Game News Obsidian's next big RPG is Avowed, a Skyrim-like set in the Pillars of Eternity universe

[Jedi Exile]

It does look more like Underworld: Ascendant than Skyrim. Which is... good. If it has water arrows, could be worth playing.

Somehow hacking in a turn-based mode after release won't save this one, either.

Eldritch portal travel has given you brain damage! Press Q to activate tactical time dilation!

D.W. Bradley of Dungeon Lords fame.

I know the game and had never actually seen it, searched some footage and it's no wonder that the "by David W. Bradley" in big words is missing.

Also I could see his style there:

It's not a dead OS it's a complete OS, hipster.

It's a 10 year old OS and they stopped supporting it in January of this year. It's like expecting games from 2005 to support Windows 95.

Alternatives to Windows 7:

• Enterprise LTSC edition of Windows 10 (it strips out the bloatware and adware found in the regular Win10)
• Windows 8.1 with Open Shell (the UI/UX is very similar to Win7, and it's still supported for the next 2.5 years)
• Linux (YMMV)

There's absolutely no reason to use Win7 anymore, you tech illiterates.

I hope one can romance fapmyrs.

 

[Eirinjas]

I hate it already.

 

[Crescent Hawk]

Its honestly a decent setting outside the nigger Italians and boring Shark people. But yeah no Outer Worlds was the limit for me.

Awood will be the ultimate game for the fratboys who want press x to teabag every NPC and the twitter trannies who don't play games and who want every character to have all genitalia.

If there aren't seperate teabag animations and mechanics for every combination of genitals, then they aren't providing the choices & consequences necessary to be called an RPG.

Zzzzz. I'd actually be excited about this if it were 2008-2012 era Obsidian doing an AAA game, but PoE's setting is inconceivably, unimaginably boring. I would not believe how bland it is if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Oblivion is a font of creativity and exoticism in comparison.

PoE's world is much more interesting in PoE1 but there seems to have been some kind of direction to make it "realistic" and that was a mistake. The shit in PoE1 could get wild. Spider people that are telepathic is cool. Their take on undead (start as vampire and degrade if you dont meet endlessly increasing requirements for essence) and others is cool.

Then I played PoE2 for like, 15 hours, and realized nothing interesting had happened in all that time. It's all bullshit. There's nothing left to me. I loved PoE 1. Now I'm empty. Please just eject me Infinitron it hurts so much to post on this site.

I will answer you one last time cause I don't want to waste my precious time to hipster retards like you. I don't give a fuck about security support from MS cause I have my own antivirus, second I don't give a fuck about DX12 cause the only game that uses it right now is Kojima's abomination. I can play anything on my PC with W7. Even CP2077 will support W7. So as I said earlier there's no rush to upgrade yet. I will upgrade when is absolutely necessary, maybe in 2 or 3 years from now. Will see. Alright Hipster?

I hope it doesn't use Denuvo.

We got it.

Good, if you don't give a fuck about these, then stop being butthurt about companies not giving a fuck about you.

Here are the Cyberpunk 2077 System Requirements (Minimum)

CPU: Intel i7-6700K
CPU SPEED: Info
RAM: 16 GB
OS: Windows 10 64-bit

Other new games like the Horizon Zero Dawn port and Wasteland 3 also require Win 10.

Edit: Ah, I see

Thanks to the introduction of DX12 support for Windows 7 SP1 that Microsoft introduced last year, the game will run on this system. We do, and will continue to, test Cyberpunk 2077 on Windows 7 in an attempt to iron out any edge-cases that might arise.

This is certainly end-of-the-line stuff though.

THey're still doing shit in this world? It was a lousy fantasy attempt.

Great, another triggered useless indie developer telling me when I'm allowed to be a butthurt or not. Please go back to your mother's basement and make your next abomination.

I think, the biggest buck of here, is that not even the rpgcodex gives a damn about this game. When pillars 2 was announced the thread in like 3 days had like 25 pages. This is literally nothing nobody cares

The effect of lost credibility is always a bit delayed. It's not felt in the first game that is mediocre, or even the sequel, but further down the line. Guess we're finally at that point with the Codex and Obsidian. Probably helps that Avellone made it clear to everyone here that Obsidian's management was a cartoon villain.

Yeah, but to be fair to said management: Despite everything they didn't even comment on the recent fake allegations against Avellone. Instead you had former co-workers, the people Avellone defended multiple times (not even talking about Sawyer) making snarky remarks.

How is J.Sawyer not working on the game? Did he left Obsidian?

He is working on Sawyer Elysium.
