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

[Lurker King]

"This game where you play as an SS officer managing an extermination camp is CLEARLY a vector for SJW Cultural Marxist propaganda. I'm wise to your ways, purple-haired scum!"

It’s the way they present things. Only a leftist SJW fanatic would describe a world controlled by a illegitimate government as a victory of the forces of evil. Don't insult our intelligence with shitty writing.

 

[Lurker King]

I would play he-man RPG. It's a cool setting. My fourth birthday was he-man themed.

 

[CptMace]

I demand to see the stats, chizeled on authentic stone tablets.

Troll your way out of it. You're the one who came up with the real roman deal in the first place.

 

[DeepOcean]

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.

From VD's review:

Take the brothel quest, for example. You’re told that someone’s causing troubles. Since you don’t have anything better to do, you agree to look into it, which in this case means walking around until attacked by a trash mob. Then you enter every house until you trigger the right scripting event and talk to the leader who offers a peaceful solution, which seems out of place after being attacked on sight, but whatever. Turns out the leader is upset that the brothel increased the prices and now the commoners can’t get exotic ass and pussy.

Let it sink for a moment. A local faction is attacking people on sight because the prices in a brothel are too high for the common folk. Who writes this shit?

Now, you are not gonna find many quests like that, but you surely have a carttonish world view of things. The evil guys are carbon copy characters. They all look the same, talk the same.

Pussy rates inflation is a serious problem, shitlord!

Why not making some Adra sex dolls? Get the soul of a sheep on it and you will have the perfect woman.

 

[Thonius]

Well there is one more, the evil lord is not so evil. He was trying to fight something more sinister!! So youre not hero you jsut did shit. Pay 40 $ to proceed.

Now this is constructive reasoning, Obsidian should hire you to write quest solutions.

I would play he-man RPG. It's a cool setting. My fourth birthday was he-man themed.

It just looks cool as hell. Back when fantasy looked distinct.

Sounds like

 

[Lurker King]

Players interact with the population of the populace to inspire loyalty, disgust, or fear as they roam the world as an officer in Kyros’ forces, empowered to act as both judge and executioner.

Too much self-importance. Sounds like another game in which the player is a chosen one type.

 

[Irenaeus III]

I'm curious about this inspiring disgust thing... Will the player be able to eat and turn into a fat neckbeard fedora basement dweller striver PUA?

 

[Excidium II]

The world where the evil had won and there are no heroes like Chris Avellone or George Ziets

Not even anti-heroes like Josh.

You can fight those people, you don't have to take their side. It is especially pleasing that their leader begs for his life just before the killing blow.

Is Lord Raedric cartoonish? He is a great character!

He-Man or your birthday party?

 

[Jarpie]

Based on the screens, it looks like that the angle is way too low, PoE had the same problem so looks like Obsidian is not learning animal.

Also, I was the one arguing on the Obsidian forums that advising Harond's niece to go back to her uncle should not be considered an evil option but a rational one. But if you want to call my views cartoonish, fine.

Yeah, regarding funding, the more important question is who owns the IP?

Tyranny™ is a trademark of Paradox Interactive. All rights reserved.

it's on the official site.

 

[xxxCatholicKillahxxx]

Did someone make the joke about The Man/Tranny in the High Pillar already? No? Good. Yes? Insert gif of a man sitting through a windshield here.

The premise alone might make this the second Obsidian game coming to a 75%-85% sale near me.

Trademark isn't the same thing as IP.

I assume, however, that Paradox do own this IP, for the reason that Obsidian already have a fantasy IP of their own and they'd be better off negotiating for better royalties rather than trying to hold onto this one as well.

this much i know. but can someone own the rights to the trademark without also owning the ip?

 

[Crispy]

Please, Obsidian, place a limit on how many round rooms you put in this time. I just can't take it anymore...

 

[ROARRR]

The game will be great, because it has something in common with:
Fable
and
Dragon age origin
"Storytelling"

Spoiler

Yes, Star Control II is the most famous example of this.

What's wrong with round rooms, pussy?
