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

[Heroic Liberator]

Gamers be thirsty.

companions

It's a first person action RPG, I don't understand why anyone would even want companions in a game like that. They just get in your way.

 

[mediocrepoet]

The four companions are the aumaua guy, the oceanfolk woman, the orlan gal, and a bearded dwarf guy. Predicting the orlan's going to be popular.

What the hell? Is that xeet real?

How is it possible that Obsidian is even worse without Soyer on the project?

 

[TheKing01]

No romance for the players. But they get to watch others have sex in a corner lmao.

Another product pushing for the normalization of beastiality. It's interesting how we as a species are on a trajectory of complete and total degeneracy, almost in spite of the mistakes of the past

 

[Baron Tahn]

Is mod support in? I think it's quite wish to ditch romances. Waste of fucking energy and if mods are in and the game is decent there will be stuff for sure.

Ed: wise not wish

 

[Lemming42]

Is there a more boring name for a setting than "The Living Lands". What's fucking next. How about "The Questing Realms" or "The Legendary Isles". Fuck off.

 

[Roguey]

One wonders what he actually has been doing since his visual novel shipped more than 18 months ago. As much as Feargus loves him, he probably still has to keep up appearances of doing work.

He gives feedback on Avowed and TOW 2 that nobody has to listen to and is being held on to until they get the greenlight for a project he's excited about.

Furries are not bestiality.

Has anyone downloaded the "fankit" on their site? In addition to cosplay guides (for characters you've not encountered in an unreleased game you haven't played), you can get some cool screenshots:

You could tell me this was TOW and I would not look twice. It's actually "The Slumbering Fields" apparently (christ) but it looks like TOW to me.

They also include a screenshot of what appears to be The Elder Scrolls Online:

EDIT: I think they forgot to include the cosplay guide. It's not here!

He's gone on record saying he makes upwards of 200k per year. Nobody's feedback is worth that much, and I can't believe they'd tolerate him sitting around for a year and a half because "nothing excites him". Then pitch something, you fucking clown.

Feargus obviously puts a great deal of value on Josh and it's been said that MS really wants a follow-up to New Vegas if the stars on that can ever align.

 

[Child of Malkav]

As much as anyone focused on gameplay detests companion romances, the success of Baldur's Gate 3 has ensured this will be a prominent feature of large-budget party-based RPGs for the forseeable future (and even including Bethesda-style PC plus one companion RPGs; Starfield already had romances for the four mandatory companions). From the perspective of profit maximization, this is sadly the opposite of wasting resources, for any game in which companion romances are feasible.

Yeah but it still is unexplainable, unless you explain with "lol, money".

Furries are not bestiality.

Someone took the time to think, visualize and make this "guide". WTF?

 

[mediocrepoet]

The Dead Lands.

 

[Baron Tahn]

Well to be fair that looks more awesome than anything from the recent slew of slop.

What a worthless fucking prima donna. I hope his next project flops so hard that no one wants hire him ever again.

We're already well aware that Avowed takes place in the same setting as the Pillars of Eternity games, a world created by Josh Sawyer.

 

[mediocrepoet]

That's true. It's also true that the relationship would be the reverse of what was described above. Deadlands is way older than POE.

Inb4 he's making the "Baldur's Gate 3 killer."

Or a hipster bike assembly and repair shop irl since he's into that sort of thing))

Don't be silly. That would be useful and productive.

 

[Baron Tahn]

I'd probably be staying out of it too if I was him. If you know every good idea is going to get shot down in favour of trash why bother.

 

[SlightlyRadioactive]

Weren't orlans supposed to be shorter than dwarves?

 

[Quillon]

Weren't orlans supposed to be shorter than dwarves?

yeah she seems like short human with fake ears

also I bet aumauas are not nearly as tall in this gaym as they were before, which I wouldn't mind if retconned tho; it is not very apparent in isometric view but they are way too big imo

 

[scytheavatar]

Wait, Josh isn't involved? I've been wishing agony and excrement and death upon him for TOW, but looking it up, it turns out he really isn't involved with that or with this. Josh, I am so sorry. I'm so ashamed of what I've been wishing upon you. I'll go back to wishing misery upon you for PoE instead.

As the Todd Howard/Miyamoto of Obsidian, Josh without a doubt has been consulted for the game and given his opinions. He's probably not involved in the day to day production of the game so he can't command Patel and crew to make the game he wants.

We've only had 200 people working on this for 5 years!

Seeing this picture makes me wonder if Sawyer wishes there were onlyfan whores cosplaying as Xoti or Pellagina and making epic memes like this (The answer is yes).
