Avowed, a TOW-like game from Obsidian

[rusty_shackleford]

The silent generation often had children later in life than earlier generations: later 20s to 30s, and the boomers even more so.
The boomers were the first generation to have large numbers only start having kids in their mid-late 30s. Too late for genX.
Remember "yuppies"? They were boomers. Their kids could barely be genX when they started having them.

The majority of boomers had millennials, with the worst boomers having almost entirely millennials.

Just take the L you have no idea what you are talking about.

You take it. You're wrong. And arrogant, as usual.

What a shame, game looked ok but those *** devs really disgust me. I'll skip Avowed and just play KCD2/Pirate Yakuza/Monster Hunter Wilds instead

Who would like an NPC screenshot?

Can you guess if this is male or female?
I'm leaning towards female, but it's not 100%.

I'm an elder Millennial (1984) and my parents were born in 1954 (boomer) and 1964 (also boomer but on the edge of Gen X)

I'm an elder ******(1984) and my parents were born in 1954 (disappointed) and 1964 (also disappoined)

My father's brother was gay and my mother is a fujoshi. Apples and trees.

Was your father heterosexual? I don't think having gay brother necessarily makes him gay on anything like this.

I'm more afraid of the way he found out about this.

[Brother Chad]

I gotta say, I was wondering how a 70 USD AA game coming out after Veilguard would try to compete, and this is not what I expected.

It's like they saw the dumpster fire that BioWare started and lit their wastebasket on fire.

@orinEsque By the way your No Alphabet Mod got mentioned in the video.

Why does this guy not realise, most people love BG3 and don't mention woke as much because they never actually played Act 3. 10% of players actually played Act 3. The rave reviews come from Act 1 and 2 (except Aylin). Because those two Acts were genuinely good.

Considering the fact on what he typically discusses on his other main channel he should know better. My only conclusion is that he’s purposely being this naive/dumb to not alienate his audience.

Just noticed it was also retweeted by Sawyer, who was definitely in charge of hiring.

After all recent news I can boldly assume there will be no children in this game. Just like most other modern high budget rpgs.
Not like i want to beat midgets or anything, this is simply a good marker for quality of the writing. You need some good mature storycraft to pull off dramatic plots involving kids. And lousy modern authors just can't juxtapose children and adults - they either write both groups as infantile idiots, adults start to look stupid next to the kids or most often they are afraid to tackle such sensitive complicated themes.

I don't want libtards to be anywhere near kids, fictional or not.

That's the other way around. Kids and what they represent are the most dangerous entity to woke libtrard's ideology.

wtf, I just found out that Avowed has been in development for 5 years.

All that time and all they have to show for it is gay Skyrim?

It's not even skyrim, just like how outer worlds was much closer to mass effect than fallout

Feargus has acknowledged that covid/remote-work really ****** them when it came to productivity. It's also been through multiple restarts. Summary I made back in 2022:

I may be getting some times wrong, but back in January 2021 the project was so screwed up that Chris Parker was pulled off as project director and replaced with Carrie Patel, Bobby Null was pulled off as creative lead, and Dan Platt was replaced by Matt Hansen as art director. In April 2021 the lead writer Lucien Soulban quit and was replaced by Kate Dollarhyde. In May 2021 Jorge Salgado quit as lead area designer. In May 2022 Dollarhyde quit and was replaced by Robert Lo.

Obsidian is the lesser, but no less woke, BioWare.

Same bleedout of talent, same unhinged workforce, same disorganized development process that led to multiple restarts. And it will all end up with the same level of failure as Deadname.
