It’s first person just like the Bethesda games. I am not expecting the party or class system to carry over which is a shame. Obsidian should have differentiated between TOW as their Bethesda type game and Avowed as their Bioware type game with a focus on the party and classes. But all they want to do is keep chasing New Vegas and Bethesda.Unless this is a party-based/Coop game, classes don't make much sense if there's only one playable character.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.
Toned-down art-style, realistic equipment and firearms will be gone, because by Sawyer's estimation these killed Deadfire.
So basically all the stuff that made Deadfire interesting (it was still meh because of a shit main story though) is going to be tossed out the window and we'll be left with generic fantasy game #5486713647 which is indistinguishable from all the other generic fantasy games on the market?
Wow super cool I'm so excited already can't wait to play yet another rehash of the same thing I've already played 30 times before.
I don't know about the art style and "realism" (it doesn't seem that radically different to me in the trailer) but assuming the game will have no firearms seems hasty. People might have found guns in their fantasy isometric game to be weird, but first person shooters are a popular genre. Putting in guns would be another way to set the game apart from The Elder Scrolls.
Isn't Skyrim the game that sold the most? If so, it is logical that every dev tries to emulate it. It is all about that fat juicy US dollar paper.
I'm pretty sure GTAV sold and sells a lot more than Skyrim.. That shit stills tops the sales chart to this day.
On the playstation yes. But on pc it is The Sims, Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, Half Life and Skyrim that rule the world.
The four horsemen of the gaming apocalypse: Shitty pixel art indie games, open world early access survival games, military shooters and first person hiking sims.Yet another medieval fantasy hiking simulator. Certainly not enough of those.

plus Avellone and GRRM. A man can dream.I hope the main writers are Katrin Dollarsomething and Megan Stark
History repeats itself. It's like a Fallout 3 move.
I find myself unable to actual parse the meaning of the trailer's voice over. It's like it was written by AI Dungeon 2. "Is an oath ... worth the weight ... of a crown?" What does that mean? Is it worth it to keep an oath if the consequence is that you'll becoming king?
"Now our oaths are lost, forsaken. And you must face the monsters our sins have born." Eh?
The faux Bridge of Khazad Dum also is kind of sad.
But we might get to see Obsidian sue WEG and force them to change the name of Unavowed 2, so there could be some goofiness before all is said and done.
It might have worked if they actually had an interesting setting. But nope. It's the generic middle of the road setting they made for Pillars. People told them twice now that the setting was boring but Fergus thought he knew better I guess.
