Guys please just tell me, is this game gonna be good or not? mm'kay
If you liked Outer Worlds you will probably like this too

The Outer Worlds has Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky involved, they are not perfect but they have proven some level of competency. Without their involvement I somehow doubt Avowed will be as "good".

Means absolutely nothing, cause we know that Josh Sawyer got mind broken by the failure of PoE 2 and his involvement in Avowed is tenuous.

To think i'd miss Josh Sawyer. I tried twice to finish PoE because it's so boring but even the most self-indulgent tripe from an old dev is better than this nu-shit. PoE was boring but it wasn't slop.

Isn't it on record that Tim Cain completely fucking demolished Wildstar?

Even Tolkien wrote a strong female mage with Galadriel and a strong female fighter with Eowyn. Just do it without creating a Mary Sue...
Galadriel is a loyal wife and mother. Her magic is subtle like all magic in the LOTR and she destroys the walls of Dol Guldur in the epilogue. Eowyn married Faramir and became a healer, leaving behind her legacy of shieldmaiden of Rohan.

Please try to keep up with the times. Galadriel is a badass warrior and a tru grllllboss, haven't seen her husband for millenia, daughter not mentioned. Currently, she mostly thirsts for Sauron.

Fortunately now we have a much better, modernaudienced shieldmaiden of Rohan in Hera, who never married and until her last day stayed a warrior and very much a maiden too.

LoTR girlboss anime.

Tolkien's rolling in his grave so much we can probably hook him up to a generator.

poe was not so bad as long as you skip the cringe kickstarter patron dialogues
i thought the villain was cool
and visually it's one of the best looking nu-crpgs

btw it looks like steam remove the politics tags for this game; gaben NEEDS his donuts

Less woke than KCD2.
Companions talking about being gay and pronouns in your face are just as obnoxious as a black man talking about how his Islamic empire is superior to western civilization.
this takes place in a gay libtard fantasy land that is not trying to pretend to be historically accurate. as such, it is pure fiction. KCD2 is attempting to alter the perception of real history. that is more woke.

Eora as originally conceived by Josh Sawyer was rooted in a plausible history, the only concession to liberalism being sub-saharan-African-looking people with their Italian-inspired culture. Over time, midwits who could only think in terms of 21st century values took over (like they took over everything else)

Does or did Eora exist? yes or no.

Does or did 15th century Bohemia exist? yes or no.

What real history it tries to alter? What by the end of 15th century Ottoman Empire was the most powerful state in the world?

Edit. Nvm, saw the nigger in KCD2 thread, looks to me more like a caricature if anything; as such I have the other question: wtf? Aren’t Muslims(Turks/Persians/Arabs) gonna be upset that their cultures and nations are represented by some berber dindu nothin’?

Why is it alright to show mongolians(Tsushima) or Cumans(KCD) as nothing but a savages? Or present Arabs and Persians as Californian niggers? Europeans/Americans and their blatant racism I guess. Although whites aren’t represented better either.

Nobody gives a shit that some moron is wasting his money making Dustborn or similar products. It's just something to laugh at.
Except it’s not his money:
Red Thread Games[dustborn developer] received financial support from the Norwegian Film Institute from 2019 through 2024, totaling 15,600,000 NOK (approx. $1.5 million) under the scheme "development of games after artistic assessment" (Utvikling av spill etter kunstnerisk vurdering).[9][10] The game also received a grant of €150,000 from the EU's Creative Europe project, and 300,000 NOK from Viken Filmsenter.[11][12]

Same could be said of all similar products, they’re not wasting their money, they wasting YOUR money.
And that’s something to laugh at.
