I don't really follow Obsidian these days, so could someone tell me if they would have started working on this game before being bought by Microsoft or not.
Not sure why everyone is assuming that it's going to be a TES competitor. I doubt Microsoft is going to dump the amount of money needed to make such a project on Obsidian. It's likely going to be of a much smaller game, like TOW. Probably be closer to something like Arx Fatalis in scale. Anyway, it's just another fantasy RPG. I have no further interest in this. I'll keep my eye out for all the juicy butthurt that always follows an Obsidian release, but that's as far as my interest here goes.
Because they said so, multiple times. Feargus even introduced it as their new *big rpg* right before the trailer.

"Because Feargus said it" lmao
Mentions of oaths isn't the problem. I just can't actually figure out what they mean. Like, just denotatively, what does it mean to say "is an oath worth the weight of a crown"? The only meaning I can come to is, "If keeping your oath means you'll have to be king, would you still keep your oath?" Which seems like a fairly silly framing, since two seconds earlier the video praised war for "turning heroes into kings and queens."
Big game by what metric? Obsidians our ours? What do they mean by big? Scope of the game, or just the budget for higher quality art assets and better marketing and Q&A? And to repeat myself again: Microsoft isn't going to start dumping magical piles of money on Obsidian just because they own them. They don't have a proven track record of being a huge house hold name like Bethesda. I think it's way too premature to start assuming that it's a proper TES competitor, especially if a shyster like Feargus himself is the one making these claims.Not sure why everyone is assuming that it's going to be a TES competitor.

Uhm yes? It's not just that. We've known about this project for a while, we know about the status it has as Obsidian's *big game* and we even knew that its going to be a Skyrim Clone. Not that I know the exact budget, but every other project Obsidian has, has lesser status/budget than this one.
This is going to be the next Fallout 3 but for PoE fanbase. The writing in the trailer is already up to snuff.
Not named but still meant to be one.But it's not called Pillars of Eternity 3, or even Pillars of Eternity: Spinoff.
Same as FO:BOS (does anyone remember this turd?) for PS2/XBOX I guess? Universal utter disgust that was. Even moreso than Fallout 3.Makes you wonder how Fallout 3 would have been received and what its reputation would have been today if it had done the same thing.
It's probably just a sidedish to get people interested in Sawyer's Pillars of Eternity 3, which is going to be a tabletop game.

"Oath" and "Crown" are woedica things. "weight of a Crown" perhaps.Mentions of oaths isn't the problem. I just can't actually figure out what they mean.

My guess is that to become a king you need to take a horrible oath. Like : "you can become king, but you have to eat only stale bread and water for the rest of your life. If only once the bread you eat won't be stale enough, then you break the oath and lose your kingdom. This is how magic of oaths works here, stranger"
I think that the writer was shitty and "oath" and "crown" should reverse places in the sentence.

I dunno man, something like Arx Fatalis doesnt sell on current market, console peasants want their endless open world with alot of towers to climb, besides, Warhorse managed to make a open world style game and Spiders as well, even with Obsidian usual shenanigans, I think they can pull it off (I dont think will be a good game though, they lost thier best storytellers and I'm not excited for smash the left mouse button AAA combat).Not sure why everyone is assuming that it's going to be a TES competitor.
