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

[user]

If it was up to me, I'd give most of them to AW2, which is a great, highly original, piece of art, unlike the generic slop that BG3 is (still an ok game, that "compensates" its flaws with its production cost/quality).

BG3 derangement syndrome continues

Yeah ok, perhaps I was too harsh, but one of the main selling points for me in CRPGS is replayability (coming from both builds and C&C) and, well, I was very disappointed in that regard. Its difficulty probably played a role in this.

What game do you think did these things right

 

[NaturallyCarnivorousSheep]

Oh I just looked your fave rpg is planeshit borement no point in having a discussion with a storyfaggot, you don't talk to them you cut their heads off.

 

[Roguey]

in what regard
explain yourself

Cute, funny, charming. I like orlans, the first character I played as was an orlan https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/e...an_b_lg.png/revision/latest?cb=20150325183047

You should become more inclusive friend.

But I am not a storyfaggot actually, I am mostly a mechanicsfaggot. Pathfinder rules adaptation is light years more replayable than whatever castrated DND edition BG3 has, in my humblest opinion.

Pathfinder is bloat. 5E lacks shit but it removes bloat.

Larian were never into build-porn subgenre of RPGs, so not sure why you'd expect BG3 to be different.

I wouldn't put my hopes into this being a Skyrim clone. For all intents and purposes, this is TOW in its open world design rather than FNV.

None of which are good

Speaking of mechanics and you know, gameplay, have they revealed if Avowed runs on the pillars system, TOW system, some kind of watered down ARPG deal or what?

Kind of weird that we're approaching August already for a Fall launch and we haven't seen even a screenshot of skill trees or anything.

 

[luj1]

Looks like a very fleshed out personality:
1. Great in bedroom
2. Has a lover who is skilled with his hands
3. Big magic

The cringe is very strong in this one.

I think she's neat.

of course you do, you are a literal tranny + Obsidian/Soyer shill

 

[Drakortha]

Why do millennials and zoomers constantly write characters that tell you about their sex lives two seconds after meeting them?

This is what we get for shilling Larian & BG3.

Expect characters in RPG's to tell you about their sex lives, forever.

AFAIK there's 3 skills trees and you can mix them up, that's about it.

There are screenshots in this very thread.

Avowed bethesda-esque skill trees:

2024 hot take: Tim Cain ruined RPGs by introducing perks. Now all our RPGs are just basic bitch action games with +damage perks slapped on.

But this stuff isn't important. They're not going for the powerbuilder audience, you think Patel would be enthused about that kind of thing? It's all about what you can do and the narrative.

Well by the looks of it, higher skill tiers open up with levels, regardless of rank. So perhaps you can pick freely from all the trees, which would be quite build-porny.

Powerbuilder? They are not going for the builder audience you mean.
Only way this can be saved is if the majority of the nodes unlock mechanics-enabling stuff, and not just raise damage like in this example...

Narrative design is an Tumblrified fleid.

 

[santino27]

They've written a 263-page book with 22 ratings on Amazon. Clearly, they know what they're talking about.

LMAO ROFL

Me replaying Mathfinder: Path of the Excel when I "replay" the game for "replayability" for the 69 times playing as Blue Eyes White Dragon Class with 6"11 cock prestige class that have 0 unique dialogue options - trying to hit literal ant on my floor with 420 AC (small retards have bonus Dex you see) and missed.

No matter how many class your game has, it is worth nothing if you can't roleplay, if the only thing you can roleplay is -how- you conduct combat then stop claiming to be a cRPG, call it an isometric blobber or something.

Eh, you still get to roleplay to a certain degree with companion outcomes, mythic path choices and what not. Might not be amazing C&C, but it's serviceable.

on the mirror?

 

[PunchYouInTheFace]

mythic path choices

Yeah it's serviceable. My main gripes is that I know that there are good things, great things even in the game, but I have to get my balls and cock tortured to get there.

Pathfinder is already a bloated system, Owlcat doesn't need to make it even more bloated with their trash game design.
