History YMMV / PillarsOfEternity

* BrokenBase: Obsidian requiring revisions to a [[OfficialFanSubmittedContent backer-submitted]] poem about a man who was DrivenToSuicide after discovering that the woman he slept with was a transwoman. Some applaud the developers for being sensitive towards transgender fans, others see this as an example of PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad. %% As this is a sensitive topic, please observe the Rule of Cautious Editing Judgement when elaborating.
** Requesting revisions deserves elaboration. They asked the backer if he had another idea, and he changed it to a poem about a bard who made a jest that went bad, and ended up unjustly killed.

* NightmareFuel: Wichts. With the spreading of [[TheSoulless Waidwen's]] [[MysticalPlague Legacy]], more and more children are being born [[EmptyShell Hollowborn]]. In an effort to cure it, a method was developed to transplant an animal's soul in the infant. And it seemed to work for the most part, with many of the children managing to supplant to animal soul with their own consciousness. However, as they reach adolescence, they become feral killing machines. Many families hid their children away, forced to watch them devolve into mindless killers. That is if the Wichts didn't just murder their own families to escape. Even scarier is that they count as "vessels" - they essentially count as ''undead'' for the purposes of things like Priest abilities.
** When you're told you should head to a town called Gilded Vale, you'd think it would be a standard foresty starting town. [[spoiler: Then you see the tree...]]
* {{Tearjerker}}: Speaking to a mute patient in the Sanitarium of Defiance Bay [[spoiler: allows you to peer into his soul, finding that most of what was done to him was ForScience and a researcher's lust for curing the Hollowborn]]. Bear in mind that this experiment [[spoiler: is affecting his ''soul'']].
-->'''Soul Memory''': [[spoiler: Then [Azlo] turns a knob and you feel yourself begin to crack from within and you can feel pieces of you torn away, like having your insides chewed by a horde of rats, and you are screaming a scream you can barely hear]].

* BlindIdiotTranslation: Much ink has been spilled over the issue of the French translation of the game. There are multiples cases of sentences which are oddly translated and overly literal, prompting players to wonder if the translator gave up at some point and just Google translated parts of the script.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Okay, so we don't know any yet. But the final stretch goal included Obsidian using a live orchestra for the soundtrack...

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Party banter has a few highlights.
** Between Eder and Sagani...
-->'''Eder''': Sagani, does your fox bite?
-->'''Sagani''': [[BluntYes Yes]].
-->'''Eder''': ...can I pet him anyway?
-->'''Sagani''': It's your hand.
-->'''Eder''': I'm gonna pet 'im!
** Between You and Hiraivias...
-->'''The Watcher''': Where are you from, originally?
-->'''Hiraivias''': My mother's crotch.
-->'''The Watcher''': What a coincidence. [[YourMom I TOO came from your mother's crotch.]]

* DuelingGames: Apparently with Bloodborne.

* HateDumb: There is no abundance of commenters who take the recent "delay" as a sign that Obsidian supposedly "failed" again. The truth is that Obsidian had revised their release date from the beginning when they received much more money than they expected.

* BrokenBase: The game choosing turn-based combat instead of real time with pause.
