"Baldur's Gate established key RPG elements like player choice and dynamic worlds, significantly influencing the genre, yet few successors have effectively carried its legacy forward."
"Pillars of Eternity represents a major achievement in modern RPGs, having crafted a vibrant and complex world that deeply engages players with its rich lore."
Baldur's Gate is hailed as a cornerstone in RPG history, influencing many game mechanics focused on morality and player choice. Its legacy continued a decade later with Pillars of Eternity, developed by Obsidian Entertainment, which emerged successfully from a $4 million Kickstarter campaign. Pillars of Eternity and its sequel, as well as the spinoff Avowed, have realized a compelling, high-fantasy world called Eora, known for its dense lore and complex moral questions, echoing the foundations laid by Baldur's Gate while creating a new vibrant universe for players.
