Avowed, a TOW-like game from Obsidian

For discussing role-playing video games, you know, the ones with combat.

I want that conversation to feel like a safe space for the players who are playing it and identify with it,” she said. “I don't want to pull the rug out from under them and say, ‘Haha, actually you're a joke,’ or ‘other people think you are a joke.’ [...] I don't want to write a homophobia simulator. [laughs] That's not what I got in the game writing for.
Kate Dollarhyde talking about the companion she wrote in Outerworlds. She was written in such a way that you weren't allowed to say anything mean, but you could just murder her asexual-lesbian-lover right in front of her.
If only she had wanted to write a good story and interesting characters.

Also, just try to imagine the mind of someone that needs to control what you do in your gameplay because it might somehow magically make other players playing their own games feel bad by some sort of akhasic osmosis...
You may as well not bother replying to my posts if it's to argue anything except concrete facts or your personal opinion. I still probably won't see it.
Reject your retarded-wing political programming and learn to think.
If you can.

Who the **** actually thinks this can SELL? :shock:

Edit. The environments are fine and sometimes good, but characters are what SELL. Knowing that, as they certainly do, they ship THIS. [screenshot]

This might be the most aesthetically unpleasant game I have ever laid eyes on in my life. It is funny to me how both Obsidian and the Concord devs thought these types of character designs would sell. Truly baffling.

I can't see one aspect in which this game is better than Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon.

Not even the official trailer can make it look any good or interesting. Wild that they thought showing that close-up of that rambling idiot was a good idea.

The running animation in first person has you visibly throwing your arms alternately ahead of you like an athlete doing a competition...

Of course that ******** Bethesda shill isn't shilling this game. The **** stopped having opinions of his own years ago.

I like the choices you can pick:
1. give him the thing
2. give him the thing
3. give him the thing
4. don't give him the thing

Truly the pinnacle of choice and consequence.

Nobody. The problem is that the people that should be pressuring the wokies to make the women prettier and boobs bigger are not doing so, because us peons are not the actual costumers - these games are made to pander to the deep state and investment capital.
1. [follow the plot] be diplomatic
2. [follow the plot] whine like a *****
3. [follow the plot] regret even starting
4. be contrarian, but follow the required plot

The people who write this think this way.
Amazing how a tiny chinese indie game completely btfos the entire west in terms of reactivity & choice 5 seconds in :pipe-thinking:

This happens when character designers and 3d modeling devs aren't communicating with each other (and the management is ********). The stylized design probably looked good drawn on paper but felled short after 3d sculpting/texturing and there was not enough feedback between teams. From what we heard about how most of the work was outsourced to many different studios (I bet some of them are cheap with little experience) it looks like the case here.

Eugenics is ultra-chuddism. Banning contraceptives is a good way to create more of the impulsive kind of person that will inevitably make such a law moot or actively undo it anyway, as well as other issues.

it seems like videa gaymes chars these days look like whores with oversized jaw implants. at best. i guess better than ******.
the jaw implant is at too low angle ergo making face look like a ******* potato rather than sloping for wide brain skull, which suppose to signal attractive/advanced trait.

**** started from it and turned it into low angle and wide chin implants to promote man like looking surgeries for vagina
example here;
potato.jpg


also eyes are bit too wide placed and bug like.

It's cinematic shorthand to quickly convey without words that a character is an NPC.

This game reminds me of all the artists that brownwash characters because they feel uncomfortable drawing white people, even though they like the character, that is depicted as such.
