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.
It was a below average game, and a bad rpg. That's why it sold so badly.
Would you please elaborate? I don't see how a game with that scope, polish, voice acting, advanced mechanics can be below average. I hate Josh Sawyer's obsession with balance, but the multiclass system is a triumph, it is so good it is hard complete a playthrough because you want to try other 20 builds.
Clearly they're trolling. Best to ignore.
And yes, Deadfire is a fantastic game in every way. People who've actually played the game overwhelmingly give it very high marks. But sometimes, even a really good game just doesn't sell. A generation ago Ps:T had very poor sales too, and yet it is considered a classic.
