Avowed - Obsidian's new game, like Pillars of Eternity meets Elder Scrolls

Unless KCD2 went full retard and bend the knee to add trannies and niggers to medieval European setting, it will be 100% white and historically accurate, ie exactly the kind of game aimed at white men. Obsidian made it political, and now the pro-white game will outsell the anti-white game. They are going to have a REALLY bad time now, they're the ones who made an ethical contest out of this.
They've shown some gameplay footage and from what we've seen the most niggery we get is a Pole who can't help but BIX NOOD at everyone in that foul babble pretending to be a human language his kind speak.

He does of course get some excellent "last words" off as he's about to be hung until Henry saves him: "Glory to Poland, FUCK YOU!"
 
Seriously. All they had to do was shut the fuck up and let the people find out how woke or isn't the game is AFTER they have made their purchases.

Is that so hard to do?

And these are supposed to be grown-ass adults. Jesus.
This is why the idea that they'll be sneaky about wokeshit in the future will never work. These people literally just cannot help themselves. Some member of the dev team, no matter how big or small, will break the seal of silence and sperg out over hecking racist chuds and brag about how woke their upcoming game is. They are literally incapable of being normal.
 
I am surprised anyone has any faith in Obsidian after Outer Worlds. They suckered me into to buying it day one as I expected it to have roughly on par with New Vegas (I was greatly mistaken). Now with zero talent left and the devs screeching about politics 24/7 Obsidian will shatter like it's namesake once this game bombs.
I gave up after Pillars of Eternity 2. Tyranny had quite a few issues but overall was an enjoyable experience but PoE2's writing was so reddit that I couldn't bring myself to play for more than 8 hours. Later I found out that a lot of people left so they probably hired a bunch of unironic redditards to write PoE2, I swear it's on the level of YIIK.

I liked the original POE somewhat, but Eder always bothered me as a character. Had that vibe of a city/suburban libtard appropriating hick lingo/temperament to shit on everything that rural people believe deeply in. Couldn't believe for a second that he was actually a rural person with his constant shitting on religion and his own town. Do people in small towns sometimes feel that way? Yeah, but they'd usually never shit on their hometown to a stranger/join in with people shitting on people in that way. Feels like he was a fantasy 'hicklib' written by smug redditors. Could even feel the rot setting in then.
 
Even if the game is bad.

The cool ass skeleton as its art is beautiful
You might want to check out Annihilation then, as they're clearly ripping it off.

To be fair, his god become king in another country and then tried to wage war against his. His villagers, his countrymen does not share his beliefs and people who shared them raped and pillaged so he is kind of ashamed and dazed by all of it.

PoE2's companions were written by people who looked at marvel movies and said, nice i want this. They are annoying, the dialogues are annoying, the mechanics might be nice though but i have not played it for too long to analyze it.

My problem with PoE1's companions were that most of them had the same personality of 'well humored, world weary, good natured adventurer'. The only exceptions being Avellone's companions (Durance & Grieving Mother) and the White March companions. PoE2: Deadfire's companions mostly suffered from having very... reddit-tier writing, felt like their content was heavily truncated, and all just happened to be bisexual. Every interesting character in Deadfire was relegated to being a sidekick (basically a hireling/mercenary that occasionally had some dialogue).

Obsidian has lost a ton of talent over the years. Just looking at the development cycles of their recent titles shows how poorly managed and shitty their current staff is. New Vegas and Sith Lords were both completed in roughly 18 months each, Mask of the Betrayer was done in about a year, and all of New Vegas' DLC was pumped out in under a year. Current Obsidian, in comparison, spent 18 months working on the first DLC for Outer Worlds and will have spent around 7 years working on Avowed.

Avalon is clearly talented 1 when it comes to writing I don't know why him Tim kaine Leonard bernardski and the other surviving original fallout guys don't get together and just make their own game studio I'm sure people would throw money at them.

yes basically everyone with any talent left Obsidian

clearly Josh saw can't write anymore because he's developed severe California brain

Pretty sure MCA got blacklisted for a long time due to that #metoo scandal he got saddled with not long after the first POE cane out (only for the accuser to be shown to be lying about the whole thing).

It was probably enough to get him to fuck off from the industry entirely.

Yeah unlike Victoria he hired an actual lawyer specializing in defamation and wasn't getting legal advice from a coke addict you won the case they both had to pay him over $1,000,000 I guarantee neither of those women had the money

I feel the competency crisis tearing through gaming is not mentioned often enough. Modern AAA games being buggy, broken pieces of shit is usually blamed on the publisher for rushing the release or messing with the developers, and yet development cycles for games are longer than ever, and we know for a fact that EA has always been very hands-offs with BioWare, and that MS is notoriously lenient with their stable of developers, so the issue has to be elsewhere - namely, the woke dev hires.

I imagine he'd still be willing to work on games if someone were to make him an offer, but everyone in the industry is terrified of the leftist lynch mob.

I liked PoE1 companions. Yeah all of them seems to be chill to some extend and have no need to give their own opinions when it comes to most of the decisions, but i like their quests and motivations.
Chanter is the least interesting one but his quest is very lovely, White march companions are especially engaging and philosophically satisfying. I think the least satisfying ones were the companions that appeared in PoE2, because i believe they were already outlining a triology and wanted to use those characters in sequels and therefore tried to have an open door there.
 
Are western game devs incapable of not being political 24/7? How can you even focus on your work when the political cannibalism is constantly on?
They're not game devs. Game devs are hired to develop games. These people weren't hired for that. These people were hired because they are political activists who happen to develop games. It's a subtle, but huge, difference.
 
Feargus Urquhart
Wasn't this dude also partly responsible for the toxic, nepotistic culture at Interplay or am I mixing him with someone else?
Either way, I would take this with a grain of salt. It does make sense that soyjak here can be as open about his hatred of white people as he pleases with the Microsoft umbrella under him making sure he suffers no consequences for his actions.
 
I wonder if Urquhart would be singing the same "freedom of speech" tune if one of his employees dared publicly voice views that are right of Mao. I bet that individual would be called up by HR for a struggle session and reprimanded by the CEO, if he wasn't fired outright within a week.

Any saved sources that Feargus Urquhart is racist to white people except for himself?
