Eternity Avowed - Obsidian's first person action-RPG in the Pillars of Eternity setting - coming November 12th(?)

[normie]

Which will feature the more derivative gameplay and cringe inducing writing? This or Dragon Age Dread Wolf?

Avowed will have more derivative gameplay (it'll be Skyrim with all the features removed just as Outer Worlds was for Fallout), but Dread Wolf will easily take the cringe writing crown.

No, even worse. Fallout : Farmville Edition. Now you can't say that Bethesda's Fallout games don't have agriculture.

Oh wow, that is actually how you're supposed to spell it. I've been using the meme wrong all along

Also, if Avowed has the same writers as Deadfire/The Outer Worlds, it's dead on arrival. The writing in those games is so juvenile and girlish, it's embarrassing

If I ever interact with mainstream arrpeegee writers I'll remember to ask them what coffee shop they got hired out of.

Considering the current Microsoft/Xbox crisis, its kinda funny the extra weight this game has on its shoulders

Emil Pagliarulo apparently told the writers of Starfield to "write what you know", and one of the consequences of that is a quest about expanding a coffee shop.

"My character is a level 20 wolfman rogue named Dread who's a pretty cool guy and doesn't afraid of anything. He can teleport behind people and one shot them with his katana. Nothing Personal kid"

Hey, at least he's not a stealth archer.

From "romances shouldn't be in rpgs" to "back when romances in rpgs were good"...

At some point you have to admit the battle was lost and just deal with what you get.

 

[Jenkem]

The new footage and details that will be shown soon are going to be great.. Another Obsidian slam dunk.

 

[Butter]

Lower your expectations folks! We've only had 200 people working on this for 5 years! Don't expect a lot of features or content! We're the underdog so you should support our work! Just don't expect it to be good...

I'm still not recovered from The Outer Worlds. Genuinely scarring experience. I'm not ready for more. I can't take something like that again. I'm not fucking ready. Why can't the company just go bust and the game get scrapped before release.

 

[PunchYouInTheFace]

Need more games like Deadfire and The Outer Worlds.

Are you some sort of drug addict?

The Outer Worlds at least has vets like Cain. You should be scared of the games that will be coming out of Obsidian without them around. They have a high chance of making The Outer Worlds look like Skyrim in comparison.

Oh my, the Cain that praised the FO show? The Cain that made TOW? That Cain? Just let Obsidian die at this point.

I get the impression Cain's influence over many things was minimal, the guy had a story about how it took him two weeks to get a small tweak made to enemy AI because of the bizarre chain of command at Obsidian.

Plus while pretty much every aspect of TOW is a trainwreck, the writing is the real shocker, and Avowed is surely going to be written the same people. I could just about have tolerated walking around an empty-ass world getting into the worst gunfights in gaming history if it weren't for the mind-rending shit of every single line of dialogue in the game. I guess Avowed might be an even wilder ride but I struggle to imagine how.

I wish they would release some new footage just for something new to make fun of
