Pillars 1: Would you prefer Defiance Bay to be controlled by a lawful evil military dictatorship, a neutral evil crime syndicate, or a chaotic evil fundamentalist mob?
Pillars 2: Would you prefer the Deadfire Archipelago to be controlled by a monarchy of spoiled royals with their heads so far up their pampered butts they don't see how their caste system is destroying their people, a group of anarchists in the negative stereotype way pirates who are out for their own profit and don't care about anything else, a late stage capitalist megacorp that will work the people to death and literally grind up the world for profit, or a military that wants the people alive only because they can be used as ballast?
Pillars of Eternity 3 (hypothesis by yours truly): Would you prefer Yezuha to be controlled by a fundamentalist line of priest-monarchs that have owned the land for centuries, a group of modern-day descendants of a religious cult that has done a good job of converting the rest of the world by force, a sect of head-in-the-clouds atheists that want to ban all religious and cultural traditions, a scientific group infamous for torturing people for their research achievements, or a pack of polar nihilists who hope that spreading their faith will please their god enough to disintegrate their souls?
