The trick is to not have any friends. I like to think your character name is very offensive. Something Jim perhaps

Every game in my steam library for 15 minutes before getting bored

Probably in the minority and his build isn't bad but tekehu from deadfire annoyed me a lot

I doubt it will flop. Even if it's not as good as people think. People will have rose coloured glasses At least to start off. Example is how much I loved outer world's at the start. Now trying to replay I get bored super quick. It's not bad... Just not as good as I thought it was to begin with

Why would obsidian make another IP for post apoc? Microsoft already has fallout and wasteland... Not sure they need a third. Although you did sway me with "start working on PoE 3" I do worry a bit about obsidian after Microsoft bought bethesda.

I'd probably be forced to join the people who were murdered faction. My weapon would be the stench from my rotting corpse.

Funny that I'm pretty sure this doesn't change the fact that there are still no launch titles... Even after buying that many studios. Very interesting though

Kinda weird if new elder scrolls and avowed are Xbox exclusives. Really hoping for a obsidian fallout! Also I hope this means avowed is more RPG heavy, seeing as they are definitely not competitors now. Elder scrolls can be the open playground and avowed can be more hardcore rpg.

Just finished wasteland 3... Weird that this game had no real twists and turns. 10 hours in I was thinking 9/10 midway through was thinking 8/10 by the end it really feels like a 6 or 7. Won't spoil anything but the motivation for your alternate choice(not patriarch) doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I really just felt nothing about the whole ending.

I'll have a listen... If for no reason other than to see how you fill up a podcast talking about a game with barely any information out about it.

I'm curious why some people dislike Sawyer? I think He is a bit combative with fans occasionally but I doubt that's the only reason.

Just wait until you've gone between Colorado springs and the palace a few times. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the game. I dread reloading or entering areas due to the very long load times. I blame unity

She seems unhinged... My first playthrough is my idealistic naive playthrough... Try to do everything that my younger self believed in... My second play will be more cynical where I'll side with the patriarch. Third if I get to a third will be psycho(I rarely finish these as I tend to feel guilty even if it's make believe) 8/10 seems right... Could be a 9 of those damn loading times were cut down

This would mean it's very close to the events surrounding Poe/deadfire which I dont think it will be. Honestly I wouldnt mind if it was. The only thing I dont want it to be is waidwens Legacy. I feel like too much is known of that event.

Agreed... I don't generally find "fun" games fun. Aside from occasional sport games, I basically only play games for the story. Even in sport games I wish they would focus more on rpg elements, as sports are actually very ripe for role playing. Instead they are all about pay to win online garbage. Luckily I highly doubt avowed will be shallow with its world building and story... I do think character building(stats skills ect) might be shallow though, which is a bummer but something I can look passed if the story/world building/character building(personality/character story building) is good.

Then it's their fault for going with private division. I don't actually care I got it on PS4 but any decision you make is yours to own.

I love obsidian but it is kind of their fault for signing the epic deal.

I didn't have any bugs... However the controls are janked to the janky jank. That was really my only issue with it.

Anyone read Lucien soulbans books? His name is extremely bad ass it must be fake. I'm unaware of his previous work though... As lead narrative I'd be interested in what his writing is like.

I agree with everything... Except the tab to highlight. It does actually have a highlight button... I believe it's left alt? Took me a while to find it... And I'd constantly hit tab instead and either enter combat or sneak... Forget which it is

I think the saddest thing would be not getting an end to what was supposed to be a trilogy. Deadfire is very unsatisfactory as an ending. So many unanswered questions. Maybe avowed will answer those? But I doubt they would confuse new players by having it be a sequel to deadfire. If we never get a POE3 then I hope avowed or an eora based game eventually does answer those questions

Ah crap it's out tomorrow? Guess that means I'm buying another game... My backlog grows bigger, especially with that never ending game

I started playing but I'm going to finish the trails in the sky series first.... I kind of don't like the changes in wasteland 3... I'll get used to it but I beat wasteland 2 quite recently so I'm very used to that style. It seems somewhat dumbed down. From what I can tell.... The intelligence nerf is a bit much... I didn't realize it doesn't affect skill points per level... The story is intriguing though which is the most important part.

Dialog checks were stiff. Now every check is stiff, from disarming to hacking. I dont mind really, better than save summing but prepare to not be able to meet every single check that comes your way... Also weird after level 3 you get an attribute point after every level which seems weird... I'm still early on in the game so maybe every character won't be perfect by the end? But it feels like that's where it's headed
