  1. Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - Enhanced Edition - A Dance of Masks epilogue DLC coming June 13th

    Was browsing through the DLC reviews and then saw this, which I couldn't believe, this being Owlcat and all: Then I realized I had another browser tab still open... :/

  2. Eternity Avowed - Obsidian's first person action-RPG in the Pillars of Eternity setting - coming Fall 2024

    I'll think MS would intervene by now if they'd try again and handle that a little differently. Sure, Skyrim still brings in SOME money. But the buzz is off. Kids that were made when Skyrim was born are going to high school soon.

  3. Eternity Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire + DLC Thread - now with turn-based combat!

    At least in Deadfire et all, only some of the writing is surplus. "Filler" and "surplus" are basically Owclat's main company line -- but then they wouldn't be able to churn out three 100 hour epics in the span of half a decade, countless DLC and Enhanceds to boot. All apparently rolling straight...

  4. Eternity Avowed - Obsidian's first person action-RPG in the Pillars of Eternity setting - coming Fall 2024

    Obsidian being closed immediately is much less likely than them being turned into Fallout franchise servants. Cycles between releases are getting longer and longer -- and having multiple studios assigned to working on big IP is one logical destination for BFCs (Big Fucking Corporations). Call Of...

  5. Fallout Fallout 1-2 builds

    Requesting a Max Rockatansky or Imperator Furiosa build. #hyped #Furiosa

  6. Broken Roads - turn-based Australian post-apocalyptic RPG with "unique morality system"

    So, with Mad Max (not) going to return tomorrow: How mid is this? I had this wishlisted. But it's been a long time since I've seen a CRPG with ratings as low. Running time would be the least of (my) problems. Release an RPG that is rumored to take but twice as long as a shooting gallery like...

  7. Dragon Age Dragon Age: Dreadwolf - full reveal in Summer 2024, Solas fangirls rejoice

    I'd love somebody to throw the billion dollars put into cinematics fully into the systemic interactions, as BG3 teases them. Alas, not gonna happen......

  8. Dragon Age Dragon Age: Dreadwolf - full reveal in Summer 2024, Solas fangirls rejoice

    Bioware would have never found "their way" if it hadn't been for Feargie. There's a parallel universe out there were Urquhart slipped in the shower, broke his ankle, called in sick -- and where Bioware would have never done anything but chasing trends all the way back to who set them. One of...

  9. The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition - Obsidian's first-person sci-fi RPG set in a corporate space colony

    Game's a bit bland, and that doesn't only apply to its "+50% carry weight" type of perks. But it has its moments. That is, I thought that way, until I landed on Monarch. The entire wilderness is Chinese MMO tier, full of copypaste enemy mobs and conveniently placed random loot. Tempted to take...

  10. Best Owlcat Game So Far

    The one where they drop a good third of their copypasta combat... Seriously, overall Kingmaker. In particular the early stages. Plus the chapter with the plague, where you got to do some light detective work as a welcome change of pace to all the copypasta combat.Also fond memories to...

  11. KickStarter Kingdom Come: Deliverance - Dan Vavra's medieval chad simulator

    Exactly. They even pissed all over that in their blogs -- for reason. https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/kingdom-come-deliverance-pre-release-thread-released-go-to-new-thread.69258/page-76#post-4780397 Good comparison to BG1 though. KCD reminded me of that as well. And that's what I like about...

  12. Owlcat's next game is an AAA title that will need full voice acting to compete with BG3

    Yeah, four copypasta filler mob combat games being developed simultaneously. Releasing three of such "epics" plus DLC in the span of barely half a decade clearly wasn't enough. Honestly would have hoped that they would reverse their "quantity over quality" ethos as their games show promise...

  13. Codex Review RPG Codex Review: Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous

    Gotta love this review. "This game is full of filler. But if ya like that kind of thing..." :D This is the first of the bigger CRPGs of the past decade that I've put down for good. Bought upon release. Re-installed three times to return to the save. Called it quits after 80 hours, another...

  14. Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks shut down by Microsoft

    Before they're axing any of those outright, they're going to turn them into Bethsoft junior -- and make them develop Fallout franchise product for eternity. In particular considering how freakishly long it takes to churn out these games these days -- and that delivering BIG IP blockbuster...

  15. Baldur's Gate Larian is moving away from D&D, no BG3 DLC or BG4

    Imagine moving from fantasy to sci-Fi being considered as "having (space?) balls". :-D Then again, RPGs are the forever playgrounds of dwarves and elves, of Pip-Boys and Cyberpunks. Basically, a genre of games where even announcing a zombie apocalypse or WW2 game would be seen as a radical...
