I don't think the story will have anything to do with The Watcher, which is a very good thing. Each game should have a separate protagonist, with his/her own story - a lesson Owlcat Games have learned immediately, and I love them for that.

 

[Infinitron]

So, someone at Obsidian forums apparently "translated" the runes on the sword.

Not very surprising to say the least.

I guess that's the protagonist's title? Fatebinder, Oathbinder, oh well.

Anytime someone mentions Tyranny, the fact that it will never be expanded upon with future titles breaks my heart a little.

I thought the sword was a quippy sidekick that poisons your food if you break your oath(s).

When's the release date though

just in time to compete with the next TES game

Lol does anybody even know how far in development TES 6 is? Maybe they're finally at the point where they have the powerpoint for the press release for the teaser.

To be fair, Bethesda is typically quiet about their games until only a couple months before release.

 

[Ulysa]

It's funny how I didn't know what Eora was even when I'm playing PoE2 for the 2nd time. But anyhow... I prefer it's on PoE world instead of a new generic one.

First person only? This sucks, I want to see my char. I liked the end of the trailer with the balrog and the cool spell.

Didn't Todd Howard flat out state that 2024 is the earliest possible release date?

 

[FeelTheRads]

Oh yeah, new game from Obsidian, new butthurt from Infinitron for everyone who says something even remotely negative about it.

 

[None]

Feargus was a mistake.

 

[Häyhä]

"AVOWED"

Pronunciation:



Seriously though, this must be a contender for one of the most retarded video game names ever concieved. :D

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Can't wait for the part where you wake up and you're in a cart on the way to helgen just to realize you bought skyrim again

The setting does have some potential, especially taking into account that it's the only Renaissance Fantasy setting where gunpowder weapons and their influence on warfare are taken properly into account. The idea behind the pantheon, though somewhat fedora tipping for my tastes, is also rather unique. Unfortunately, due to the fact that it's an original setting, the developers fell into the trap of over-exposing every element and idea behind said universe.

In other words - too much Martin, too little Tolkien. "A whisper can be more powerful than a shout" as a certain painter once said.

Should've gone with "Awoke" and try to score some twitter points.

Made me laugh.

So some 3d artist switched to runic keyboard and wrote some boring shit.

Of course people "deciphered" it, and it's something boring. Nobody at Obshitian even thought about placing a real easter egg there.

Nothing can beat Kingdom Come: Deliverance in terms of titles that make you go "What?"

Fanboys are fanboys. What can you do.

 

[2house2fly]

doubt it, since in the setting Oathbinder is Woedica's title

Here, drink this to calm yourself down:

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Fantasy scripts always being nothing but the latin alphabet but with different characters is pretty unimaginative.

 

[BING XI LAO]

At least it's not the clunky, tryhard, boring ''Pillars of Eternity'' name.

 

[somewhatgiggly]

Oh...it's Pillars shit. Whelp.

 

[Delterius]

AVOWED - Fampyrs gone Postenago, Ekera: A Pillars of Eternity Story is the first Pillars of Eternity game that combines the best elements of traditional crpg games with high level, first person shooting technology. Set in the Empire of Aedyr, fight elves, humans, fampyrs, wbloblins and black hispano-italians in your quest to become King in what one might even call a Kingmaker story. Now no longer featuring Sawyer of the Pillars of Eternity series.

Nicely said. I like PoE world I just don't retain the names, the lore for some reason. Maybe is because I'm over 30 and you absorb all that nerdy thing better when you are a teen . There's just no more space in the brain.
