Still more dramatic depth then the entirety of Kingmaker.

Then we most likely wouldn’t have OW.

You assume most players feel that way. While there are always vocal players calling for post-main-campaign expansion, I would be surprised if that was majority of players opinions, considering they have been doing that since New Vegas. Again, there should be “point of no return” save, which should allow you to do all DLCs, then playthrough the endgame and see the impact of this new content on the ending. I for one prefer new in-campaign content, as Obsidian RPGs a ripe for replay - especially one as short as Outer Worlds, though I am not sure if it have enough depth to warrant more then 2 playthroughs unlike PoEs or New Vegas. I get that’s it might not be for you, but I think you will see that many of Obsidian fans value their games for reactivity and replayability. As such DLCs that expand the core journey are valued. Still, I am still somewhat surprised that they don’t allow for playthrough on its own, unless Gorgon content is somehow uses other locations as well (like SSS from PoE2). My advice would be that if you are into “single playthroughs” in the future, just wait until games are as complete as they get. I never buy a game which I don’t intend to replay until it gets GOTY edition, or something like that.

That’s how Obsidian usually does DLCs. I like that, though I will wait for 2nd DLC before doing second playthrough (plus stream release). Is there no “point of no return” save?

Solasta EA out on October 20th. I like those dice animations. Not so much the rest of UI. I find it intrusive, in spite of being minimal.

As I replied on thread that you started - try once the DLC is out.

Devs were pretty open from the start that certain features that they know there is demand for (like 3rd person camera or modding support) won't be possible to add for this relatively small budget, first in the IP, build from the ground up game. Perhaps for the sequel. OW is also build in Unreal Engine, not an inhouse one, and while I know little of modding UE isn't famous from being mod friendly out of the box. As such I would also keep expectations regarding modding take for Avowed - though it is a far bigger Microsoft funded production, so anything is possible at this point.

I checked Epic UK store and no season pass nor DLC are available for pre-purchase. Perhaps try once DLCs are released? Tomorrow I think?

What do you mean? They are unlikely to kickstart anything now when they are owned by a sizable corporation and InXile is a different studio.

Eh, I think it's fair. Alpha Protocol is much easier to like if you are not actively playing it. I have fond memories of this game, but when I played it for the first time before PoE1 release I quit-raged quite a lot.

What game. In case you are not aware, you are posting in a forum unrelated to any specific game.

There is also Outer Worlds which should be re-releasing on steam relatively soon with one of two DLCs out.

Pre-ordering what exactly?

Spelunky 2 received PC release date and it's September 29!

If Obsidian wants to explore aftermath of PoE2 in Avowed, I think this is a perfect place to bring new players in. This is where secrets can be revealed to the whole world, and Avowed protagonist could face the truth by following consequences, rather then learning about Watcher’s journey - in the end while PoE2 set up many things, many storylines did come to a close. Leaden Key’s secret is not to be secret, Eothas completed his journey. Events that led up to aren’t as relevant as the event itself. It could be a good place to invite new players and hopefully they might be interested enough to try older titles. But yeah, I assume it is not called PoE3 for a reason - as far as we know it might have nothing to do with PoE storyline. Whatever it will be, I am not worried about it. Obsidian has never compromised on RPGness of their RPGs. Even their most streamlined RPGs (like Outer Worlds, Tyranny) are still really good.

Or you know... they just make characters that fit the universe they created. Having models from Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue might go against that whole corporate oppression they were going for.

I think I liked OW as quest update "tong!" gives me happy-tingles. Uuuu, I like portable-phonographs.

If you are still for some reason not sold on Marvel’s Avengers here is the real game seller. Game might look a bit shallow, but monetisation seem to have complexity rivalling your average cRPG systems. I think I will need a guide for that. if you prefer, here is Jim Sterling yapping on the matter.

126h is, and yeah.... pretty much the same. Except I sunk so much into it, it almost feels like a waste not to push through it at this point. I am taking another break right now though.

Moar is coming on September 2nd. Too bad it's a modified level. Hopefully it's modified quite a bit.

🤣 Yes, I know the feeling. Just like perfectly fine name "Adolf", EA will never be the same.

Solasta coming to Steam EA in fall

And, if I may say so, at least one of those were mutual.

RPS review isn't great. I will definitely hold from playing it, at least until they patch it up a bit. Still, I am not finished with Kingmaker and sounds very familiar. Honestly, I didn't quite like what I have seen in the demo. I will play it someday though.
