Pillars of Eternity - Preview @ PC Gamer

PC Gamer's Andy Kelly has new preview of the beta version of Pillars of Eternity that he calls a beautiful, detailed ode to the Infinity Engine era. I humbly agree with him.

I know this is a faithful homage to the Infinity Engine RPGs of yore, because I’ve been on the character creation screen for almost an hour. It’s an overwhelming sea of options—exactly as it should be—and I can’t decide what kind of person I want to be. In the end I settle for an aumaua, a race of tall semi-aquatic beings with blue-green skin and tribal markings on their faces. Their size gives them a +2 might bonus, which makes them powerful fighters.
