Pillars of Eternity has a strong story, challenging combat and interesting NPCs, as well as an interesting original setting. Any fan of the old CRPGs like Baldur's Gate will love this game, which keeps the best part of those while still feeling like a modern game. The only criticism I would make is that it has strangely long load times (at least for me), but you should also avoid this game if you dislike walls of text, which it often uses where other games would have cut-scenes.
