Pillars of Eternity First Impressions and my personal story!

I started playing pillars of eternity. The game starts you off with a group of travelers and you've gotten sick. they pair you with a blonde girl named Calisca, seems kinda cool, she's helping me find some medicine for my sickness.We get into a conversation and we talk about our past and our future plans.Turns out she has a sick sister that she's on her way to visit to help her get better.
We go out on a mission for the healing berries I need then we run into trouble. Some dudes attacked us but we manage to survive. We run back to the camp to find out everyone but one guy has been murdered. He's now being held at sword point by the crazy mofos that killed the travelers. The leader is ranting about us having trespassed and that we're all going to pay. With my intellect I manage to talk him out of killing Heodan by making him think twice about his odds. Heodan sees the opportunity and gets away form the maniac and a battle ensues.
Heodan is wounded so he can't do much but me and Calisca are able to take out the bad guys. Not even a minute passes when demonic spirits start to gust through the land like a hurricane of ghosts and we have to make a run for an opening into a cavern. As we start to make our way as fast as we can one of the bad guys who was feigning death grabs Heodan. I could just let him die and go into the cavern with Calisca but I decide to help him. With my dexterity I throw a rock from far and I hit the bad guy freeing Heodan and we all make it safely into the cavern just before the ghost storm can take us with it.
Just as we started to take a deep breath Calisca notices that there may be bandits in the cavern and that we're still in danger. Heodan is badly hurt and is requesting to rest for a while before we move on. Calisca argues that we must keep going and look for another way out of the cavern. I look at Heodan and he's defenitely not going to make it if we keep going so I decide that we rest for a while. We find an empty tent and some camping supplies which came in handy. I press the camp button. 6 hours go buy and Heodan wakes up feeling a lot better and rested but Calisca is gone. Heodan looks at our things and realizes that she took the only water we had. I tell him if we hurry we could try to catch up with her.
So we make our way through the caverns and we come across an area with a lot of traps and we find Calisca laying dead in one of them. I feel a sense of loss. I really thought I'd be able to catch up to her specially since I had put a point into my character's running speed. After a moment of silence we take the weapons and supplies she was carrying and we keep searching for an exit. We encounter some spiders and monsters but nothing we can't easily handle.
At last we see the opening into the outside world. As we exit the cavern we see some necromancer looking dude in the distance next to some kind of spirit channeling machine. Then all of the sudden there's some kind of energy explosion that knocks me down and out. I hallucinate That I'm asking the necromancer something and before he answers I wake up on the ground feeling healed from what my previous ailment was but now feeling a different kind of sickness. a worse kind of sickness. Next to me lies Heodan in a pool of his own blood. My character is like "I need to find help for this new disease in the next town." He litterally could care less that heodan is dead with no rhyme or reason. I'm like wtf just happened to my friends? I had to get over Calisca quickly but at least I had Heodan. and now he's dead for no reason and my character doesn't give a shit and he's a monk!.
I tried making it to the next town but I felt so lonely and depressed. I wen't back to an earlier save to see what would happen if I had made the choice to force heodan to keep going. Well we stay together and Calisca doesn't die in a trap and turns out Hedoan is able to make it out of the cave without any rest but then they both die just outside the cave to the strange spirit storm. Why did the game take my party away from me. I'm not motivated to keep going. Anyway I just had to get this off my chest. lol
