver a better game overall and yeah I think Ludo sells it short and doesnt take into account one (if not its biggest) strengths because of the reactivity and replaybility of the game because of the whole "campaign" scenario before you actually play.... it is one of its main selling points in my opinion and again ignoring ot or just glacing it over means you either didnt actually replay the damn thing to check it out or your thought it was worth more your 25,000 word limit to talk about kills-in-shadow's tits
