I don't think the story will have anything to do with The Watcher, which is a very good thing. Each game should have a separate protagonist, with his/her own story - a lesson Owlcat Games have learned immediately, and I love them for that.

It's funny how I didn't know what Eora was even when I'm playing PoE2 for the 2nd time. :? But anyhow... I prefer it's on PoE world instead of a new generic one.

First person only? This sucks, I want to see my char. I liked the end of the trailer with the balrog and the cool spell.

When's the release date though
just in time to compete with the next TES game

Lol does anybody even know how far in development TES 6 is? Maybe they're finally at the point where they have the powerpoint for the press release for the teaser.
To be fair, Bethesda is typically quiet about their games until only a couple months before release.

Didn't Todd Howard flat out state that 2024 is the earliest possible release date?

The setting does have some potential, especially taking into account that it's the only Renaissance Fantasy setting where gunpowder weapons and their influence on warfare are taken properly into account. The idea behind the pantheon, though somewhat fedora tipping for my tastes, is also rather unique. Unfortunately, due to the fact that it's an original setting, the developers fell into the trap of over-exposing every element and idea behind said universe.

In other words - too much Martin, too little Tolkien. "A whisper can be more powerful than a shout" as a certain painter once said.

So, someone at Obsidian forums apparently "translated" the runes on the sword.

Not very surprising to say the least.
Made me laugh.

So some 3d artist switched to runic keyboard and wrote some boring shit.

Of course people "deciphered" it, and it's something boring. Nobody at Obshitian even thought about placing a real easter egg there.

Nicely said. I like PoE world I just don't retain the names, the lore for some reason. Maybe is because I'm over 30 and you absorb all that nerdy thing better when you are a teen :lol:. There's just no more space in the brain.
