4/5 ★ – JudgeDredd35's review of Pillars of Eternity: The White March Part I.
Playtime: 6-7 Hours
Platform: PC (Epic)
Score: 8/10
A pretty enjoyable first expansion to an already enjoyable game! I'm really enjoying my time with Pillars of Eternity, and in usual Obsidian fashion you have to play the expansions before you complete the main story which is what I'm doing! Best time to start this expansion is the at the end of Act 2/beginning of Act 3.
This expansion has you to travel to the land of White March to reclaim the Durgans Battery for the people of Stalwart. White March features many snowy tundra's which is a nice change of scenery from the base games areas. What I enjoy a lot about this game is how many of the side quests start out simple but turn out to be so much more and a lot of them often present you with meaningful choices to make which I always appreciate in my RPGs! You also get two new companions, both being really cool and different from the ones you get in the base game.
The expansions story is pretty enjoyable to play through and to learn the lore of Stalwart. By the end I already wanted to start the second part, as I can safely say this is one of Obsidians strongest DLCs! And most versions of the game you can buy come with both DLCs bundled with the base game, so it's worth your time and money!
