So Parker is directing this? God I hope Jones is on the project too. Can’t explain why but reading about Avellone talking about how Parker and Jones fucking hated each other and were constantly insulting each other made me so happy.

That this is Parker’s baby, Parker whom Avellone names as being the guy sent to clean up utter dumpsterfires into barely passable games, tells me a lot about how Obsidian views the Pillars IP. No wonder Sawyer is so depressed.

I don't get why they're just doing some lame reveal trailer. Is this supposed to be impressive? This isn't some team that only does a game every 5 or 10 years, this is Obsidian. There's nothing here beyond, I guess the setting and that its probably inspired by Skyrim.

Geee another garbage game coming out in 2021. It is amazing how much big budget trash is going to get dumped during that year. Goty battle will be quite the thing tho

Can't wait for Todd to announce his skyrim in space and biowaste to shit out "dragon age:gasping wheelchair mages".

That said i am hyped for stalker 2.

Maybe they'll give us more wallpapers with quotes and people will somehow be convinced it's another Obsidian Fallout game again.

To generate more HYPE for their Outer Worlds and Grounded announcements. Again it's similar to Bethesda's early announcement of TES6 in an otherwise boring year for them. "HEY WE'RE MAKING A SKYRIM and btw plz buy our games that are actually coming out soon."

Geee another garbage game coming out 2021.

I think this might be a 2022 game.

It depends on microsoft marketing strategy. If it is anything like outer farts one,it should come out in the first half of 21. Still judging by the trailer,i must agree with you,it looks like very early concept stage....like anthem. The whole trailer looks like something they put out because they had to put something out. It is vague and lack any direction,it looks like apeing from nu pathfinder,like undeads,fallen kingdom,sieges etc etc. On top of that it looked like a VR game.

To butter Sawyer up to the whole project, it is said Feargus left various copies of Skyrim around bike trails that Josh would frequent.

It is said Sawyer bitched so much that he actually became a grandmother, hence his current look in 2020.

I'm excited to see Eora explored further. I think Obsidian at least has a chance to make a compelling immersive-sim open-world RPG.

The trailer didn't really say much beyond the bare minimum of what type of RPG this is, but I suspect it's still pretty early in development.

I like the trailer. You just need to use a little bit of imagination to understand its true meaning. Imagine the arrow that is flying through the clouds to have a phallic shape, the clouds to represent New Vegas and Mask of the Betrayer, and on the other side, a bent over Obsidian fan of years past, vigorously stretching his butt cheeks apart.

should have been a spinoff game about Eder they could have called it Eder Scrolls

A Skyrim clone where you are Eder and every time you fall off a mountain or walk into a spike trap your character just shakes his head and makes a self-own joke

Hell, the entire plot can be Eder going around looking for his lost brother, yea high, middle aged fellow, have you seen him

The game comes out at Xbox 1 as well. I think 2022, two years after the release of xbox x, is a little late for a cross-gen game.

2021 sounds more reasonable.

I thought they said this was next gen only? Also don’t forget about Covid. That shit isn’t going away any time soon, and that’s going to slow development down. 2022 seems like the earliest possible date if they’re actually making a AAA RPG.
