Pillars 2’s turn based mode was such a great addition that it propelled me through the game a second time after I’d already finished it in RtwP. Pillars 1 didn’t have that option when I played it, but from Pillars 2, I’m quite certain it will be the better way to play the game from now on.
It’s a good game, but at least in RtwP, it could be a real endurance test. Most of my combats that went wrong did so because I had decision fatigue from having to march through so many enemy mobs.
