Dinosaurs used to be perceived to have lizard like skin based on the fact available at the time, but now we know they have feathers.

"Have"

It's still theirs you know, the birds just stole it.

Being compared to Skyrim isn't going to do them any favors in initial impressions.

It's their fault for teasing a first-person RPG to begin with. They should have gone with a third-person action RPG like Dragon Age. Nobody wants to play a small scale Skyrim without mods.

 

[damager]

I rather ask myself why these idiots not just one time make their audience happy and just make a fucking open world game

It’s like they have a humiliation fetish or something

They promise a BG clone and when people get hyped they do some other shit. Than they hype people up with Skyrim and do their own shit again nobody wants. Guess what you fuckers you are not some grand artists. Just make games people want to play

I get the impression they still haven't realized that. They think the Obsidian name protects them from how shit they are.

 

[damager]

They are like some edgy teenager that wants to be different for the sake of it and comes home with some fake piercing just to shock their parents.

 

[Nano]

You're really mad about this game not being a Skyrim clone, huh?

The idea that modern Obsidian can possibly make a Skyrim clone is nothing short of laughable, after how The Outer Worlds turned out. It is not Obsidian's fault that you want them to make something they never had the intention or ability to make from day one. This is why I laugh at the fools who want to see Obsidian make a Fallout game, as if they want to see a post apocalypse version of Avowed.

Nah honestly I just enjoy shitting on obsidian

If Obsidian does not have the ability to make a clone of a game that was already subpar 15 years ago, brother I don't know if they should continue making games at all

Maybe they could ask Microsoft if they can update the calculator app for windows 12 or something like that.

I thought they planned to make a Skyrim 2.0 and but realized mid-production these are too big shoes to fill and changed direction into fantasy TOW.

No idea why they couldn't use Creation Engine anyway now that Bethesda and Obsidian have the same daddy Bill G. But instead they went with UE5 which in typical UE fashion doesn't bode well with open-world games.

Avowed development began before Bethesda was acquired by Microsoft. Should they have just restarted from scratch with the Creation Engine? Maybe.

But it's not clear what the "rules" are for sharing IP and tech between different Xbox studios anyway. Considering how easy it is to create games with Bethesda's engine, you'd think some Xbox title using it would have been announced by now, but there's been nothing. Everybody's continuing to behave as if they're independent studios.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

They definitely should've restarted, Bethesda acquisition and Avowed announcement both happened in summer 2020 so they couldn't been that far along. It's not like it would step on Starfield'stoes since that's an entirely diferent genre.

 

[Wesp5]

What sense would it have made to get an Elder Scrolls clone from Obsidian when Bethesda will be working on a new Elder Scrolls themselves soon? Give Starfield competition? Also there are people like myself that prefer smaller hub based games over large open world games!

See you around bro. Don't hit your eye on the door knob, like the last time your boyfriend threw you down the stairs!

They put a lot of work into UE, starting over with a new engine would have been pretty miserable.

Additionally the deal with Bethesda wasn't finalized until early 2021, much too late.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

2021 to 25 is still plenty of time, and they were starting over with the project anyway when they changed direction.

Although like Infi says, we don't know the internal politics of it. But it would've avoided the situation where devs on a media tour instead of hyping the game have to focus on walking back expectations. Their marketing consists of "srsly game ain't that good but pls buy anyway", it's truly a clusterfuck.

 

[Beans00]

Should they have just restarted from scratch with the Creation Engine?

This game looks like shit, so yes.

 

[Artyoan]

If the game has okay-ish reviews I'll still try it on a sale. But the marketing as it stands is: This is Skyrim combat (which sucks) and no strength of the Elder Scrolls series is present here. Enjoy.

It's funny because Obsidian never made a genuinely good RPG apart from New Vegas.

 

[FreeKaner]

They need to not be complete pussies and make it so reloading firearms takes a long time.

 

[S.torch]

Because they can't. Competence crisis is real. Look at Bethesda for example, Starfield is way below the quality of their previous games.

If you said KotOR II, I would have agreed...
