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

[Lord_Potato]

I mean, i was expecting Obsidian learning from TOW shitty leveling system. Not double down.

Miss him yet?

What is he working on now? Pentiment 2?

 

[Roguey]

? Was anybody expecting something non-popamole?

This game might tell an interesting story in the Eora setting and give you pretty environments to explore. It's not going to be good for anything else.

So many nu-dexers are so over C&C, but I'm glad you can get that quest item without a fight. If this were a Bioware game, they'd absolutely force you to fight her.

You've forgotten what Orlans are, huh?

She's less furry than they are in Pillars and the perspective change is throwing me off.

 

[GrainWetski]

Haha horny baiting and that FUCKING consoleshit UI. You know exactly who the target audience is.

Retards.

BG3 players, so retards indeed.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

That's supposed be an orlan? Albino hairless one maybe.

SAWYER, SAVE AWOVED FROM BEING A POPAMOLE AND MY LIFE IS YOURS.

 

[Ibn Sina]

It certainly looks better than tranny age.

 

[Herumor]

Title needs changing, game has third person as well, as per that deep dive.

 

[Justinian]

Avowed bethesda-esque skill trees:

Bethesda skill trees aren't this simple and dumbed down.

Spoiler

Clearly a Hearth Orlan. https://pillarsofeternity.fandom.com/wiki/Hearth_orlan

 

[TwoEdge]

The weird thing for me here is how everything clashes. The player strikes with a sword, but the sound effects and enemy feedback make it seem they're bludgeoning with a mace, or at least punching with the sword's guard. The mushrooms and protrusions give me the impression the game takes place underwater, but that's clearly not the case. The colors fail to complement each other in every instance. It's as if two very different people designed the game completely oblivious from one another and then a third one mashed everything together. It's disconcerting.

 

[Drakortha]

It's the exact same skill tree from TOW

 

[jackofshadows]

This game might tell an interesting story

After ToW are you for real? The story was awful there. And the writers are the same.

Vanilla fantasy is harder to fuck up than 'high concept' SF stuff.

 

[RepHope]

Third person might help sales, there’s a certain diehard casual who hates FPP, kudos to whichever MS suit whipped Patel and her merry band of retards into implementing that feature.

That's assuming they're learned from failure of previous two games to finally make a vanilla fantasy, and not another season of Desperate Housewives of Eora bickering to each other.

Ok come on codex how on earth did you fail to point out pastel blue pink white colour palette on the orlan girl? I feel embarrassed for you now.

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

There is honestly ironically such a fucking around hiking simulator game draught right now because Bethesda ceased to make them that I might play this.

Aside from Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 releasing before the end of the year and at least one non-RPG, hiking simulator Dragon's Dogma 2 released in March:

The Weeaboo above the Sea of Fog II

 

[Tyranicon]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but this game is uglier than Dragon Age 4.

How is that possible? This is a crime against my eyeballs.

 

[frajaq]

So only 4 classes or am i missing something

 

[lukaszek]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but this game is uglier than Dragon Age 4.

just looked at both and im not seeing this? care to provide examples? Just saw 3 in a row: avowed, dragon age 4 and doom. Out of them all actually doom disappointed me most: shield and dragon riding?

Just my opinion of course, but the actual in-game footage of DA 4 looks much better than the garish, hyper-cartoony look of Avowed.

It's like comparing Valorant to knockoff Valorant made in Unity.

 

[jungl]

Visually avowed looks nice like a charming disney cartoon. The stats and mechanics reveal is a disappointment. Game either has a amazing story or is a failure.

This isn't a comedic game about how corporations are bad.

Instead it's a somewhat-more serious game about how colonialism and imperialism are bad.

Assuming that they maintain the style of Deadfire when tackling such topics, then it'll be leagues ahead of TOW's nonsense.
