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

Bigger in what aspect?

Witcher 3 is bigger than Skyrim in map size and quest number.

Witcher 3 quest number
There are 57 main quests
Also, if you added all the main quests, side quests, and quests in the expansion packs together, you’d have 405 quests to work through.

Skyrim quest number
There are 12 Main quests, and 18 radiant quests. Other than the infinite radiant quests, there are a total of 330 quests (including all dlc)

Nothing in witcher 3 is worth exploring. The world feels tiny and mmorpgish which is shit for open world games. Skellag or w.e was even worse especially with its diving for trash treasure content. Its a blunder of a game I enjoyed witcher 1 and 2 more. Any GTA game is a better sandbox world to explore.

This is true.

Regardless of the context of the discussion here.

The game does have quite a lot of good things in it. The level design is one of the best eva,the world is beautiful,don't know if it was out done till this day,the writing is top tier too. Only the combat is pretty generic action rpg stuff.

Skyrim is shit without adding sex mods, then it becomes one of the more functional sex games out there.

Witcher 3 isn't shit, but it's not really a RPG, but rather an action-adventure with RPG elements and lackluster combat.

Combat isn't the only problem Twitcher 3 has. Or even the biggest one. Main problems are the the shit tier itemization and level scaling.

Which are a combat thing. Tho they have improved it a lot with the patches. Recently i replayed it and was a improved a lot,even the combat. Tho i did use a mod for 100% exp from quests despite the level difference. I had really good time replaying it,especially the blood and wine dlc. Fuck that place looks amazing. I even went full authist with not using the fast travel in it .

Not the same guy if wiki is correct.

Also how did you find that? Checked all Obs employees? lmao

Of course it's not the same guy, you can take it for granted Lifecoach is shitposting.

 

[Wulfric Pinewood]

Any release date ? 2021? I love both PoE and just want to be back on Eora again.

 

[TemplarGR]

Skyrim was awesome. While it was not bigger than titles that were released MANY YEARS LATER, the point of Bethesda's CRPGs are not to just be big. After all, their biggest was Daggerfall, and let's be honest, it SUCKED in various ways compared to Skyrim. But if size is all that matters to you, and form doesn't matter, then yeah, i suppose Skyrim was lacking.

People who only care about size are the same people who think the ideal boobs are these:

[Drowed]

I guess that's how you justify your (e-)dick's size.

 

[Thonius]

No hype....

 

[Infinitron]

Hype for what? The trailer was an early tease - there may well be no further news about this game until E3 2021.

 

[Thonius]

Exactly! Hype for what?

 

[CrunchyHemorrhoids]

-POE setting
-First person
-Faggoty magic effects

So little known yet so much to hate already.

At least Eora is a fantasy setting which actually addresses the existence of gunpowder. Almost every other one either ignores it completely (Forgotten Realms); makes up a retarded reason for it not existing (A Song of Ice and Fire/Planetos), or tries to wave it away as "certain factions keep this knowledge secret" (The Witcher).

This is what i like about PoE, at least it tries to make sense, while other settings simply just add random things for the sake of adding them with no thought of how they fit in the world.

smartest people in fantasy settings tend to be magic users, magic users have little need to spend their time discovering things like gunpowder but instead spend their time studying the arcane

if anything, fantasy societies where being able to use magic is simply a result of studying instead of birthright/luck/etc., aren't biased enough against non-magic users.

Magic was extremely weak in the third age, its time almost over entirely. It would make sense then for wizards to turn their attention to things like gunpowder.
Contrast it to feats we know that happened in the first age and heroes such as Feanor and Fingolfin.

 

[Delterius]

maybe settings with anime levels of magic are bad

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Maybe so, but there is a perfectly valid reason for most fantasy settings with lots of magic to not have things like gunpowder.
