Eternity Avowed - Obsidian's first person action-RPG in the Pillars of Eternity setting - coming November 12th(?)

[NaturallyCarnivorousSheep]

Deadfire had bad writing but the character building and combat are superb, too bad this game throws all of this out of the window!

[fantadomat]

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

 

[Dishonoredbr]

Obsdian still exist? Shame

 

[Poseidon00]

Need more games like Deadfire and The Outer Worlds.

At least Deadfire had satisfying build autism, I actually enjoyed some segments of that.

Outer Worlds was so insufferably bland by the time I met Parvati I had absolutely had enough, I quite playing the game seriously, and just attacked anything and everything I saw. I still got bored of it within the hour.

I enjoyed The Outer Worlds (TOW) because almost every quest has non-lethal solutions. In any other RPG, the same scenario would likely present binary choices about who you'd kill. From what I remember, there are only one or two exceptions in TOW. Additionally, the level design is good, offering you the option to sneak past enemies, which is useful when you don't need to kill them for xp farming. I personally think combat should reward the least amount of XP, so that quests have a bigger impact on character progression.

Combat is definitely not the game's strong suit, and build variety is also weak (and picking perks like it's a button instead naming them to make them unique definitely does not help). It's understandable that people expecting a game like New Vegas might be disappointed, since TOW is essentially Arcanum with First person combat.

That being said, the foundation is good and they can easily make better game for the sequel. It needs refinement.

Arcanum already has guns, and it's 100x better than The Outer Slop.

 

[PunchYouInTheFace]

Arcanum already has guns

Holy shit. How did I missed that.

You went the Harm-spam way and never looked back

Sneaking in The Outer Worlds is very good, but you know what's even better? Backstabbing and then murdering every enemy in melee combat. Works against all types of enemies.*

* = All enemies except Primals.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

I wouldn't say TOW builds are necessarily bad, the character system itself is pretty solid. It's just that even on Supernova the game is way too easy to bother with minmaxing. You can max whatever and it's gonna work good enough.

 

[DeepOcean]

Can't wait for juvenile californian women trying to write aping Marvel with those quirky and "oh so funny" interactions and half of the NPC cast being troons telling their unique snowflake stories.

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).

I do not know. Pellagina was considered male in her culture.

But I'm glad Swen single-handedly normalized heterosexual sex again.

 

[Infinitron]

Better, Codex?

 

[Bendu]

Still no release date.

 

[frajaq]

Looks better than the early stuff they showed this year

 

[Quillon]

still looks like a last gen gaym that is not impressive in anyway that microsoft is probably ashamed to have it in its show

 

[mediocrepoet]

Avoid.

 

[ropetight]

till looks like a last gen gaym that is not impressive in anyway that microsoft is probably ashamed to have it in its show

But surely it will shine with gameplay, writing and reactivity.

Avoid.

Avoided.

 

[Abu Antar]

Better, Codex?

Better than previous trailers, still bad.

When my first thought is that it at least looks better than the newest Dragon Age, you know the bar is set very low.

 

[Child of Malkav]

No TOW2 though. Not good. Would have been complete you know.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

Lord almighty, are they deliberately making awful trailers?

 

[processdaemon]

Better, Codex?

Better than the new DA trailer because they're at least confident enough in their game to take it seriously, but it still feels like they're in a mid-off with Bioware

 

[Herumor]

Still looks like (modded) Skyrim though.
