"Flipped one detail, can't call us a rip-off. " - Feargus UrquhartIn Avowed the plague is in the colony, not in the imperial homeland.
Funny, but personally I'm more disturbed by them reusing the plot hook of a plague from Pillars of Eternity. This one seems more generic in nature at first glance (oooh magical tumors).
a proper skyrim rip off would have a sidequest for every god a la daedric princes but they were forced to downsize to galawain being the main plotwrong. there's an engwithan machine that makes the living lands go and you're now the herald of galawain because the cycle of reincarnation is breaking down there first.Avowed plot: some shit is happening in The Living Lands. The PC character finds out that this is related to some problem with the Maegfolc and the gods, after the events that happened in PoE1 and 2. Probably some shit god as Rymrgand. The PC character resolves the issue, but at the end some other thing happened due to it. The end.
You heard it here first.
Third time is the charm for making a main plot about gods that nobody cares about.
This comparison definitely does highlight how lacking Obsidian is in the art department, Greedfall completely dumpsters this game visually, despite having probably a fraction of the budget/manpower.

Inb4 the trailer protagonist is a Black Aedyrian. Infinitron called it.It looks like an ESO screenshot.
Another Imitative product, like I said.Oh my god it wasn't until I shitposted about Greedfall that I realized that this game is a total rip-off of Greedfall.
Greedfall:
An island paradise has been discovered by colonial forces from several distinct nations from fictional lands, but with magic and monsters. Players assume the role of De Sardet, a neutral Human who recently arrived at the island, able to ally with either the natives who inhabit the land, or any of the foreign nations competing to conquer and colonize the "new" land, while also trying to find a cure to a mysterious illness that plagues De Sardet and their homeland.
Avowed:
As an envoy of the kingdom of Aedyr, you are sent to the far-off island known as the Living Lands to investigate rumors of a spreading plague. The island itself is full of mysteries and secrets, danger and adventure, and choices and consequences. The Living Lands is a place that feels foreign at all times yet somewhat intrinsic to you as it feels the island itself is calling out to you for help. Explore an island home to many different environments and landscapes, each with their own unique ecosystem.
Obsidiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.
Watch it be worse too.
It also arguably doubles for Ondra thoWhite Marsh -> Abydon
the final option is allah, which the storm humans worshipThey are running out of options...
don't tell himWhat a fucking trainwreck of a presentation. This looks absolutely terrible in all regards and is generating zero hype... This screenshot is straight out of Greedfall.

wouldn't have gotten through the japanese version of symphony of the night without those magazines. still don't know why the japanese version was the only one available in the grand piracy bazaars. incidentally i miss those.i remember when magazines already had walkthroughs before releaseRemember when games got released without much buildup, maybe a preview?
Those were better days for gaming.
When we were younger, and things sucked less.
Nothing wrong with that, at least by that point you could form your own opinion. Nowadays, before it gets to the demo or beta stage, you pretty much know all you never wanted to know, just reading and listening critically.No I remember reading magazines and playing lots of demos.Remember when games got released without much buildup, maybe a preview?

I placed in the top 30 (out of over 6000 entries) in the annual screenwriting competition held by the organization that awards Oscars for excellence in film. I even received a phone call from the guy who produced Network(!), telling me how beautiful he thought my writing was.
