This is an old-school isometric RPG that is every bit as good as the giants (Pillars of Eternity, Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale). It does have a significant edge over pretty much all the others though: It lets you play the villain, for real. And not necessarily in a "Oh I am bored, I'l just pick all the 'evil choices'" sort of way, but rather in a way that really makes you think about the gravity of your choices. Speaking of which, there is a big emphasis on morality and politics, and the game really doesn't let you be "goody-two-shoes", because the setting of the story just wouldn't allow you to do that. After all, what even is "moral" and "immoral" in a society where the "evil" has triumped?

Do yourself a favor and pick up this game. You won't regret it if you like story- & choice-heavy RPGs.

I really wish Obsidian kept investing into this IP and followed-up with a sequel. There is so much potential with this one.
