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

Saw a review detailing one of the companion quests for the fish guy in which you help him realize he’s a gay fish or something along those lines.

They have a very specific target audience.

Heard a line that apparently NPCs don't move at all. They just stand in place, making it feel like a dead world. I don't mind this in general, but as a third-person game, an open-worldish kind of game, it feels pretty lame.

This is one thing I just cannot stand in games anymore. It was fine in Morrowind but that was 20 fucking years ago, and here we are doing the same old shit

Stick to Bethesda games, because NPC schedules have never been important to the Black Isle/Bioware/Troika/Obsidian school of design. They focus on narrative, not "living" worlds.

Bullshit, in Arcanum, there are NPC schedules.

Any bug compilation yet?

Luke Stephens said the NDA doesnt let him show bugs or performance issues lmao.

 

[Tyranicon]

They actually put a slay queen meme in the cheevos.

Brain-rotmaxxed as the kids would say.

Arcanum tried to be all things to everyone and suffered for it. They didn't bother with ToEE and Bloodlines.

LMAO WTH

Reviews show average game which means it's probably bad. Looks like an Outer Worlds type game which was a let down.

Everyone saw it coming. Not sure what they hoped to accomplish by hiding it for a few additional months to do nothing but miss any holiday window and continue to accrue expenses.

Saw a review detailing one of the companion quests for the fish guy in which you help him realize he’s a gay fish or something along those lines. Didn’t Outer Worlds have a similar quest?

Outer Worlds had an asexual lesbian and her quest is the player setting up a date with a girl she likes or something

Her name is Parvati which is also a name of the Hindu vagina goddess.

I suspect Zboj Lamignat is correct. Someone (probably from Microsoft because Obs haven't been self-aware for over a decade) saw that it's shit and it's not going to sell well even during the holidays, so they pushed it to February to make as small a splash as possible and be thrown into gamepass fodder.

 

[Dark Souls II]

THIS guy is the first thing you see upon starting the game??

This guy sold me molly at a warehouse rave in Prague in 2017

 

[mediocrepoet]

Not saying this will be good, TOW looked okay but was boring dog shit, but the visuals are better than complaints around here would suggest at least. I think the GamePass dip if at all seems to be the safest bet.

No but seriously, Shillman is retarded as usual, how do you not realize they are black italians and supposed to sound italian?

 

[Ivan]

yep, looks awful. some hilariously bad AI in some parts.

 

[Echo Mirage]

I kept expecting Gmanlives to say that Obsidian had made its own Oblivion. He even starts with an Oblivion joke but never just outright said it.

Jason Schreier believes Avowed could be the next Fallout NV, with a vast gap between the critical reception and player reception.

Which way?

Which gap?

[Tenebris]

And I thought Deadfire had a lot of that annoying quip dialogue. Who's the writer doing that garbage? and why does every fucking person seemingly speak like that. It's like watching a Marvel capeshit movie.

 

[Tehdagah]

LMAO WTH

He really complained about the lack of lockpicking puzzles to open chests lol

 

[Feyd Rautha]

LMAO WTH

There were almost only women and black characters shown.

 

[Turn_BASED]

nightmare blunt rotation

Which gap?

The gap in the only review aggregator that matters

 

[Necrensha]

That final boss is eerily similar to the crazy woman from Dragon Age 2.
