Meanwhile, Varva is singlehandedly convincing everyone that Czechs are *******.
That did not take much convincing.

I'll report back on this since I own the deluxe edition. I swear if they don't let me make a white man, I will tell the dude I'm refunding the gift.
Can't you somehow gift me the game? I want to try it out but not buy it, and I'm too lazy to pirate it :scratch:

In your opinion, would you say Southern Slavs are superior to Western and/or Eastern Slavs? :scratch-pipe:

potential companions are:
dwarf
negress
fish ******
el goblina

I'd say it would be difficult to make a worse companion lineup, but obsidian already did that in outerworlds

This game has been in development for over half a decade, insane.
Owlcat made two massive games with DLC + has multiple games in development in the time it took them to make Avowed, despite having nowhere near the same access to funding.

I am actually impressed by how dreadful the companion choices are. None are remotely acceptable. Obsidian sure knows how to make ****** games.

Why is the dwarf an archer? Is this the "subversion" media literate folks keep telling me about?

Interesting, I had the opposite reaction. I thought he looked more niggardly in the 2d art than the 3d model.

Game for nobody who purchases and plays games, I would say.

Just like how the freaks are already predicting this game's failure and blaming us normal people who encompass the majority of the population, we too can easily predict that the only ones who will say good things about this game are the same chills who sucked the ***** **** of Veilguard.

The only thing that I believe will be surprising is if this game flops several times harder than Dilatation Age did, since I think the consensus is that it will flop equally hard, not necessarily harder. :pipe-thinking:

What's wrong with the dwarf?
As a concept, a dwarf is a great companion.
How'd they **** it up?
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.

I think the issue is that these days every time we see a fantasy race that comes with its own rich history, the "progressives" need to somehow strive to change the norm in an attempt of "subverting expectations".

In Owlcat's Wrath of the Righteous there's a half-orc lesbian paladin, an assassin dwarf, a neutral evil aasimar, and a chaotic good demoness. To give an example.

The dwarf companion in this game is an archer, a role traditionally associated with elves. And I would also bet that this companion for whatever reason will be the only in-story dwarf who's also an archer for the sole reason that he had to be "quirky" or some other weird ****.

To be fair Owlcat games are much smaller in scope and budget, it’s still embarrassing for obsidian though.
