Eternity Avowed - Obsidian's first person action-RPG in the Pillars of Eternity setting

[Butter]

Nice detail that after you clear the gang in this district Aedyran troops actually move in

what settings are you playing on? this screenshot has that "unreal engine 4" look to it which makes me want to puke

It's too high contrast, and it's the mark of UE slop. That screenshot hurts my eyes if I look at it for more than 0.5 seconds.

I agree any next-level game will have to out-skyrim Skyrim. But that would take Pyramids of Giza levels of slavery.

I'm confused why anyone would think this.

Just a dead simple perusal of AAA:

>450 employees at Bethesda (full time, with health and dental and 401ks and Starfield is what they come up with)
More than 1000 for GTA V.
Over 5,000 for Cyberpunk.

So it's not terribly confusing why someone would come to that conclusion. I'm not saying its efficient. I'm just saying it's reality.

None of it matters anyway, this model will fall over and die right before our eyes (if it's not doing so already). My money is on the small teams, with talented people, singular vision, merit-based, probably a svengali or two and leveraging AI to the hilt. I haven't seen it yet, but I know it's coming.

Thanks for the tip, bro.

I know we have a lot of fun here but if you're a grown man and look at this screenshot and think that this might be a fun game to play, then you're simply a gay retard and have no business talking about rpgs. This is for girls aged 6 - 12.

I recommend you wait until they put some patches in this game, its rough

I liked this graffiti of the locals butthurt about Aedyr coming in and forcing them to live in the favelas

there's a lot of neat little references to past Pillars of Eternity games, a lot of them obvious but some of them small

game is just undercooked, not looking good for Outer Worlds 2

The center guy looks like he's getting a blowjob.

This is how I sleep knowing Avowed will sink financially (it's a peaceful feeling)

Crispy skips actual great RPGs like Dragon's Dogma 2 and Elden Ring so he can fawn over homosexual DEI propaganda like this crap. What a tard.

I guess I'm not allowed to enjoy my current playthrough of Swordflight then?

WOW really? A game that is set in the same universe as other 2, has "neat little references" to previous games? That is truly ground braking. Obsidian has nailed it yet again.

The purple makes them want to be boys. They also all need to identify as a strong sassy black woman because everything else is toxic.

 

[Rieser]

Sad in a way all this. Old Obsidian would've obviously improved on Skyrim if they were to make their own version.

This crap, however, is considerably worse than Skyrim. Combat is better, vistas are better. Script is about as horroribly shit. Exploration is actually okay but worse than Skyrim.

Personally i hated Skyrim and I feel similarly about this. So mission successfully failed.

Ah the classic Obsidian Experience. At least they didn't lose one aspect of themselves.

[Poseidon00]

They made it clear that this game wasn't many things

Including "good" and "profitable"

 

[Tavernking]

We are looking at an AAA RPG with worse roleplaying mechanics than Fallout 1 which came out 28 years ago, and worse facial animations than VTMB which came out 21 years ago.

 

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

I finally remember what game this reminds me of: Kingdoms of Amalur. It's got that same cheap cartoony look, empty lifeless environments, and piss easy gameplay. Also extremely shallow. These games could almost be twins.

 

[Great Deceiver]

This is the most lifeless, soulless, corporate goyslop I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot. It's actually impressive, in a way.

 

[AetherVagrant]

Fuck Amalur was the SOOO dissapointing and I hate anything that reminds me of it, like this. It was structurally sound but incredibly boring and dull, even Diablo was more engaging.
I liked the story and lore of POE1
PO2 got better mechanics and side content but overall plot was boring, dropped it 3x after a few hours to play pathminder instead.
This looks to be as disappointing as Amalur, Starfield, Outer Worlds. Games where most components are well made but the Vision is boring barf that feels like grinding in f2p mmo games.

Those rolling simulators are not RPGs. They are just action games with some rpg elements.

Dude! I've watched several in-depth reviews of this game now. Skyrim's writing is high fucking art compared to this pile of shit. This is -slightly- above Veilguard level writing which is NO high praise. One rung above utter garbage isn't saying much. We don't know how good we had it sitting in the back of the wagon riding towards our execution with the Nords bros...
