The second expansion to the very successful Pillars of Eternity has been released. Not only does the expansion conclude the story but a large patch has come out alongside it, bringing new free content for all owners of the base game.
Pillars of Eternity was one of my favorite games of last year. It came out following a massively successful crowdfunding campaign and it was pretty much all that I expected save a few things here and there. It’s a beautiful game with a compelling world and I couldn’t wait to see what else the developers did with the game. The promise of more areas to explore along with new companion and story should be enough to entice any owners of the base game to come back and check out the expansion.
A rather big patch was released alongside the expansion, adding more content for the base game as well as new features for different kinds of players. If you like the story and aren’t too happy about combat, there’s a mode for you that takes the emphasis away from needing to build a good party of fighters. There’s scores more changes including the usual balance and polish expected from an important patch.
Though this second expansion is the last of the announced projects for the Pillars world, the CEO of Obsidian seems keen to keep on working on the franchise, stating, “[...] we’ve got plenty more stories we plan to tell within the world of Pillars of Eternity.”
I hope they do. Even if these days I’ve got way too many games competing for my attention.
You can grab Pillars of Eternity: The White March - Part II DRM-free through GOG, on Steam or most other digital retailers. If you buy through this Games Republic store a part of the proceeds will go to helpling out GOL. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: Grimfist(Or I finish Dragonage and wait for a Linux port of Witcher 3)
Wait for Witcher 3. I know it's hard, but I'm almost 100% sure it will come, potentially with Vulkan. Just be patient.

Quoting: EikeAnother way to look at it is that currently, 1/3 of the Steam catalog is available for Linux with more being added every day. Three-years ago, there were zero! Linux gaming has grown by leaps and bounds in a short amount of time.Quoting: Mountain ManAnd I had some guy on the Steam forums yesterday trying to convince me that Linux gaming was never going to happen. Guess he hadn't kept up with current events.I had one yesterday claiming that it might happen some day. I'm answering those that to me, Linux gaming gives me more to play than I have time for it - it's just a smaller stack of shame.

It's also a matter of perspective: If you come from 100%, 30% may seem little, if you come from about 0%, it's much.
In absolute numbers (of "fun hours" ), it's more than I need.

Oh and the name doesn't mean anything but coincidentally could be pronounced as "Buttery" which suits me just fine.
