I've been replaying Pillars of Eternity II - in fact I have the tavern music stuck in my head right now. Mostly I just need some CRPG gameplay, so I'm not doing anything wildly different with my character this time around. Maybe I should do an evil run...
Knowing how the ending works, I'm still not sure which faction to go with.

The tone is much less dour than the first one, and I think it does a better job introducing the world. It's still a lot to take in, but all of the text has links you can click on that explain anything you don't recognize.

I just started the first one, took me a few tries to really get into it but I'm enjoying it a lot now. I feel like it's a little bit harder to get into all the lore compared to something like dragon age or elder scrolls. But the gameplay is amazing

Yeah, my main complaint with PoE 1 is the way it bludgeons you with lore. The writers are so excited to show off this massive world they've invented, they just aren't very artful about it.
