Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire - Seeker, Slayer, Survivor Review (Drain)

Does this dlc deserve 50% positive reviews? Probably not. Is it particularly good? No, not really. It is, however, fairly unoffensive combat encounters, some of which are more clever than others. Your mileage will waver depending on how much you're enjoying the combat at the moment - I think it was a pretty large missed oppurtunity to have this so late in the game and not have it evenly spread out throughout, giving out the relics as you explore without the horrid fetch quests. The rewards aren't too interesting either compared to Beast of Winter with its large amount of trinkets.
It's more than just combat, of course, but not much more. There's a story here, but compared to the other two dlcs, it's kind of a joke. I think the quest on Dunnage where you have to make a sailor excrete a stone he swallowed is more compelling storytelling. There is really nothing here that makes you care about the island or its natives or any weight applied to the final choice. I was being as attentive as possible and whatever Galawain had going on was so complex that it flew over my head or it was just uh bad
5+x/10 with x being your current enjoyment of the combat going in
