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

[Butter]

Josh is making Darklands 2. That one's going to be more interesting than any of these other games.

 

[undecaf]

I wonder if Tim and Leonard have anything going on with this, or are they busy with the jokes in TOW?

No this is Chris Parker's baby.

 

[Fedora Master]

Heh, an FPS set in a world that traditionally had isometric RPGs based on it?

Kind of like Fallout 3.

...

Oh no.

At least they can't kill a venerable franchise with this.

 

[DeepOcean]

It is only a teaser for a Skyrim clone from Obsidian and there is already 4 pages of everything is shiet, t I sense this game will be a drama gold mine.

I don't think Pillars 3 is cancelled for good. Only postponed.

 

[EtcEtcEtc]

This is why Microsoft bought Obsidian, not to make more isometrics.

Same w/ inxile - I bet money we'll be seeing a first person open world Wasteland 4 in the next 2 years.

They bought these studios to make their own Elder Scrolls and Fallout, w/ built in lore and developers.

 

[Ibn Sina]

Obshitian releases another turd.

A turn based Rpg set in medieval Germany? Sounds racist as fuck, cancel now.

 

[Xamenos]

All writers left in the company are shitty.

Their games are renowned for being buggy messes at release.

Their games have also been going from bad to worse for ages.

Last release(s) were so bad even the face of the company had to admit mistakes were made.

Looks like Obsidian finally accepted they're nothing more than Bethesda-lite. Gonna be good for a laugh, if nothing else. But I wonder how shitty its mechanics are gonna be. Balance-man is apparently not involved, and the worst thing he's ever designed was ten times better than the absolute nothing of TOW.

 

[sser]

Oh shit, got pretty close there.

 

[jackofshadows]

New Grounded trailer is so much better by the way.

Don't worry, he's a good boy. The game's NPCs are sure to reflect the demographics of #currentyear's America.

After Outer Worlds, i'm not looking forward to this.

 

[Maculo]

After Outer Worlds, i'm not looking forward to this.

I pretty much ignored that one and didn't read the thread. Was it just boring, or was it incredibly buggy to top it all off?

 

[barghwata]

I honestly prefer they continue making action rpg bethesda-style games then the garbage RTwP infinity engine clones we got before.

 

[Cerulean]

I'm looking forward to lots of people spending $50 and putting in 500+ hours just to say how much it sucks. :D

 

[vortex]

Avowed has that potential to become TV show on HBO like Fallout will.

 

[RepHope]

On one hand I can’t blame them for using the fantasy setting they already created. On the other the fantasy setting they created is so fucking boring and I think they need to seriously shake shit up if they want a success. Keeping Sawyer away makes me feel mixed, he doesn’t know shit about what made the old RPGs good, but he was responsible for their best Bethesda type game with New Vegas. Ah well, I’ll wait and see how the gameplay looks. That CGI trailer looked rough though, very bland and boring.

This is why Microsoft bought Obsidian, not to make more isometrics.

Yeah the next Wasteland is going to be a Fallout clone without a doubt.

Not anymore they aren't. Want to be convincingly edgy you should keep it honest.

It was a false promise. I expected an epic and interesting take on Fallout in Space, and instead got boring, generic do-over with subpar story and gameplay. Outer World tried to perfect an old formula, and failed. There was no "spark" in all of that game.
I gues this is why i liked Alpha Protocol more than Outer Worlds.

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

I completely forgot Outer Worlds even existed.

 

[Perkel]

Well Outerworlds was their answer for Fallout 3
Awowed will be their answer for Oblivion.



just even more dumbed down that betsheda downdown shit

 

[Dishonoredbr]

Imagine actually paying any money to play Skyrim/any bethesda rpg

 

[Infinitron]

So, interesting question now is to what degree this game will be inspired by PoE's character system. Will it be strictly class-based? That would be a way to distinguish it from The Elder Scrolls, but people might not like it.
