Pillars of Eternity 2 – First DLC "Beast of Winter" with Snow and Ice

With the old school role play Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire already released in May, most of them have probably played . Fortunately, the supplies are already on the way: August 2 (via PCGamesN) will release the first DLC "Beast of Winter", in the style of Game of Thrones against the eternal winter . In the addon, we head to the southern part of the Dead Flames archipelago, where a monstrous opponent from the insular Caribbean world wants to bring a wintery end – perhaps just the right to cool off in the high summer temperatures. This time, the focus is not on the god of Eotha, but on Rymrgand as Lord of Chaos and Disasters (also known as the Beast of Winter, depicted like a giant auroch). He is, so to speak, the other half of Berath as a god of death, while she is more concerned with the immaterial than souls, it really represents the process of disintegration.

Rymrgand brings an icy death to the land, covering the ice islands and even allowing polar bears to roam the islands. To celebrate this, we are invited by his priests to a feast, for them we are to a certain extent responsible and have inaugurated as Duskspeaker, as the so-called ambassador of the end, the fall.

There is no shortage of humor

Of course, we can not let that sit and run after a god once again. On our way, which is to lead us to hell (or rather to a distant dimension called "The Beyond" full of age-old challenges and souls), a Rymrgand priest named Vatnir joins us as a our new companion. The purpose of our mission is to stop the eternal winter that must extend to Eora. This time, a lot of black humor should be in the foreground, as PCGamesN continues in a developer interview on the DLC. Thus, Rymrgand priests venerate us for the great (and sometimes destructive) influence we have as players on the RPG world.

While the main game already contained one or the other dry comment, the expansion should feel even more humorous, despite the dark theme of death and decadence. The developers decided to take this step in order not to make the DLC a depressing experience for the player.

Free Challenge Mode and more

In addition to the paid extension, it will also be the "Deck of Many Things" pack and a new commercial vessel with interesting products for all players to give. Patch 2.0 also provides bug fixes, enhancements, and a new challenge mode. This is a great way to make the gaming experience more like that of the experience Dungeons & Dragons and make it more difficult. For example, it may be that characters who faint die after a period of time in combat. The developers compare the new mode to the hardcore fashion in Fallout: New Vegas

"Beast of Winter" is the first of a total of three DLCs announced for Pillars of Eternity 2. "Seeker, Slayer, Survivor" expected in September and The Sanctuary forgotten in November 2018. The extensions cost about 10 euros each, while the Season Pass costs 25 euros
