Pillars Of Eternity 3 Would Be Baldur's Gate 3-Style 3D, If It Ever Happens

Wait 5 sec.

Obsidian Entertainment released Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire just over seven years ago, but there hasn't been any firm news about a sequel in that time. If Pillars of Eternity 3 ever happens, director Josh Sawyer says it will likely take some influence from Baldur's Gate 3.Sawyer--who directed both of the Pillars of Eternity games--recently suggested that that the franchise's isometric perspective needs to shift to the 3D style in Baldur's Gate 3 in order to enhance the overall presentation of the game."I think if we did go into a 3D environment, we could patch up one of the things that's really lacking," Sawyer told Gamepressure (via PC Gamer). "Because [Pillars of Eternity 2] is isometric, there's no sense of height, and the environment can't be that dynamic. When you compare it to something like [Baldur's Gate 3], you realize it's such a huge part of the appeal. I think, at some point, I would like to see a game that used all those Deadfire mechanics, plus more environmental mechanics, elevation hazards, and dynamic terrain stuff. That could be super cool... I think that a third game should be an isometric 3D with an environment more like Baldur’s Gate 3. It would work."Continue Reading at GameSpot
