"Pillars of Eternity: The White March - Part 1" is the first expansion for the critically acclaimed role-playing game "Pillars of Eternity," developed by Obsidian Entertainment. Set in the rich, immersive world of Eora, the expansion introduces players to a new region, the White March, characterized by its cold and perilous environments. The narrative unfolds as the player’s character, who is on a quest to uncover the mysteries of their past, encounters new companions, formidable enemies, and engaging quests that further explore the themes of legacy and memory.
The gameplay mechanics in this expansion build upon the solid foundation of the original title, incorporating new abilities for each character class, a raised level cap, and an array of powerful equipment to find and craft. The addition of two new companions, each with their own unique backstories and abilities, enriches party dynamics and offers fresh tactical options during combat. Additionally, "The White March - Part 1" features an enhanced AI system, enabling more strategic planning in battles while providing players with the tools to manipulate the environment to their advantage. The expansion maintains the original’s isometric perspective and deep narrative choices, allowing players to shape the story through their decisions and character interactions, making it a worthy addition to the base game.
