Eternity Avowed - Obsidian's first person action-RPG in the Pillars of Eternity setting

The first Trump era was different. He was probably an aberration. That's why he was fought so freely, that's why he was so cautious, and that's why he lost. But now it appears in different conditions, in a different style.

Even if the president had the power to make entertainment companies produce content in line with their politics (they don't), do you really think Trump would give a shit?

Do you think Trump is going to lean on Embracer group to get rid of pronoun options and robust hair customizers because people are whining on forums he's never heard of? He doesn't give a shit dude.

It's not Trump, his being president is just a manifestation of the will of the oligarchs. And they remodel their companies in such a way that their nature changes over time, which imposes new rules on the market, etc. Woke has spread in the same way. It begins with an oligarch and ends with Tim's from a village in Montana economic choices .

>blight has infected a bunch of people and is about to spread to kill around 200 people more
>girl party members insist that you let this happen for the greater good
>destroying the building and preventing the blight's spread is the evil option
>you get lectured about it by your gurl party members

Sounds UK.

Has anyone here somewhat enjoyed the game? When I check online it seems like it's either woefully average or people really enjoy it.

 

[Old Hans]

What?? This is what orlans are supposed to look like?!

HAAANS!!!

Spoiler

this looks like a 1980's straight to VHS character design. It would be a comedy about an alien that crash lands in Orange County California, and gets found by a group of teenagers who are riding their BMX bikes around town. For some reason they decide the alien needs to dress up in human clothes and go to highschool, pretending to be a transfer student.

It makes perfect sense if you think of the setting people as Americans.

Wow they really nerfed this game from the Early Access version, the early game is way easier now

 

[Damned Registrations]

not even the horniest furry fags would find these orlans appealing.

Can confirm. The biggest furry porn site has 1 hit for Orlans, and it's not porn. It's also from 9 years ago. These things are apparently so repellent they broke rule 34. That thing looks like a furry Mr. Popo.

Actually it's worse. There's a meme face I'm thinking of but can't find, but it's basically those lips with the creepy stare that Orlan has on a black background without the rest of a face.

Well, I'm done. I don't know who first made the comparison, but it is apt, this is Amalur all over again. Kind of fun and weighty combat loop that sure as hell can't carry the momentum up to endgame, decent exploration that rewards careful scanning of surroundings with no meaningful rewards for it, and a mountain of mediocrity throughout. Forgettable NPCs, uninteresting questlines, a main plot I couldn't care less about. It's quite sad to see that there is clearly some talent in some areas, but either through leadership failures or dillution of said talent, nothing great ever emerges. I'm not sure what to make of current day Obsidian, but it's become milquetoast incarnate after their latest outings and completely out of my radar from now on.

Agreed, the RPG systems are really weak here, probably on par with the Outer Worlds. Obsidian's games can barely be categorized as such at this point.

Cumsisters... It's over.

Amalur also had the House of Ballads questline which I really liked despite pretty much all of the other quests being mediocre, haven't seen anyone praising any particularly outstanding quest chains in Avowed yet so that's something else Amalur has on Avowed (although to be balanced it is pretty early days so it could just be that it'll take a while for consensus around what parts are good to form).

I already heard that you can't go full Steel Garrote supporter in side content, so that's lame.

Do you see NAKED lvl of propaganda on display here? Do you think it's NOT there when you don't see it? It's always there, shameless propaganda aimed at those who know nothing about subject. Those who do know anything on given topic laugh at how retarded it is

You don't hate journalists enough. You think you do, but you don't

 

[The Wall]

Do you see giant poster that welcomes you as soon as you enter Steam? [AVOWED, NOW AVAILABLE]

KCD 2 didn't get one. Daddy Microsoft threw quite a bag full of shekels at marketing this turd. Increases severity of consequences once this is officially proclaimed as FLOP. Lesbians at Obsidian will soon start sucking cocks for living

 

[Skinwalker]

Every character in Planescape Torment was an ugly freak.

We should start hate campaigning about that game too when we're at it.

To be fair, modern rightwingers would 100% call Annah a tranny, if PST was released today.

She's a succubus, so that's technically true...

Oh, my bad, Annah is the tiefling. Fall-From-Grace is technically a tranny.

It has to be restated over and over: the decline has become so horrendous that even the slop of the past appears like masterpieces compared to the slop of today.

Yes exactly... you can see it in movies too... It's because people's standards have eroded

That's why in my opinion whoever utters "it's good for what it is", or similar, should be violently smacked in the stomach with a baseball bat

Bought this today over Steam and just played the first couple of hours (Just landed in Paradis).

Just from the tutorial area alone I can already say this is such a breath of fresh air to play, in a kinda quaint and old manner, compared to the modern bloated AAAA monstrosities that pass as CRPGs. It's like a cross between Dark Messiah and Pillars. You got the sleakness and the handcrafted levels from the heydays of gaming, combined with the depth and lore of Eora put into it by a seasoned CRPG developer. It's such a joy to play Avowed without ever feeling like it's a second job. Game is definitely a keeper.

 

[Skinwalker]

Pentiment being great and Pillars 2 being very good are the only reasons I have a shred of hope someone at Obsidian (coughJoshcough) can pull them into making good games.

Pantymint is boring, Pillows is terrible, and coughSoyerfart is the one who destroyed Obsidian's chances at being a good RPG studio.

 

[Sherry]

GOSH! I hope you're going to do that too

Ok, anything taken out of context here then?

Hi.

In relation to my own adventure, I can only verify one of the claims in that particular video, and it was correct. Based on that finding, I have no reason to believe the other remarks regarding the two other companions are incorrect, or the Ogre and little girl encounter (which I have yet to come across, but I will share that as well).

I do recall a conversation in party camp with Kai prior to arriving at Tama's Cabin, in which he does admit to being in love with Tama, but took that simply as a one-way street. This particular companion quest reveals to Kai that finding an identical carved whale in which he wears one around his own neck, that his love for Tama was being returned in kind, but he was a coward to see or admit Tama loved him too. I assume on this reveal they never did the BOOM-BOOM-BOOM, LET'S GO BACK TO MY ROOM, AND WE CAN DO IT ALL NIGHT, AND YOU CAN MAKE ME FEEL RIGHT. None of that until you're married anyhow, and Tama is dead so.

Now Kai has to think about this while we're on our adventure to search for a Adragon Heart.

Some screens in the spoiler for you and anyone else who is interested in the conversation.

The whispers in the morning. Of lovers sleeping tight

Sometimes when you post, it leads me to think you're retarded. Then you make a post like this and I remember it's all just bait.
