RPG players are conditioned to think they’re ‘built different’, says Josh Sawyer, so some of them hate it when games like Pillars of Eternity tell them they can’t do something

Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire is ranked #40 on the PC Gamer Top 100 and is favored by RPG enthusiasts, though it has received criticism for its unsatisfactory conclusion. The game's narrative revolves around the resurrection of the god Eothas and the protagonist's mission to stop him, which ultimately proves futile. Director Josh Sawyer explained that players cannot stop Eothas, as he exists on a plane beyond their capabilities, challenging the conventional RPG expectation that players can overcome any obstacle. While players can influence the game world and make impactful choices, the gods, including Eothas, remain indifferent to mortal concerns. This theme highlights the limitations of power and the complexities of human challenges, which may have contributed to mixed reactions regarding the game's ending.
