Game News Josh Sawyer's long-awaited historical RPG is called Pentiment, coming next year

[ERYFKRAD]

Why is everybody and their mom trying some kind of obscure, experimental RPG when very few people get the traditional model right in the first place?

That's probably why.

 

[Crispy]

No MCA, count me out.

 

[Jaedar]

:taps head:
Can't have bad balance if you don't have combat.

 

[Infinitron]

Oh boy, have I a bad feeling.

Can't wait to play a 'historical' middle ages rpg made by sjws.

I wouldn't be surprised if there will be some female/trans knights, evil templars/crusaders, noble Muslims and a good amount of homosexuality.

To top it of it will be filled to the brim with todays sjw moral 'values' which will be shoved down your throat while playing the game.

I'm willing to bet you that this game will not have women, non-Europeans or uncloseted LGBTQs in anachronistic roles. Sawyer is serious about his history and it overrides his politics.

This looks like crayons on a coloring book + a watermark.

 

[CrunchyHemorrhoids]

And I thought they couldn't come up with a worse title than "Avowed".

 

[Russia is over. The end.]

on what is arguably the best Fallout game; New Vega

What the fuck.

This one is really simple. Fallout 1 is the best Fallout game, as per the massive vote here: https://rpgcodex.net/content.php?id=9453

Fallout 2 is the second best Fallout game.

There is a giant gap between the first two Fallouts and the so called "Fallout" New Vegas, which is even easy to see in the votes. It doesn't even come close to the heels.

"arguably the best". Get your mouth away from Josh's balls, you perverted idiot.

Hope that helps.

This really made me mad. Psychopaths trying to blatantly rewrite history to push their personal agenda, with zero regards for the good of society in preserving historical facts. I told you he's a sociopath, he proves it yet again. He's the type of guy who destroy cultural heritage for personal tastes like ISIS did in Palmyra.

"Arguably the best"... I'd expect this wording from some rpshit outlet. It's a bad sign that this is now the level of the rpgcodex editorial policy.

Pillars 3 died for this

You know I was quoting another dude, right?

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

Pillars 3 died for this

notices no one else gives a shit

Oh, um... oh no! How awful!

I see you're a Scion of Banalce.

 

[Lacrymas]

Dialogue-heavy RPG from nu-Obsidian? Yikes.

How would I know -- it read like the kind of shilling that's typical to exactly you, also the nice personal touch of "one of my favs, poe".

 

[Rincewind]

How would I know

Being perceptive and noticing little tell-tale signs such as indentation helps a lot.

 

[Lord of Riva]

Well the Image looks ass, other than that I will just keep an open mind.

I am expecting decline anyways so maybe I will be pleasantly surprised, who knows.

 

[Vladimuar]

Inquisitor with no combat? "The Name of the Rose" for gaymurs?

 

[Glad]

After Pillars of Eternity fiasco I have difficulties in believing something good can come out of anything they do.

Maybe Sawyer will do better with something he's truly passionate about than attempting to just copy paste Baldur's Gate nostalgia. And hey at least they can't do loredumps when it takes place in a world we're already familiar with... right?

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

I think I'll just re-watch Name of the Rose.

 

[Quillon]

Maybe Sawyer will do better with something he's truly passionate about than attempting to just copy paste Baldur's Gate nostalgia.

Yet somehow this(sawya's elysium) is NOT the game(sawya's darklands) he's been talking about wanting to make it for years so we don't really know if he is truly passionate about it

wowzie an experimental, text heavy Obsidian RPG! experimental twitter message from Josh in a few years:

"Dear public, let me address the room's elephant, concerning the negative sentiment about my latest project 'Pentiment'. I admit this game is akin to a pile of excrement but I assure you that my intent was not malevolent. It was foolish to think that tagging it "experimental" would be relevant in tampering the RPG codex' temperament. None of my games turn out to be excellent which sadly means I've become totally irrelevant. If only Chris was here to help out with development, I would not have to write down my testament ." -Love, Josh

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

A genderqueer African-American is found stabbed in an alley, and the players take control of sassy transsexual detective who is tasked with bringing the perpetrators to justice. All the clues point to a bigger conspiracy led by a blonde villain wearing a red tie.. Oh and everybody is using swords so it's totally medieval and historical and not related to current events at all.

Yeah?

Then why does the first art asset depicting an european king suspiciously look like a negro/arab?

Because he's not European, he's Prester John: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prester_John
