At the end of everything, hold onto anything

Tyranny is good but for mostly different reasons than Pillars.

Tyranny has a much more interesting world and storyline I find, but the streamlined companions and main character do mean less combat variety. Pillars has a much larger variety of character builds and that applies to companions as well. I also find a lot of the Pillars companions somewhat better characters whereas most Tyranny characters are mouthpieces for their factions.

That being said, Tyranny has much much tighter encounter design with less trash mob fights. It also brings back the necessity of pre-combat buffing on harder difficulties, which I like Pillars for excluding.

Overall I like Tyranny better but it's not by a HUGE margin.

The class variety in pillars was wasted unless you played through the game more than once though, so that seems OK

Yes it was.

At the same time Tyranny encourages multiple playthroughs yet you have less variety in classes. It's odd design.
