FWIW, when I first looked at it, I was like: Oh sweet, there are eight roads!I'm not saying that's 1:1 the 3D world map, just that the game will have geometry like I described because I have no faith in Biowares level design.The cloth maps have never been a 1:1 game map. Quit being retarded.
inb4 Obsidian screws me and these things are basically 1:1 game maps
And yes, that map is probably just the in-game world map.
Freudian slip moment?
They are. It's one big soup of purple hued slop.
Hi.
It is a really nice throwback to the games of old with corners of the map being different altogether of snow, desert, fire, etc., that The Living Lands gives off that vibe with the little routes you can follow to get from one region to another just like this map example below. The Living Lands map also has a similar map style from the Sorcery! series you can play on Steam that recreates the books by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone very well.
Thanks,

This is what I'm talking about:
The individual zones won't be open, they will be defined paths to explore. Because consoles and console gamers get confused with wide open areas.
Might and Magic 9 era.
I'll take Sherry over Black Cat any day as far as gimmick accounts go.
Nothing against her, its just feels so weird to what you are used to read in Codex usually. So that made me wonder if is a supreme shitposter or not.
Doesn't work for a videogame. Look at how Dragon Quest maps are.
Literally European.
Wait so this is just a bot? Lmao

Hi.
Which is wonderful to read, as so many here on the Codex look back at the old favorite RPGs and reflect on their enjoyment from playing them, and here we have a game in 2025 using the very same map design tactics those older 80-style games used. Mountains that block your ability to move, defined paths you are made to explore from one region to the next, opening up to a vast area you can explore once you arrive to that new region. Avowed does meet those expectations, especially from the Might and Magic era - rather, blobber games as they're referenced - with a more graphical and updated engine revision made ever-so popular by Larian Studios. It is what everyone loves remembering, but yet complain about when it resurfaces in new games.
It's Boomer Baby, with a new fashion twist. Those who complain about it, really aren't that old style gamer they think they are.
Thanks,
Sherry
And you say "unknown" when it's 100% Gaunt, the Donut Steel OC of Eothas, the only god allowed to matter in Pillars?
The donut got some mold on it.
There wasn't anywhere near enough buildup for the reveal to matter.
This has been pointed out thousands of times since the release of Pillars. I don't think it's retarded per se, just handled very heavy handedly, and those who still like the setting just don't care.
