Its like you know what they are going for, D&D in your head.dramatic battles.none of which translates into first person, and 3rd person if not done properly devolves kind of combat you get in The Witcher 3. 3rd person, shifting camera, let the game choose my attacks depending on what button I press (or button combo I use) and the direction of my dpad and watch the limbs fly.I played Skyrim almost exclusively via Ranged and Magic, melee was the last resort and the slash/backpedal really got to me after awhile. Unpopular opinion #2 for this thread: I want a game that gives me Batman-style timed-button-press choreographed battles against numerous baddies. Heck the old CONAN game on the Xbox 360 at least let you pick up new weapons and shields to give you some kind of variation, once I got into combat in Witcher 3 I immediately realized "oh my god.this game.this amazingly beautiful, rich game.sucks to actually *play*". 3rd person combat if it isn't turn-based (think VATS) somehow turns into The Witcher 3: A really beautiful adventure game where the key to all of it, the combat, blows utter ass Roll, Roll, same swipes with sword. Here's my bitch about Fantasy RPG's in general: First Person Melee does literally nothing for me when you're just spamming the attack button and hitting back-arrow on your keyboard until your stamina bar returns, it gets old so quickly. Obsidian are certainly far better than Bethesda when it comes to stories and dialog and choices. Maybe Avowed will be an actual RPG and a good game in a fantasy setting. Skyrim is a boring, poorly written and designed, and clunky game that isn't even an RPG but is Action-Adventure.
#When does avowed come out series
But, I guess they're just wanting to tap that stuff to build interest for a new series (the game takes place in the Pillars of Eternity world, though). So, it looks extremely derivative, to me. They have the resources to make it happen, and they might just have told Obsidian, 'make us one of those'.Īnd the ending, where there's a shaking screen, monster sounds, and a fiery glow and steam increasingly coming from the cave across the narrow rock pathways, with the player lighting up their spell and holding a sword, seems like it's meant to evoke the scene in Lord of the Rings where Gandalf faces-off with the balrog in a similar setting. The scene with the sword in one hand, spell in the other certainly looks like a Skyrim perspective with updated graphics - and I don't think it's any stretch to think that Microsoft wants their own Elder Scrolls series now that they own Obsidian. The narration doesn't say much and is tropey.
I'm not saying that means it won't be good, though. The teaser for Avowed seems super generic and derivative, to me. People at Obsidian (or who formerly were) made the good Fallout games. Of course, not the 3D ones, but those ones are bad. People at Obsidian created the Fallout series. "After years of making Fallout-style RPGs "
