Eternity Avowed - Obsidian's first person action-RPG in the Pillars of Eternity setting - coming February 18th

[Lemming42]

Awful trailer but fuck it, this should be a laugh, if nothing else. Outer Worlds was very boring so hopes are set low.

I bet all of my money that this will be set ages before POE so they don't have to add flintlock guns.

Literally the only reason I'd get excited about a game set in the PoE universe is flintlock matchlock guns.

 

[Tacgnol]

Without mods it's already dead. And there won't be mods - just look at their space oblivion clone.

Yep, it'll probably be UE4 again, and despite Epic's claims, UE4 is not mod friendly out the box.

Besides, Microsoft probably consider modding bad for DLC sale prospects.

 

[Max Heap]

Finally worthy competition for Underworld Ascendant.

 

[undecaf]

Now they just need to get creative with the overall gameplay. I'm not all that certain a first person hack'n slash with some story will break any banks.

 

[Sacibengala]

Avoied? Yes I will, thanks for letting me know, Obsidian.

Obsidian's Skyrim clone set in the Pillars of Eternity setting

Every part of the thread title makes me cringe.

Most people probably didn't know jack shit about PoE's lore. So the question is, will they make the "gods are created by mortals" a a big mystery in the game again?

[Fedora Master]

SEE THAT WALL OF TEXT?
YOU CAN SKIP IT!

 

[Goldschmidt]

That is what happens when the codex turns their back to Pillars of Eternity

Well at least we can hope for something in the vein of might and magic (without level scaling).

 

[IDtenT]

Will Obsidian ever have a breakout success?

 

[Butter]

Are they doing the Arx Fatalis style magic? Or was that just a needlessly elaborate animation?

 

[Tenebris]

If they make it the fucking Watcher again I swear.

 

[Whipped Cream]

Can we all just agree to call this game Skyrim: New Vegas?

My first impression is that I worry that its going to be very generic. Personally when I play a new game I want it to give me a new experience that no game before has ever given me. Kingdom Come: Deliverance for instance scratched an itch that no game before has scratched for me. The Outer Worlds on the other hand, didn't, since it was basically Fallout: New Vegas in space, but smaller and with worse writing, so the game ended up just feeling "meh".

I've already played Skyrim. I'm not interested in playing a Skyrim-clone. What is it with this game that makes it unique and different from other games?

 

[Rieser]

Shit trailer. Hopefully a lot more shit than the game itself.

 

[Gargaune]

Well, that's one way to settle the RTwP vs. TB conundrum...

 

[Jackpot]

Well, I didn't see any pirate ships so at least I haven't projectile vomited yet.
This will almost certainly just be The Outer Worlds with swords, but hey, at least





anyway yeah interesting trailer.
anyway yeah that was a trailer for a videogame.

 

[The Great Deceiver]

Toned-down art-style, realistic equipment and firearms will be gone, because by Sawyer's estimation these killed Deadfire.



This'll be set decades before PoE, 99% sure.

 

[Perkel]

When kickstarter will launch ? There is no date ?

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

Heh, an FPS set in a world that traditionally had isometric RPGs based on it?

Kind of like Fallout 3.

...

Oh no.

 

[Tenebris]

I bet all of my money that this will be set ages before POE so they don't have to add flintlock guns.

They also won't have to hype up those "consequences" if it's not a sequel either.

 

[turkishronin]

Is it turn based

 

[Lokiamis]

I played The Outer Worlds. They're not tricking me again.
