Eternity Avowed Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Orange Clock]

$145AUD for a collectors edition tin with no disk.

Cover art expresses wonderfully what a pool of vomit the art style of the game is.

it's the most generic digital ArtStation bullshit you're used to seeing
it evokes nothing but a general sense of roteness, of a modern day digital artist going through the motions and drawing inspiration from a sea of similarly derivative gay shit
it strikes of something only a woman would approve

Oh, yeah that’s definitely the most generic cover art possible. Should’ve used a picture of a “cool” guy with slightly tilted figure facing the screen, or a main cast of characters doing some wacky expressions

 

[Konjad]

Lmao with ears like that they could function as a radar dish

They couldn't, because that fur in ears makes their size completely useless

Do you play the box art or the game?

 

[Orange Clock]

Do you play the box art or the game?

No. But I’m probably not gonna play Awoved either

Do you play the box art or the game?

Wouldn't you like to know?

Seeing the furry gremlins makes me wonder, what was the point of adding this race to the games?

Sawyer was convinced people wanted a halfling race.

The Codex begs to differ.

I like halflings and played an orlan in PoE

 

[Longes]

Calling races species. I'll specifically ask the devs what "species" they are.

Seriously?

Are you going to retcon your own 10-year-old setting to make it politically correct, HACKsidian?

I mean. They specifically call out that Eora's races can not interbreed, so definitionally they are in fact different species.

Unlike D&D where dragons, humans, elves, and orcs are the same species*, as evidenced by dragon-blooded sorcerers, half-elves, and half-orcs. This also means D&D dragons are mammals and should canonically have tits.

*Prior to 2023 when WotC banned miscegenation and retconned half-elves and half-orcs out of existence.

This is one of the main things that keeps me cautiously optimistic about Avowed. I hate open world games, I think they're too overblown and mostly go for a quantity over quality approach. So it was refreshing to know that Avowed would be doing smaller zones.

But the problem that I can see is the way their map is laid out. Did they take design cues from Larian? This kind of railroaded map design is such dogshit.

Ocarina of Time still did it better over 20 years ago. Smaller zones attached to a larger open zone (Hyrule fields). To me this is the perfect balance. Fuck that road shit.

The more important question is, will it have a day/night cycle or not

Your hatred for roads is even more bizarre than your fixation with day/night cycles. Did a car run you over or something?

You just don't get it..

Since you faggots want to bring up day/night cycles again - did you know Ocarina of Time had day/night cycles and at night the city closed it's gates and all the shops closed, and different monsters came out? The game is over 20 years old and does shit Larian can only dream about doing in their Kickstarter campaigns and they did it on a 64bit system. If only you realized how bad the decline is.

Hard to take you seriously after you go mental because a map has... roads. ROADS, one of the most important advancements in human history.

Yeah, it's difficult to take someone seriously when they criticize things and don't just consume the product. So will you buy Avowed, then?
