Avowed lore videos:

Eora is the original world created by Obsidian Entertainment for Pillars of Eternity and Avowed. To ease new players into this rich setting—or to provide returning players with a refresher—we present Lore of Eora, a five-part series designed to make exploring its ancient mysteries, vibrant histories, and captivating metaphysical properties accessible for all. Prepare to uncover the secrets of the Living Lands and immerse yourself in the world that awaits.

This is possibly the worst art direction I've seen, regardless of budget

did they fuck up their own lore in the first statement? each species don't have its own cultures and customs, where they live/are from designates their culture and customs, no?

Dumbed down for consoles! But it's probably just in the video, not the actual game.

 

[Old Hans]

something clearly got messed up w/ the linkings on the store page, everything is fixed now. your chuddie narrative about obsidian shutting things down has been exposed as nothing but FUD like the chicken little shits you are.

AVOWED

I suspect Obsidian is working with the Freemasons and the Black Magicians of Israel to hide Avowed from the steam library. I believe their plan is nothing less than to summon a demon

There is no actual choice. While it's possible to make your character look like a normal human or an elf, their actual race will be that of a Godlike and everyone will treat them as such. I'm not even sure if you can pick between the different subspecies, like Death or Avian.

 

[Tenebris]

You're apparently some mystery Godlike in this one. The reveal is probably going to be something stupid.

Calling races species. I'll specifically ask the devs what "species" they are.

No anything, no pain.

Witcher 4 devs: "Of course romances will be in there. It's a natural part of life!"

Seriously?

Are you going to retcon your own 10-year-old setting to make it politically correct, HACKsidian?

 

[Quillon]

they didn't get the memo about woke train's crashing or they don't care; its microsoft's problem if their games are successful or not, worse comes to worst owners already got their pay out years ago

I mean, WOTC did the same and theirs was much older.

I expect that from a mega-corporation, plus the older something is, the less likely it is to align with the values of the current day.

But this race and species stuff is incredibly dumb. No one was mad about this 10 years ago, hence why they did it. But some humanities major justifying their paycheck decided it was a big deal, so all the lemmings fell into place.

At the speed culture is changing nowadays 10 years is a very long time, especially for ultra progs like the people at Obsidian.

That was the reason for the vomit rating I gave. The video's content was just the finishing touch.

Seeing the furry gremlins makes me wonder, what was the point of adding this race to the games?

Sawyer was convinced people wanted a halfling race.

The Codex begs to differ.

Cover art expresses wonderfully what a pool of vomit the art style of the game is.
