Some people do like RTwP

Bullshit

I do like RTWP, even though I enjoy proper turn-based combat (like in KOTOR, for example) more.

What are you gonna do, ignore me?

Nah, you're aren't boring enough for that.

 

[naossano]

Is there still hope for turn-based, or the evil wiped it too ?

 

[Minttunator]

Looks very interesting! I hope it's turn-based but I suppose I'll settle for RTwP (which is more likely) - as long as it's not a Diablo clone.

I don't think there is. It seems to be using PoE engine and they said on Steam page classic RPG combat, I think turn based would have been mention specifically. Classic means IE games era in this day and age.

Which means I'm more interesting than you Black! (he blocked me for posting his Safe Space tag )

I am pleased Obsidian are finally working on another RPG.

There were only so many disappointing announcements about card games that I could take.

Would be nice to know who the directors, producers and writers are.

 

[undecaf]

Meh. There might be something in the "evil won" concept, but overall this doesn't look or sound very interesting.

 

[an Administrator]

Announcement trailer doesn't show anything interesting.

 

[made]

Looks good enough for me. Really, anything top-down looks good enough for me - except maybe Vogel's games.

Hopefully it will be less boring than POE. I don't share Codex' obsession with Sawyer's obsession; POE wasn't bad, just tedious and boring.

 

[Haba]

Did you even play it?

Clearly you have been too busy touching yourself to pay any attention. Isn't there another PoE "review" you are supposed to be writing?

 

[Kalin]

Hey, Geneforge series looks way better than PoE. Plays better too I'm sure.

 

[Jack Dandy]

Hey, isn't this kind of theme something Avellone always wanted to work on? Shame it's only getting underway now.

Anyway, if it's RTwP you can count me out.

Shit, who snitched this time?

 

[Nines]

So it's another Unity crap. What a shame.

 

[Black]

What's important is this- if you decide to play as the henchman of Sauron, do you get to tastefully rape people? Because if you can't and/or kill kids, what is even the point?

 

[Xzylvador]

So it's like Adra... But not, because it's purple instead of green.
Completely original!


Anyhow:

Will wait for the inevitable DLC's, bazillion patches and release of the Ultimate Complete Enhanced Director's Edition Cut before considering it.

Hopefully it will be less boring than POE. I don't share Codex' obsession with Sawyer's obsession; POE wasn't bad, just tedious and boring.

It being tedious and boring pretty much IS Codex' obsession with PoE.
Sawyerite obsessive focus on balance and no wrong simply attributed to the boredom.

 

[Volrath]

Tim Cain worked on it for a year so far.

How does that make you feel?

Excidium II , this is relevant to your interests in tasteful rape.

Tyranny sounds like it will have a strong identity, and is an excellent opportunity to showcase Obsidian’s world-building talents. I do wonder how far they’ll go with this theme when faced by social media and modern gaming press though, considering that even a silly joke on par with playground ditties (Zippy and Bungle were in the jungle having lots of fun…) met with backlash. To be honest I'm somewhat jaded the story will just devolve into the traditional hero forms/joins resistance arc.
