Wytchsun: Elleros Origins - some sort of indie Bethesda competitor

ABOUT THIS GAME
You are the only one who can stop the cataclysm from destroying the land of Elleros.

Every 400 years a cataclysm wipes out nearly all life in the land of Elleros. The last cataclysm was 399 years ago. This is the year everything changes.

Wytchsun brings to life a complete open world for you to explore in any way you choose. From exploring ancient caves to battling corrupted necromancers, Wytchsun enables you to play the way you choose.

The fate of the TriImperium hangs in the balance. Battle, Explore and Command: Choices define your experience, and even one decision can change the course of history in Elleros.

Terrible generic fantasy name? Check.
Terrible generic fantasy setting? Check.
Early Access? Check.
Unreal 4 marketplace assets? Check.
Windows 10 taskbar in your trailer? Check.
Looks like I'll be in for a good time.

Still, it's the only thing that looks remotely comparable to a Bethesda open world besides Kingdom Come Deliverance. Might be interesting but I'm alarmed by the prominence of the magical compass on the HUD and all the markers in the videos I've seen. I'll check and see if there's an over-reliance on UI elements to play the game properly or if the NPCs actually give you enough information to figure out where you're going. Even Zelda and Assassin's Creed are going in the direction of Morrowind and Gothic's exploration these days.

A copy? Fraud?
So, another group "Rampage Games" released Elleros Origins: Season 1... Now "Rampage Interactive" is releasing the same exact thing but the name is Wytchsun. Yeah, don't give these people your money. Something shady going on here.

O_o

but also

so if anyone would want to buy this game right now it would be intelligent to buy Elleros Origins: Season I and then he'll get a free key for Wytchsun, which costs more if you buy it directly.

This is Midcline.

Their business practice sounds scammy. In b4 Steam removes the game because the assets were stolen.

Wytchsun? Sounds like they are simultaneously trying to sound like Witcher and Kim Jong Un. Which made me think of the latter running around with 2 swords on his back.

Another fool who fails to realize people play skyrim to masturbate.

some sort of indie Bethesda competitor

What a time we live where people try to compete in shitting. What next? Bioware competitor? That is going to be easy, though, Bioware is probably gone by now.

Has anyone actually watched the gameplay video? This 'game', if you can call it that, looks fucking awful. The sound effects alone sound like something a high school student might make for a school project. Delete this fucking thread.

The name just screams shovelware.

I don't like first-person RPGs

 

[Fedora Master]

I guess they got the cuck quota right to compete with Bethesda.

it's a stock image someone on the forums found

and they still haven't said anything about why the game hasn't released 18 hours after it should have released.

This is actually the third release date they've missed.

I contacted the developer a month ago, and was left with the impression that it's a scam.

 

[Feargus Jewhart]

Some of those sound effects sound exactly like Skyrims... It looks like it could be incline, but it also looks like it could be a scam like others said. Let us see when it actually releases on is it any good or is it salvageable. Hopefully it contains no stolen assets.

I did, it looks way too good for an indie studio with zero experience. This is not a compliment to its quality either per say....
