Game News Obsidian's next big RPG is Avowed, a Skyrim-like set in the Pillars of Eternity universe

Niggas just use windows 10 LTSC lol.

I like the dark tone of the trailer. Would have been better without the edgy story teller, but I stay optimistic about this one.

Awood will be the ultimate game for the fratboys who want press x to teabag every NPC and the twitter trannies who don't play games and who want every character to have all genitalia.

 

[orcinator]

They missed the point of New Vegas by copying the shit combat so I assume they'll also miss the point of Skyrim by making it impossible to use mods to turn it into a porn game.
And you won't even be able to use your imagination since they'll reuse the outer worlds character creator and make attractive characters impossible to make.

 

[Iskramor]

luj1 your bets bet iswin 10 ltsc or linux(steamplay) and maybe mac.There is reason why no one uses XP anymore.

Woedica was already the antagonist in Pillars 1.

The antagonist was Thaos, who was a Woedicuck, but you could side with Woedica after you killed him to finish his plan.

What's the whole fuss about W10 exclusivity suddenly? I was curious and I wanted to kill some time with Death Stranding but Mr Kojima wants me to upgrade my OS to play his abomination. Hopefully CDPR don't do the same thing with their game.

Windows 7 is a dead OS. Time to get with the times, gramps.

Avowed? Disavowed.

Man, really wish if they came up with a new IP or just used Shadowrun since its owned by Microsoft already I think instead of PoE's.

 

[Riddler]

Lol, what a godawful trailer

It's going to take awhile to get used to Obsidian games being Xbox exclusives.

It's Xbox & Windows 10 PC exclusive.

No PS5 means a hard pass from me. I only play console games on the best console.

No windows 7 means a hard pass from me. I only play pc games on good OS.

which linux distro do you use?

It's not a dead OS it's a complete OS, hipster.

So if Josh Sawyer is not working on this what fucked up renaissance shit has Obsidian still got in the pipe???

 

[Luzur]

Why is the title so stupid. "Avowed". What the fuck.

could be based of "UwU" meme?

I don't use linux on any of my home computers. At work I frequently install Ubuntu when I have need for a linux machine.

Afaik there's no linux distro which works well for gaming?

At this point, any distro can play almost as many games as Windows 10. There are some games that will only run on W10, and there are some games that won't run on W10, but will run on Linux through Wine. Especially games from the era of 1999-2005.

 

[Lilliput McHammersmith]

Oh man whatever you do, do not read the comments on Reddit about this game.

 

[jac8awol]

How can we make something cool and memorable like: "War, war never changes" ?? Well, let's just basically use that. And don't forget to pander to SJWs by putting queens first! And use a setting that no one really liked and was a commercial failure the 2nd time around. 3rd time's the charm, am I right? Choice and consequence? No no, anything meaningful from the 1st game was retconned in the 2nd, so don't worry about any of that world ending fake god stuff, that was just for shits and giggles. Watchers? Huh come on man, that's so not ekera. We've got a new class of 1 trick chosen one this time, the Avowed. It's gonna be Xtreme!

 

[User0001]

It's funny cause the name of the game sounds exactly how the skeleton would pronounce what just happened

 

[Verylittlefishes]

Avowed? Disavowed.

2012 - "Hey, let's save our studio by bringing back old isometric RPGs that everyone loved so much"

2017 - "Wow, that was successful, let's try again"

2020 - "The genre is more alive then ever, there's a lot of hype around new titles... let's do Skyrim!"

 

[Verylittlefishes]

2012 - Let's clone Baldur's Gate!

2017 - Let's clone Baldur's Gate 2 BUT WITH PIRATES YOU KNOW EVERYONE IS A PIRATE AND ALSO BLACK.

2019 - Stupid faggots didn't like Pallegina, let's clone that New Vegas stuff that was good

2020 - haha, MCA is fucked, let's say nothing.

PoE2 flopped so they might as well.

 

[Morality Games]

Obsidian lost the isometric market to other developers and it's not really suitable for them, anyway.

They've basically got unlimited resources under Microsoft (who at this point is more interested in buying hits than anything else). No more excuses, let's see what they can do in the genre of Fallout: New Vegas.

 

[ciox]

This unironically looks like it's inspired by Underworld Ascendant.

 

[Forest Dweller]

So if Josh Sawyer is not working on this what fucked up renaissance shit has Obsidian still got in the pipe???

Hopefully a big black dick.
