Game News Obsidian's next game is Tyranny, an isometric RPG set in a fantasy world where evil won

[ArchAngel]

WOW, THIS LOOKS SO... ordinary.
After the PoE dissapointment will prob. pirate, and if i enjoy it (which i seriously doubt right now) buy. Or just wait till it is for sale at like 5bucks.

Considering it is a Obsidian game, waiting at least 6 months so they fix all the bugs and make all the mechanics and gameplay changes they didn't think of before release is a good idea anyways. Why pay full price for a buggy unfinished game at release?

and the forces of evil, led by Kyros, the Overlord, have won

Kyros Christian, thecandyspookie, noted adorable bareback slag hypertwink and gay porn star? I knew he was making a comeback but this is some serious rebranding

seriously though did anyone want another fantaxy epiq quite so soon from the people who brought us the conlang bullshit that was PoE

This thread has serious potential to be the edgiest thread on the Codex in a long time. Basically 9 pages of

I HATE THIS GAME BEFORE I KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT!

NO, I HATE IT MORE KNOWING EVEN LESS!

Too many people confuse having high standards with behaving like an edgy teenager.

Did someone touch your Undertail in ways you didn't like?

The world where Josh Sawyer won and became the Dark Lord of Balance.

 

[Turtle-Zone 3000]

The dark lord Kyros will reward his loyal followers with gyros.

It could be worse, it could be called Black Gayzer and be about fighting Greed!

Tranny: you can free the world from the Evil Overlord and allow children to transition to their REAL gender. Also, the Overlord will be revealed to be your authoritarian dad all along!

POE was prettty "grimdark" if you ask me.

This game where you play as an SS officer

I thought the gimmick for this game was "Evil" and not "Lawful Good".

The world where judging from screenshots white cis het male wins is ebul for the new Obsidian at-least. I hope Tramp will win and make CRPGs great again.:mrpresident:

Sorry, but Trump will shut down crpgs, and the internet.

 

[Turtle-Zone 3000]

Sorry, but Trump will shut down crpgs, and the internet.

And funnel the rest of the cash into giant virtual reality malls offering the latest Call of Duty game.

 

[Irenaeus III]

Trump will shut down crpgs, and the internet.

Only the low energy ones. As for the internet, he will make trolling real (it's already great).

 

[Excidium II]

The premise is actually pretty cool. As someone already said, it's basically like Inquisitor but instead of being a paladin you'll be a death knight.

The only question is whether Obsidian has the talent to pull it off.

Or if they are willing to pull it off. The only way being evil can be interesting is to see how immoral it can get. Which in this game won't be very far.

What are they gonna go with? Genocide, ethnic cleansing? Stuff we do in every CRPG ever? Would need a writer that is good with subversion.

I was under the impression that SJWs love their grimdark nihilist fantasies? Anyone that was familiar with that Hugo award & Sad Pupies controvery from last few years could check descriptions and reviews for some of the novels that were written by particularly outspoken SJWs, it is almost like they are trying to "outbleak" each others.
So, I don't see how writers being (possibly) SJWs precludes them from writing the story filled with TRU GRIMDORK EVIL, exactly the opposite.

First it's a videogame not a novel, probably rated T too.

They are usually p. bad, since, you know, they are reality-disconnected emotionally stunted lunatics.

 

[Excidium II]

And since there's a hard limit on how depraved it can get because of the post above, the truly EVUL things will probably be various forms of intolerance. I'll be damned if there won't be something about sodomites or refugees.

 

[Irenaeus III]

Hyped for this.

No, the real question is: What Obsidian are we talking about? The Obsidian that delivered F:NV and MotB, or the Obsidian that delivered PoE filled with political correctness to the brim, and doesn't have CA, etc? Things have changed a lot in the last years. Saying that Obsidian did something good six or nine years ago with a completly different team is not reassuring.

PoE filled with political correctness? I don't think so, why do you say that? (apart from that backer incident)

There are SJW types in the game, but you can just murder them. It's your choice.

You cant side with the only one decent fellow in the game - Lord Harond. All your NPCs condemn him, not a single one supports him. You cannot bring back his fucktoy back to him, you're forced to betray your pledge to fellow noble. The game basically denies you the holy right to be Eoran Gilles de Rais.

 

[Irenaeus III]

Good, now go fetch some beer and get +1 reputation with your evil overlord.

Bring one to me too for +1 reputation with me.

But you can, after she gets corrupted, you send her back to Lord Harond.

After the encounter, speak with Aelys if she is still alive, and advise her on where she should go. Return to Lord Harond in Dyrford, and the quest will end.

• If Aelys is corrupted, and you lie about her condition, Harond will give you 1,200cp, the Amulet of Summer Solstice, and Major positive reputation with Dyrford Village. You may choose a diplomatic request or an aggressive request for more money, which will result in you getting 250cp more, and Extraordinary Positive reputation with Dyrford Village.

• If Aelys is corrupted, and you tell the truth about the ritual, Harond will give you nothing, but you will get Major Positive reputation with Dyrford Village. With 14 Might or Resolve, you may threaten Harond, who will instead give you 750cp. This also changes the reputation gain to Extraordinary positive with Dyrford Village, but Moderate Negative with Defiance Bay.

• If Aelys is dead or freed, Harond will be found on the second floor of the inn. When you report that she isn't coming back, Harond will give you 1,200cp to put the matter behind you, which will result in Major Positive Reputation with Dyrford Village. With 14 Might or Resolve, you can threaten him to increase the reward by 250cp, which changes the reputation to Extraordinary positive with Dyrford Village and Moderate Negative with Defiance Bay. You may also assassinate Harond at this point, which gives you 1200cp, and all the loot on his corpse, which has 250cp, an additional random amount of currency, and 2 Amulets of Summer Solstice. Kill him gives extraordinary positive reputation with Dyrford Village, and Major negative reputation with Defiance Bay.

If she stays corrupted, she will kill him. The only way to side with Lord is to cleanse her being cipher or having cipher in the party and return her, but you cant do that.

 

[Mustawd]

I for one can't wait for us to find out who the lead dev is, so the 'dex goes full 'sperg on his/her previous projects.

Yeah, seems like Fenstermaker's Folly or whoever screwed up here.

That information is contained in the OP if you look carefully.
