Eternity Avowed - Obsidian's first person action-RPG in the Pillars of Eternity setting - coming February 18th

[Roguey]

one of the things that's core to Pillars games is having a political story that's running alongside this very deep, divine, metaphysical story, all around the player who has one foot in both.

How many times do they have to fail at this before realizing it doesn't work?

I finally found someone praising Avowed:

Yeaaah, I get the feeling the youtube jew was paid to say shit like this.

I also found it ironic that what Josh once called "lack of direction" after PoE, has been adopted as a core design pillar of the games in this setting.

Also playing Fallout style RPGs is "muddling through the story". This woman has no business making games, bless her heart.

 

[Roguey]

So PoE's three-pitches-stapled-together story wasn't all that good, and Deadfire's more-focused-take on that same concept wasn't any good either, and Carrie sees that and goes

"Hmmm attractive young women? kinda weird, where are the used up hags/lesbians that TOW provided us?!?!"

Little girls aren't young attractive women.

Little girls aren't young attractive women.

Did you see the body on the Stellar Blade protagonist? That is no little girl.

At any rate the more I see from them, especially Carrie fluffing up basic features as if she just invented them, the less confident I am in this game.

No romances? Okay fine but stop pretending it's anything but laziness.

Classless system? That's the worst to me. Has it EVER worked out in an RPG where you didn't just become a blob jack-of-all-trades even if you tried not to?

 

[Lacrymas]

I mean that the guy who said they look like little girls isn't shocked they are young attractive women in his games instead of butch lesbians. It's that they literally look like little girls to him who we are meant to find attractive and little girls definitely aren't attractive young women in any universe.

Ever heared of Fallout or Arcanum?

I don't think Fallout is a good example, considering that all you need to do is tag one weapon skill and speech since science and repair can be raised by books while others skills have no real use (although those two don't have much usage either).

Fyi, if you wanna hear more rambling, Carrie's about to be live interviewed on CohhCarnage stream right now.

 

[Lacrymas]

I can't wait to hear more about what this game won't have.

 

[mediocrepoet]

I can't wait to hear more about what this game won't have.

Quality.
Fun.
Interesting gameplay.

 

[Quillon]

Carrie doesn't even understand what Cohh's asking lmao

Well shit Tyranicon if you think it's fabulously optimistic that the game won't have quality, fun, or interesting gameplay, I'm not even sure what that means. You think I have a hate boner and you think it's going to be awesome? Please elaborate.

I also don't think it'll have profitable sales.

 

[Quillon]

obsidian's main marketing feature is weapon switching... sorry LOADOUTS and somehow cohh is very excited for it, wtf is going on

 

[Yoomazir]

What have we learned from this interview? Carrie thinks Ichiban (from Like a Dragon) is a himbo.

 

[Tyranicon]

I think the marketing for this game is like the zuck pretending he's human, if that answers your question.



It's the RPG equivalent of a lizard person. And bonus! It has lots of lizard people in it!

Cohh is well known for cushioning bullshit to his audience. It's why he continues to get these type of interviews.

 

[Lacrymas]

I still don't understand what Obs are going for with this game. Is it Pillars of Eternity: Elder Scrolls Edition? That's weird even as a concept.

 

[Moink]

Seems to be more like TOW: Fantasy Edition.

 

[Alienman]

Is there a link to this interview?

I'm sad to say I've spent years communicating with dumb office plancton. They sound exactly like her. Rambling and striving to produce as much meaningless noise so as to fill a time slot of about a minute to "answer" whatever you've asked them. Doesn't matter it doesn't mean anything. What counts, in her mind, is that she is filling up time.

Was this on his twitch or where was it?
