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

[AwesomeButton]

All the factions and orders felt very underdeveloped and one-dimensional in Deadfire.

Leave Britney alone! What a cuck lol

 

[Orange Clock]

Since I didn't have time to try this game out yet, how bad is the C&C for Steel Garrote enjoyers?

Well almost all quests in first zone have a “lawful”/Aedyrian solution(e.g. turning criminals to guards instead of helping them), also you can sometimes namedrop Inquisitor Lodwyn in conversations to scare the shit out of local populace. But expect fishfag, who’s forced on you, to complain all the time

At least they were more interesting rather than just good natives vs evil Aedyrans. I'm assuming that the pro-Aedyr option in this game is you being a moderate pro-Aedyran, but without being able to mirror the sentiments of the Steel Garrote and that inquisitor character who's prolly set up to be the main villain or some shit (and the siding with choice, if present at all, having no satisfying narrative buildup to it).

As for the "good" combat, in what sense? By what standards? Is the game an RPG? Because from what i've seen the Pillars mechanics have been stripped. Is the game a shooter?

Seeing roguey and infinitron in damage control coping on this thread is better than anything obsidian has made since 2010.

Yea, seriously. You'd expect this from infinitroon, but how much did obshitian/microshit pay rougay for this pathetic display?

"I want Feargus and Parker fired."
"How much are they paying you?!"

 

[Zibniyat]

the art style is appalling with all those rainbow colors

We know you only like Dark Souls palette of black, gray and a bit of white. Anything other than those 3 is too much for you. Best if they're like Fallout New Vegas, with yellow-brown piss filter everywhere.​

 

[Lyric Suite]

Bro i have yet to play New Vegas because every time i see the visuals i feel the bile coming up my throat.

But this rainbow "faggot" coded, candy pastel looking shit is hardly an improvement.

Except it's miss Patel who is responsible for the awful writing and terribad design in avowed.

Can't speak for Lycra Suit, but somehow Elden Ring managed to be literally as pretty as a painting, and extremely colorful, without looking like clown vomit.

Those two aren't the ones who made Awoked into the WOKE TRASH that it is, and you know it.

Who is this Patel person? Been out of the loop with Obsidian personnel since forever.

Of course he knows it. That's why he wants them fired. This dude pretends he is not a liberal and thinks no one figured him out lol. Rogay is a massive faggot and liar. None of your tricks function any longer. You are like a Wizard whose spells don't work anymore

Who is this Patel person? Been out of the loop with Obsidian personnel since forever.

White girl who married a street shitter (he wanted a green card, she wanted her resume at the top of the pile), wrote on Pillars 1 and 2, failed upward into directing because this game was a clown show and the original director got removed.

We don't know her, she is probably a smart or a good person but she is not a good video game writer, that's all. Roguey

Who hired her? Who put her in charge? Who was responsible for the first two botched attempts at Avowed that resulted in this third iteration? Who is well-known to meddle with the creative aspects of Obsidian's projects to suit his taste?

Diversity hire with poor experience that got promoted to director

 

[Morgoth]

Define fine, because everything i've seen of the game is retarded slop. The writing is retarded, the game play is mid, the art style is appalling with all those rainbow colors that have fuck all to do with the original Pillars vibe.

What is fine exactly?

 

[Beans00]

Obsidian should watch that video for advice on how to find funding for their next failure.


They better hope outer worlds 2 doesnt bomb lol.

Patel is what you are left with in a company after the competent people have left, but before the company has shut down.

 

[Roguey]

Sadly we have the Egghead to blame for this.

But before you think I’m being overly magnanimous, Eric absolutely drove away a lot of talented writers (esp. John Gonzalez – Shadow over Mordor, Horizon Zero Dawn), although John likely wouldn’t ever admit to the fact that Eric hated him; also, we were forced to isolate Eric from John’s Lead Writer responsibilities (which was a failure on our part, but I wasn’t in charge of New Vegas, which had a lot of inner development conflicts across the board).

Even more after John left, we actually changed our hiring procedure to cater to Eric on Eternity, since we knew if he didn’t approve of a writer, you might as well set a torch any writer that worked with him.

The lore isn't over:

Lesson 4: Metaphysics

Metaphysics shape the world of Eora through the power of souls, divine influence, and animancy—the study and manipulation of the soul.

In Avowed, your envoy uncovers ancient mysteries, soul-bound relics, and eldritch forces that challenge the very fabric of existence in the Living Lands.

Welp this game is a giant flop. RIP Obsisian!

In other news it looks like the Japanese have released another masterpiece...

Thank God for them or the RPG genre would be doomed.

That's not what metaphysics is lol.
