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

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

You're telling me PoE isn't a crime against Gygax mechanically?

More than anything I'm telling you using its UI doesn't give me cancer.

 

[Fedora Master]

Jank has rarely been a deterrent for Dexers. NWN2 is in many regards but at least it uses a real ruleset.

 

[Spectacle]

Does Avowed has even a chance to be a greater game than Skyrim? If not, what's the point?

To make money of course.

 

[Delterius]

NWN2 is in many regards but at least it uses a real ruleset.

'NwN1+2 may have given me cancer, but it was originally based on flu medicine so its ok'

 

[Hammer Of The Heretics]

Ferret Baudoin worked on NWN2 and 16 years later, bam, got cancer and died. You can't be too careful.

Obsidian when you were dating:
Mask of the Betrayer, The Sith Lords, New Vegas

Obsidian now that you're married:
Deadfire, The Otter Worlds, Pentiment

Joke is on you. In the end I probablly like Deadfire more than anything Obsidian did before and after.

And that's not even because I like Deadfire THAT MUCH. It just has less that I dislike compared to their past output.
People keep raving about MoTB and New Vegas for their "amazing writing", for instance, but at the end of the day they are still based on NWN 2 and FO3, which I find simply ABOHRRENT both on a mechanical and and aesthetic level.

Yeah. I wouldn't be quite so critical about their earlier games, but I do strongly believe that WM & Deadfire are Obsidian's greatest accomplishments, by far.

 

[Fedora Master]

Poisoned praise.

We don't know anything about Avowed since it was rebooted several times and changing directors. Not even Roguey knows for sure.

Outer Wilds without guns.

avowed directors are like the british royal family. if enough of them quit then maybe roguey will get the job

 

[whydoibother]

Oh boy, I can't wait for December 2023 to come, so I can play this game!

 

[Infinitron]

Outer Wilds without guns.

I wonder if in Awoved the player could have an ascension to godhood and unlock celestial divine powers at high levels.

What about stealth? Would you want to play as asassin or thief?

As Garrett. Acceptable? Yes, yes it is.

 

[Immortal]

Delterius name a good RPG.

 

[Aphex81]

C'mon Phil, do it!

I also liked Deadfire. Probably the last Obsidian game I did. Wasn't a all time classic but it was a nice tribute to the games of the past. I do wonder how much better it would have been without Josh and his never ending balance nonsense. I still haven't tried Grounded though. Alpha Protocol was probably my favourite game of theirs. Fallout New Vegas was good but then so are most of the modern Fallout games modded. I can't say I have any interest in any future games they make. Like others have said Inxile's new game looks a lot more interesting and they seem to have a lot more talent.

 

[Delterius]

Huh, somebody on some website said Avowed will "most definitely" be featured at the Xbox Games Showcase on the 11th. This strikes me as pretty weird. I felt like this game vaped out into nothingness.

 

[NaturallyCarnivorousSheep]

All they'll show will be Feargus rolling his colossus body into the stage, burping and asking whemn is new snack truck coming because he ate all of them already.

At this point they are probably shitting whatever abomination brewed during the nightmare dev cycle to recoup losses.

 

[Nifft Batuff]

They just reskinned Outer Worlds with generic fantasy props.

 

[Perkel]

They just reskinned Outer Worlds with generic fantasy props.

Most realistic outcome. This time instead of fallout they will chase skyrim instead and in process they will fail on every front again.

 

[jungl]

I have no hopes for obsidian. Its going to look extremely generic and cookie cutter like outer worlds. I doubt they even have a good lookin orlan waifu that looks good as the baldurs gate 3 goblin waifu

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

Sawyer comes out on the stage, the big screen behind him shows the letter ü. Sawyer bows, doesn't elaborate on anything and leaves the stage.
