A very worthy sequel to Pillars of Eternity, and to the cRPG genre. Good character stories, a well developed world, multiple independent but interconnected major questlines, multiclassing. Every system from PoE has been iterated, and I only have some relatively minor gripes. Better modding scene than PoE too. Not entirely finished yet, but it does seem a bit shorter than PoE, although still very good per-hour value.

Edit: Finished all of the DLCs and really enjoyed them.

Beast of Winter DLC: Nice content expansion into the God of Entropy's realm, and particularly nice for the lore that we get to dive into the Saint's War and meet Waidwen.

Seeker, Slayer, Survivor DLC: It's an Arena DLC, so YMMV. However, it's the best Arena chunk of gameplay I can remember playing. Tons of different battles, replayable if you just enjoy the battles in and of themselves, lots of great loot to be had.

Halls of the Unseen DLC: Huge library, puzzles that did include a fair bit of reading. Damn it I'm an Eoran lore nerd now. It's always fun to be playing with the archmages.I was finally able to kill one of the megabosses, thanks to the level cap mod, with a party of 25th level characters. It's not really worth the loot, but an epic fight.

Overall Season Pass/DLC review: Worth it on sale, and integrates nicely with the base game. I feel like I got more out of the total experience.

Minor gripes:
- Biggest design gripe: a great many small areas (common given the game occurs in an archipelago) means a great many loading times. They aren't very long, but they are collectively too much.

- Framerate drops surprisingly low in large battles. I don't mind too much since in combat I'm in slo-mo anyway, but worth mentioning. I ran into it a lot because I really enjoyed the big crew-to-crew pirate battles.

- The ship mini-game needed further development. I found myself just skipping it after trying it once or twice.

- The Level Cap of 20 is too low for completionist play. I doubt I caught everything, but I do all the quests I find. I reached Level 20 before doing any of the DLC of the Season Pass, which are all content expansions. And I haven't triggered the "point of no return" act of the endgame, but not sure how much occurs after that. There is a mod on NexusMods that raises the Level Cap to 33, and it's working great. Level 21 and counting... [edit: I finished the game at 25th level, well worth the mod].

I came for the ants, but I stayed for the motorcycle physics.
