    The writing is really that bad in Pillars?
    Someone gifted it to me a year or so ago but I have not touched it, mind being in somewhat different places these days.

    The writing in PoE1 is fine (Not great, not awful). The plotting sucks, and the overall narrative is fundamentally flawed and (perhaps more unforgivably) kind of boring. I haven’t played much of Deadfire, but what little I’ve played does seem overall more cohesive, probably because the blandness is consistent with no flashes of brilliance to call attention to the blandness.

    Agree. I think the fact it had missteps pretty early on helped cushion ones later on because you were expecting it, but it would have been nice if it had improved.

    Was that taken over by another developer? (I haven't played Bayonetta.) In Avowed, while still employed in the same studio with a lot of control over design, it does seem a vote of no confidence in Sawyer bowing out and giving up on where Avowed goes... but that could be a good thing, story-wise, even if the trailer was pretty crappy. I would probably be less excited if Sawyer was heading up Avowed, but I don't know if having it headed up by someone unknown helps it, either (especially since it's not even using the "Pillars" name - at least Bayonetta had that).

    Obsidian never had good writting. They just had "edgy" characters and situations and thus were more memorable in a time when the competition was lacking in the writing department.

    Today even Ubisoft has better writting in Assassin Creed.

    What "edgy" characters?

    Note I'm not defending them, I'm only curious. If they never had good writing, then their current writers must be below-basement level by that criteria.

    He blurred the image out, but it appears to be something from a Medieval tapestry. Historical RPG confirmed.
