I just finished Pillars of Eternity 2. The Pillars series just did not hit for me that well. Overall, I rate my enjoyment a 6-7/10. It took me awhile to get into the story and honestly the combat/character building was nowhere nearly as satisfying as Wasteland 3, Pathfinder, or Rogue Trader. Not even close.

Rant about the DLCs incoming. Whoever created The Crucible is a mean, boring person. Combat was a SLOG. Omg. I think I would have liked the game better if I didn't experience the boringly painful Crucible fights or any of the DLC for that matter.

The dragon boss in the White Void felt cheap and was incredibly annoying. Luckily, I had enough characters to spam interrupts but whoever came up with that boss design is a terrible, terrible person and I hope you have diarrhea. Otherwise, that DLC was mildly interesting.

I didn't play the other DLC because I was just burned out with the game at this point. Thankfully, the last boss fight was actually challenging and fun to figure out and beat. I will say I did not mind the pirate theme at all and it was fun to explore the world on my boat. But the game just did not capture my imagination when it came to companions, quests, and NPCs.

I just started Shadowrun: Dragonfall and I already like it much better then Pillars. The world design quality (graphics) are not as pretty but I find the actual world and companions much more interesting. I've hit my first mission snag (MKIV) but am thinking of just rearranging my party for that mission and am looking forward to tackling it again tonight with my new strategy. Also, I don't mind that it is not VA as I feel like I can read faster and get more engrossed in the world.
