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

[Konjad]

Skyrim is 13, going on 14, years old. Why not just make it an open-world game? It's easier now than it is has ever been. It would solve so many of Obsidian's problems. It's incredible to me that they miss the bus this poorly.

Considering their releases from the beginning to now, they are steadily growing from hero to zero.

lmao these are what TOW reviews shoulda been like if not for the bethesda factor

Apparently attributes cap at 15 and even if you use gear to push that higher, you get exactly zero benefits from that. When will these devs learn that the most fun part about their inane systems is breaking them?

Hi.

Infinitron, we need to split the thread now that the release day has arrived for the majority who purchased Avowed.
Or are we going to wait until the 18th?

Thanks,
Sherry

Bethesda is certainly the best at doing open world, but it's not that easy and easier to shoot yourself in the foot. You have to consider that an open world needs to be dynamic, meaning a lot of shit can (and does) break.

Too late

Devs arent educated chads anymore, but talentless crazy people obsessed with social politics

Hi.

well
Well
WELL

gosh. Here you are. Right up RPGCodex back alley. This has HEAVY SPOILERS.




Let's get it all out.

Thanks,

Don't care how the game ends up being, but just wanted to say that I've watched 18 minutes of this review and the guy is a douche waffle. He complaints about shit just because he is too stupid to understand it, and almost maliciously ignores all the lore. This is a waste of time hater review and probably shouldn't be used to form an opinion unless you are mentally retarded.

That said, "professional" journalists giving any game full 100-ratings is almost always a red flag nowadays, so...

 

[d1r]

Guess thats it for Obsidian as well.

 

[Dishonoredbr]

You know Obsidian made the most mediocre game ever known to mankind when even @Infinitron doesn't do his shilling on the front page.

Twice

 

[countrydoctor]

Apparently both Amauma and dwarf party members

Spoiler

are gay

, and the game has the same insufferable stench of "every female character is a girlboss that is always right, every male is a coward or idiot" as Deadfire.

 

[SayMyName]

This clown has become irrelevant after his Veilguard review

 

[Quillon]

looks like the illusion that "Obs are masters of writing" in mainstream is breaking. finally the truth outed

Safesidian Woketainment

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Lmao still missing that metacritic 85 after all these years

 

[Fedora Master]

I treat Obsidian fairly because I think they deserve respect for trying to make slightly smarter games than the competition, but they're in a bad place.

"Fairly"
"Smart"
Do you even read what you post?

That sentiment is 15 years outdated.

 

[Roguey]

"Every companion is gay" shouldn't come as any surprise at all after Tim Cain said he had to put his foot down on that in The Outer Worlds. This is what the writers want to do, only a Based Gay Man like Tim would feel confident enough to demand a stop to that without feeling like a homophobic bigot who needs to check his privilege or whatever.

So basically, with exception of main character all males are wimps, thieves, or homosexuals. "Fish nigger" has larger breasts than any female in the game. And anyone important with exception of main character is female.

So is it game so bad, it's awesome? And from that description it looks like the game is harem.

They write what they know and this is what all the guys are like in SoCal now.

So Infinitron Roguey are you going to buy and play this? Mayhaps't entertain us with screenshots and opinions on this masterpiece that you've shilled for? It's Obsidian! They can do no wrong! Please, we need to know more.

I don't buy most RPGs until a year after release when it's fully patched and at a deep discount. I'll give early support to an underdog here and there.

Bethesda made Skyrim because they made Oblivion and Morrowind first. Obsidian tried to make Skyrim and failed spectacularly. This is their Morrowind.

Laffeaux

 

[Morgoth]

Getting worse review scores than Veilguard?

Something's fishy here.

 

[Quillon]

even these guys are trashing it

"in mainstream"

 

[Fedora Master]

wow, how odd, the biggest shills are suddenly all about "not buying games on release".

 

[Larianshill]

So I take it, Avowed is a return to form?

 

[Dishonoredbr]

"in mainstream"

Even Mainstream thinks Outer world's writing was just bad.

 

[Lacrymas]

So, this turned out to be shit? How unexpected.
