Almost every quest in RPG Avowed can be started in multiple ways: "We want to just constantly foster that sense of exploration, wanderlust" (www.gamesradar.com)

Obvious advertisement is obvious advertisement.

I looked it up, might try it, it gives off the faintest Morrowind vibes.

It is a peeve of mine in a game where it's like

go to a cave. It's empty
go to a town. Guy says cave is haunted please clear it out
go back to same cave. Now it's full of ghosts and skeletons!

I feel like this has become less common in the last decade though

I really enjoyed the few times in Witcher 3 where I arrived to a quest giver and Geralt was "oh yeah, lucky you I came across this earlier on". Alas, the few times it happened were so unexpected I completely missed it apart from the "quest complete" kinda pop-up.

Yes I don't like enemies that spawn. Especially in a single player game I think a world where everything gets created with the game world and stays that way is very interesting. Of course it's good if events can change the sandbox, like if you don't deal with a goblin camp near the village then they raid the village later.

RPG uses basic RPG mechanics

It kinda bothers me that they're making big deals of the bare minimum. Is that where we're at now?

I love Obsidian writing and quest design but the gameplay for this one looks bad from the trailers. Like a UE5 asset flip.

I hope I'm wrong. Will play for sure if it's on gamepass.

Its weird to think that probably this games only legacy that people will remember related to it will be that one of the artists self-reported the company using illegal hiring practices.

I didn't know about it until you mentioned it now, and it changes nothing for me.

Congrats on not being addicted to nonsense culture war outrage

[-] Kaboom@reddthat.com -2 points 2 weeks ago

Wait, what happened?

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

The chuds are butthurt that an Obsidian artist said he would prioritize helping artists of color get into the industry over “crusty old white men” or something along those lines. They’re just taking a self deprecating joke too seriously, imo.

I can already tell it's gonna flop. I hope I get proved wrong but any AAA game from the past 8 years is dog shit

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

I can’t think of a single game that Obsidian has made that was bad.

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Well, the first question you gotta ask these days is "is it really Obsidian, though".

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

They’ve released three games since being bought by Microsoft, all of them good. I honestly find all the dooming weird. It’s as if people want this game to be bad just because of Microsoft. I’ll revise my opinion in the face of evidence that they’re no longer producing the quality that I’ve come to expect from them.

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Was more of a general rule of thumb.
I've no ill will towards Obsidian and I'm definitely looking forward to a first person fantasy game that's not Bethesda junk! But yeah, I'll judge when reviews hit Steam and not a moment sooner.
