It would just take a lot of extra work to make it after the end. Would have to add dialog to characters having them acknowledge what happened at the end of the game. Depending on your end game choice you'd have completely made yourself an enemy to all the corporation's. With unlimited time and budget I'm sure more games would have their DLC take place after the end game. As it is, that's a lot of extra work when you can just add it before the ending.

Yen is great if you are into extremely toxic relationships. Played 1 and 2 wondering why anyone would choose Yen. Read a couple of the books... Now I dislike both of them

I hope it's 2nd person camera

I stopped reading after "real time whether systems"(the leak)

Avellone seems like such a b I t c h Dude seems angry at everyone. Any time I hear a statement from him, it's so whiney and putting other people down.

Tyranny is such an underrated game. I was really hoping paradox would do their 50 DLCs for it like they do with most games. That might sound sarcastic but its not at all.

I actually have a hatred of Witcher 3... I started with Witcher 3... Then I thought "crap I don't understand who anyone is... I gotta go back". I beat Witcher 1 and 2 and thought... Wtf I guess I gotta read the books before anything makes any damn sense. They are good games but personally I hate playing sequels if I haven't played the previous games. And Witcher needs a ton of work to catch up to Witcher 3... Therefore I will probably never beat it. I read a couple of the books and imo they aren't great.

Nice... That will scratch the itch... The more I think about it the more I think POE is no more. Deadfire could be the end of watchers story and this takes place after... I mean obviously no one knows... But woedica/aedyr rising up after deadfire kind of makes sense

Off topic but what the hell happened to "black geyser". Is that still a thing?

I really really hope this is it's own thing. I like crpg and first person.... But I'd hate to lose POE

Fair enough... I could see being more immersed in the world. But not more immersed in the character. Like you said though everyone's different.

I understand why people like 3rd person, but saying it makes you feel like you are "really there" doesn't make a lot of sense. First person is more immersive in the sense that you are seeing what your character sees. Not knowing what is behind you is a reality... Kingdom come is the best example of this... If you get jumped it's super frustrating getting attacked from all angles and not knowing what to do, your vision being thrown all over. That is very realistic... Even professional fighters would have a very hard time fighting 4 untrained people. 3rd person is more like watching a movie. 1st is more like you are actually the character. Again I get why people prefer 3rd... Just wouldn't say it's more immersive... At least in the sense of feeling like you are the character

Yeah Kotor did turn out well. Although I've never been a huge star wars fan so it wouldn't be the same. Fair point it can be done well. I wonder how long until we know more about the game... I get the feeling we won't know anything for another year at least

From the leaks I think I'd actually prefer this game happen after deadfire.. As long as it's completely seperate from the watchers story. With the wheel being broken aedyr/woedica start to rise up and reforge an empire... Then having POE3(please god let there be a proper POE3) happen after avowed... I really don't like prequels so I am definitely bias.... But I think that could work.

I mean technically a trailer is worse than a full game. So I guess you're right. Skyrim game > avowed trailer

I was responding to someone saying "With all the burning forests and stuff I could see the story being based around the War of the Black Trees or the Dyrwood's independence" i think it's probably aedyr based on the woedica stuff... But the storms did make me think rauatai. At this point no one really knows anything. that arrow went so far maybe it started in Aedyr and fell in rauatai

I really really hope this isn't the case. It's too directly connected to the POE story. I did notice there were thunderstorm in the hills during the trailer which made me think rauatai

Personal preference. It's easier to judge distance in first person. Often in 3rd person the body will block the sight of your enemies. I always think 3rd person will be better for melee but then I'm swinging too early

I've read that its really hard to do the first person body... but it never made sense why its so hard

I think unreal engine games are hard to mod... but i dont acutally know if thats true, just what it seems like. If you can have companions, maybe there will be classes. In the end i just hope its good.

I was thinking about how they will do the watcher, and also the ciphers. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if it turns out you are technically the same watcher... just a long time ago... as in, the same soul. I doubt there will be class bases... but hopefully there are way more RPG elements than skyrim. Are soft classes a thing? Having a level cap is important to RPGs so maybe its a situation where you dont have enough points to do everything well. I always laugh when i see "skyrim builds". Because never in that game did I need to think about how i was building my character. Also I'm awful at character building, so that says a lot.

Ohh okay. That makes sense. I definitely prefer when you can switch between the two, but i find combat much harder in 3rd person. Only really use it when im traveling because it looks cooler. I don't really picture myself as myself in games. More like... How i'd want myself to act. Otherwise id just hide in a corner. Personally I think i would actually prefer being able to see my body in first person, than having 3rd person. Looking down and seeing nothing is unnerving. (there is a sick burn i just set someone up for)

Doubt it. I want to be able to see my feet in first person.... Which I also doubt. Curious, why won't you play first person games?

Doubt it. Too much change after the ending. Unless they write in new dialog for all the NPCs to acknowledge what happened .. I'd prefer they spend that time on a new story

I agree. I mean... I'll play it either way but I want it to be as detached from POE as possible.
