I really hope it's not gonna be like arx fatalis where you have to "paint the magical symbols" with the mouse. That was such an annoying mechanic. Otherwise, it's cool if they are expanding on the PoE campaign setting, hopefully one of the other kingdoms. I'm torn though because Obsidian has been showing a lot of wokeness, and as such should not be supported. The whole "tun heroes into queens and kings" sounds pretty sjw.

Everyone says "King and Queen" not "Queen and King".
That they cared enough to flip the order means an SJW is involved.

Going after Elder scrolls for sure. I have to say , pillars of eternity 2 is really good. I have been playing it beside Pathfinder kingmaker, and the latter doesn't hold a candle.... D&D/Pathfinder are always good., but I really enjoy the POe2 system, more interesting spells and such
Look forward to seeing this title for sure !

An article with some sobering details.

they repeatedly go on about how companions are very important. like outright the focus of the game almost.
Avowed reddit is also bitching about being too colorful, and the art design.

More excited for dragon dogma 2 cause of that. The only thing that would get me “hype” is the rpg elements and the combat; that would get me on the train again

the outer worlds is on gamepass. I paused my wrath of the righteous 2nd play to check it out.
Avowed seemed to have made some odd choices. copying TES combat first off. the combat is like the worst aspect of TES Games. why copy that? at the same time, doing so, puts expectations on people of what to expect from the game.. then you tell us its not an open world immersive sim. well after the teases. thats obviously just a huge mistake.
Personally I think its too early to bitch about the size. would you complain about the "size" of planescape, or majoras mask? or what about midgar in ff7? or ultima underworld Shrinking the game world to 1-3 locations, to have a much tighter, and intricate dynamics within the locations is a reasonable thing. The worrisome thing here is they aren't SAYING that. if they were talking about the city and the interpersonal relationships of the people and factions there over and over, I think there would be less complaining. poe2 was pretty heavy on faction dynamics, and companion relationships. but again, they aren't actually saying this... so.. maybe this isn't what they are doing..
the human/elf pc only seems like a terrible choice. I'll admit...99% of the time, I play humans or half elves, haha. teifling, or fearie, on occasion. so I can understand it, if they are hurting for cash, and really need to limit dialogue options... I'm willing to bet that 99% applies to the general pop, if you check out data. but man. what an opposite of a selling point.

They mentioned how the combat is “should be better” then TES better in a fps like is looks like “dark messiah of might and magic” cause of that kick animation in the trailer
what other races does the pillars of eternity have

pillars has 4 kinds of humans, 2 elves, orlans, which are furry halflings. 2 dwarves. 2 Aumaua, which are scaly human/fishmen. coastal Aumaua are blue fishmen, island aumaua are brown fishmen. godlikes are humans cursed/blessed at birth by specific gods of the world, to act as batteries/hosts. they have features that reflect the god in question.
Races
See also: Character Creation. The Race of a creature is a classification according to similar traits. A diverse medley of races populate Eora. Their separating characteristics are more apparent on a cultural level, with racial boundaries presenting neither roadblocks nor advantages in any given...

So stupid... parties/companions are the worst in first-person games, and then you make it the focus?
"As the game begins, your character arrives in a remote corner of the world of Eora called the Living Lands as an envoy of the Aedyr Empire, where you've been sent to investigate a mysterious plague. "Not everybody in the Living Lands is super thrilled to have an imperial presence in this far-flung land," she said. "So adventure ensues.""
Great, more places to shove in woke points by wokesidian.
