I'm not into DnD at all. What caught my attention was the promise of making another game like Planescape: Torment, which is my all-time favorite game. This game is superb despite being DnD. What lifts it up above all other games is the story, the dialog, the characters, the entire writing. It's just extra super duper.
If Pillars of Eternity is only 10% as good, it'll be a great game. I also hope they learned that their fight mechanics from PS:T didn't work at all, and that they'll think of something better. Shouldn't be too hard.

Being good means getting better.
