Out of curiosity I just Googled “Avowed third person.” Apparently Obsidian recently posted a job listing for an animator for third person combat animations. The listing didn’t mention Avowed, but that is a good sign.
I hope Avowed does well. I think Pillars of Eternity is a great IP, and even if I had problems with the sequel, I think that it did enough right to warrant another chance. Obsidian had a lot of talent, so with the right resources they could make PoE3 something really special.
The "problems" with the sequel was lack of marketing. Deadfire is a fantastic game and a visual marvel. It has the best looks and best class system of all CRPGs.
Yup. I LOVE the class system with multi-classing. And also yes, the game looks visually stunning. Even won some awards for its visuals. But going with Fig and having horrible marketing and promotion was indeed the problem. No surprise their marketing and promotion head got the axe soon after.
