Obsidian Entertainment is bringing some chilling content to Pillars of Eternity with The White March Part 2. Like a soap opera junkie needing their fix The White March Part 2 is bringing you some closure after a few loose ends. No one likes unresolved videogame cliffhangers so it’s nice to see Obsidian is going with a 1, 2 punch combo here instead of dragging stories on and on across multiple DLC’s. The White March Part 2 brings with it the requisite raised level cap and new quests but also adds in new abilities and a new barbarian named Meneha. Be sure to check out the trailer above and back some snow gear, it’s going to be a cold ride.
