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

Nobody's going to even mention the fact that the dwarf is an archer?

You need long arms for archery, especially with medieval era tech.

This is why dwarfs are usually either shown with crossbows or guns in most media.

Way to fail every step of the way, man. Just like Dragon Age.

The dwarves in The Hobbit (yes, the book) frequently used bows, IIRC.

(It's interesting how the dwarf archetype at that early stage in fantasy literature is recognizable but subtly different.)

Whether Dwarves can use bows or not is surely the number one problem with Allowed

Just don't tell Sawyer or he's gonna make a needy 3 hour long video

I think dwarves could be amazing archers. They have very strong arms and legs, so they would be able to use the most powerful bows. They're great craftsmen - that mean they'd excel in creation of the best bows ever. And they usually portrayed as very meticulous and patient - very important traits for good archers.

Was it ever mentioned in Pillars that dwarves have shorter arms? Sure, they have short legs, but their proportions seem to be different. They certainly don't suffer from shorter range in melee, so most likely they resemble apes more, with short legs and long arms.

And obviously they don't lack in upper body strength and contrary to what D&D tells us, that's the most important stat for an archer, especially with composite bow.

They did release two full-body pictures of Sagani. https://pillarsofeternity.fandom.com/wiki/Sagani#Gallery

Does everyone want Veilguard and Bloodlines 2 to fail on their own merits?

Not sure what you mean, I dont want them to fail at all. Id rather they be great games, I enjoyed both DA:Origins and Bloodlines and considering all the time and technology available to improve them these sequels should be excellent...Right? Nothing could possibly go wrong?

Who's gonna chicken out first!
The self assured yet practical high testosterone of KCD
Or the self preserving yet volatile estrogen of Avowed

I don't care how it happens, I just want Failguard to be a commercial failure. Bioware needs to be shut down as soon as possible.

Well Avowed moved to early 2025 out of a claim that late 2024 was too packed and now KCD 2 is moving out of late 2024, so if Failguard and Bloodlines 2 fail, it won't be because of fierce competition.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

Unless they also get moved.

Everything should succeed or fail on its own merits.

Everything should succeed or fail on its own merits.

On the merits of their advertising and marketing budgets/teams, anyway!

 

[Fedora Master]

The only place Avowed should move is the trash

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

Jokes aside, it really kinda seems doomed at this point. KCD is already looks much better in every way so more time in the oven can only make them them teabag Avowed even harder.

Who in this has freckles? I guarantee there's an agenda. I've seen it in comics, TV, certain games. Is it a ginger takeover?
