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

[MajorMace]

Yes. How do incels call them ?

 

[AwesomeButton]

I bet MS regrets spending money on doublefine, inxile and obsidian, none of those have released anything with any lasting impact on the market, and look to be nothing more than the hallmark movies of gamepass

Another waste of resources that could have easily been averted if they had simply asked the Codex.

"they did change up the team and change up the creative directors, but the result was better pace of speed and a better vision. the first vertical slice under this new direction came a lot more quickly. direction of the game changed in a good way imo, which ill talk about some day"

Jez would fail the Say Something Critical about Obsidian Challenge.

"Yeah, so Chris Avellone was right... but he was still wrong!"

inXile is reportedly in very good shape, the game they're working on just requires a lot of time. Obsidian had a genuine hit with Grounded. Pentiment may be decent gamepass filler. They've just been screwing up royally with Avowed.

Your right about Grounded, forgot about it, seems like a sleeper hit. Haven't heard about inxile's project, do you have more info on it?

 

[Roguey]

Project leads are Jason Anderson and Chad Moore from Troika, Brother None as the narrative lead, first person RPG allegedly in a steampunk setting, the employees claim to be very happy with how things are going.

Brother None as narrative lead? Lost all interest in this... He was already insuferable while he frequented the codex and wasn't yet working for inxile, afterwards he became a complete douchebag.

[whydoibother]

Leather armor bracers.

 

[Gargaune]

Not enough blur, I can still tell one colour splotch from another.

 

[Alienman]

Training the tit grabbing spell.

 

[Maxwell's Demon]

Training the tit grabbing spell.

That would be way too based for Obsidian.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Antiwowed.

 

[cvv]

They've just been screwing up royally with Avowed.

Can't wade through the thread, any TLDR who was responsible for the screw up and what was the leadership shakeup all about?

I may be getting some times wrong, but back in January 2021 the project was so screwed up that Chris Parker was pulled off as project director and replaced with Carrie Patel, Bobby Null was pulled off as creative lead, and Dan Platt was replaced by Matt Hansen as art director. In April 2021 the lead writer Lucien Soulban quit and was replaced by Kate Dollarhyde. In May 2021 Jorge Salgado quit as lead area designer. In May 2022 Dollarhyde quit and was replaced by Robert Lo.

 

[Alienman]

Sound like a cursed project.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Sound like a cursed project.

That will be the sequel. "Avowed 2: Accursed"

 

[Desiderius]

Training the tit grabbing spell.

Witcher 4?

 

[toiletwino]

What a sad comedy of errors.

In the plus column: this thread's humor lifted my spirits enough to move on to the next potential jackpot/letdown.

 

[MajorMace]

Welcome home toilet bro.

 

[Terenty]

Obsidian getting shut down when?

 

[pickmeister]

What a gayass stupid name.
Should be called Disawoved. Fits even better considering it looks like vaporware with all the team changes.

 

[S.torch]

If I made that separation, it was because it's not true that women like those shitty games, only woke women, but since you're a fucking simp the first thing that came to your mind to say is that.

Brother None as narrative lead? Lost all interest in this... He was already insuferable while he frequented the codex and wasn't yet working for inxile, afterwards he became a complete douchebag.

I just remember the arrogance he displayed on NMA and here. Most other codex personalities at least came with some sort of trait, as retarded as that trait may be. BN was always just full of shit. As you correctly mention any pretension otherwise completely fell after he got the job at InXile.

Still will take a glance though. Personality doesn't have to correlate with one's body of work after all. Expectations are zero though.

BN had a trait. He was a white supremacist.

Though I understand that this is more of a mundane thing on the codex rather than a distinctive trait.

Does the codex even have white members? Everyone seems to be varying flavors of slav.
