E3 is still a thing?
But hopefully we'll get some news on Avowed and Elden Ring, in any case. If not, then it's losing it's artificial prestige even faster.
yeah quite a few companies will be there actually, here are those we know of this far:
Video game industry showcase returns virtually in 2021 with confirmed partners Nintendo, Xbox, Capcom, Konami, Ubisoft, Take-Two Interactive, Warner Bros. Games and Koch Media to participate

I usually have to watch coverage or live streams of BlizzCon, and I hope e3 doesn't charge for viewership to supplement the lack of physical audience/booths.
It's free for viewing as far as I know, june 12-15th

Does anyone plans to be on E3 at this point?
Do you mean in person? E3 is digital this year due to COVID. Publisher wise there are quite a few, even Nintendo is attending again and more importantly Microsoft, so there is at least a chance we see something from avowed there, seeing grounded is a given I think.

So you guys think we’ll see or hear anything about Avowed at E3?
I personally think the game is still years away and E3 2023 or 2024 is more likely but what do you think? I hope it’s sooner and am really looking forward to what obsidian will do with open world RPGs and a proper budget and development time.

In a way. I see it as a brand identity. I don't think it has to be a "game wouldn't sell as well if it had Pillars in the title" but a case of what Obsidian wants "the Pillars of Eternity" brand to represent and what they want Avowed to be. I don't think pitting "PoE" in Avowed title would hurt it, but why would you do it? It won't boost Avowed's profile and and you will only annoy PoE fans.
If Obsidian doesn't completely erase a possibility of making PoE3 at some point in the distand future, it's good to leave the brand untouched. All they will have to do is announce that they are working on PoE3 and everyone will understand. At the same time they are free to do whatever they want with Avowed and not face a backlash from people invested in the IP.
I think the main reason this does not carry the pillars name is to not scare away people who haven’t played the first 2 games. Pillars of eternity does not carry the same weight as fallout did when Bethesda acquired the rights to it so I imagine a lot of people who would be interested in a Skyrim like experience and see a “3” on it would not pick it up because they don’t know the previous games.

A completely risk free crowd funded project paid for by fans who received zero of the post-release profits could very well be considered a cash grab if you want to get down to it.
Which is why so many studios found Kickstarter absolutely seductive and started using it, no risk attached whatsoever.
I don’t think the Kickstarter money was enough to call these games “paid for by fans”. I mean what were the numbers? 4 million? That’s not a lot of money to fund a medium sized team for a few years, counting insurance, rent, tech and salaries. Kickstarter is more a thing to get the hype going and have some of the dev costs in and see if there is interest in your games but you can’t fund projects like these with so (comparatively) little money.

But I do think it kind of strengthens the War of Defiance setting theory.
Oh man I hope not
we know what happened at the war of defiance and how it ended. I want new stories and the world to move forwards, unbound by known history and hope that this will play after deadfire. We’ll see I guess, but if the resetera leaks prove to be true the living lands will be the setting.

3rd person kills immersion & becomes the meta if its available, look at ESO love doing everything in 1st person on ESO but it cant compete in combat vs 3rd person so you lose immersion to gain more situational awareness, no 3rd person = immersion & no forced 3rd person metas
I'm not up to date on the current Skyrim meta but I enjoyed playing in 1st person and looking at my character in 3rd person sometimes while traveling to look at my armour and char, so I'd prefer both but hey I'm not all there in the meta as I said.
you are aware that this won't be an MMO right?

This is so right on. The "prequel" label does not, and cannot, apply to Avowed no matter the time period of the game as long as it has nothing directly to do with the storyline of the PoE games.
of course it does, we know what the gods are, what will happen to the world and we know a decent number of things of the history of known nations, so much is set in stone.
I'd like to see how the world continues ofter the breaking of the wheel and I think starting new players in a world of uncertainty (pillars was always too certain for me on a lore level, souls are real and control that and that, they are reborn, no gods except for the creations of the engwithans and we know why they created them, it was all just too concrete) with dying artificial gods is not the worst premise.

Also there is some info in deadlines Last dlc, from Reddit user MickyJim:
Now this is very interesting. There's a series of books in Forgotten Sanctum that I believe are implied to partially predict the future. One is called "The Reclamation of the Living Lands" and it's description goes like this...
The forces of the faithful left Aedyr with an exhortation from the Héamecwyn still ringing in their ears. 'Let not the sullen, wild people of that lawless continent continue to suffer beyond the guiding hand of The Queen That Was And Shall Be Again! Deliver them of their savagery that they might join us in civilization and reap soon the rewards of their newfound piety. 'As your Queen demands, so too do I: take up the burden of empire. Free them from themselves.'
My new theory, then, is that Aedyr is trying to conquer the Living Lands

I hope for an interview with someone soon, would be great to know a little bit more about the title

I always liked TES‘s approach to this, first person works well to look around and get a good feeling for rooms, objects and their size. It also helps when interacting with objects and has the added benefit that the gameworld needs to be a lot more interactive and detailed to work in a RPG.
On the other hand RPGs are always a bit of a power fantasy and it just feels good to see your character sometimes in its armour or robes even if it isn’t that viable to really play the game in that perspective, like in elder scrolls. I know it’s probably a huge amount of work to get character animations right and have the camera not spasm out but I’d like to see it implemented if possible.

Everything in the trailer would seem to suggest that it did. And that fact that it was outlawed dovetails into the narrative ("our oaths are lost - forsaken")
The arrows are being fired from a castle with Woedica's banner. This faction is clearly loyal to Woedica. The arrows strike vessels crawling out of a fissure. Inside that fissure is our protagonist holding a blade with "Oathbreaker" engraved into it. This faction is clearly no longer loyal to Woedica.
I also don't know how comfortable I am assuming that Woedica (or any of the gods) possess omniscience. My assumption has always been that the Leaden Key exists *because* Woedica specifically, but the gods generally, don't know what's going on unless told. I mean, why else would Berath need the Watcher to find out what Eothas is up to in Deadfire? All this to say that if the this "Oathbreaker" faction of animancers were able to keep their activities secret from the Leaden Key, then Woedica wouldn't know.
My 2 cents anyway
I thought the inscription of the sword says oathbinder?
also is there a way to answer to a post without completely copying it?

interesting speculation about the timeframe for game
That why I wanted to post it here, most people seem certain that this is going to be a prequel, I rather hope it’s a sequel.
i don’t think I would have much fun playing avowed at least from a story perspective after all we know from Poe 1 and 2 if it was a prequel. We all know what the gods are why they exist and what happens to the wheel so I‘d much rather see how the world continued after.

Here is some speculation from avowed’s Reddit page by user Auriga_PoE I found interesting, thanks for the permission to post here:

Really excited about this, only thing is I hope this plays after Poe. I don’t like prequels at all.

E3 Speculation
in Avowed Speculation
Posted
Sponger, apparently an InXile and Obsidian insider as of other users on resetera said that Avowed will be shown at E3, here's a quote from him
I need to say that I'm a little bit confused with Jeff's statement that Avowed will not be ready for E3 as the info that I have is that "we'll have a trailer for our big game at E3" and "Avowed will be shown this year" and "game is in great shape, almost fully on schedule". ... From the conversation I was convinced that it would be a gameplay trailer for E3
