One can no longer dispute Obsidian’s success anymore.

      Yea this game is a 3+ years down the road for me kinda game. I also want to play the pillars games first even if I don’t HAVE to.

        I expect Avowed to be a worse game than PoE 2 for my taste, which is one of my favourite games of all time! Definitely worth playing those, especially since Avowed is set only a few years after PoE 2.

          I was really scratching my head trying to figure out how Avowed and Path of Exile 2 are connected… 😄

            It’s indeed pretty unfortunate that Path of Exile and Pillars of Eternity have the exact same initials, but I thought it’s clear in this context!

      Yeah, I’ve heard it’s more oblivion than pillars. t’s not gonna be worth more than $30 if that’s true, probably closer to 50 if it’s actually a decent pillars game.

        It’s pretty much impossible to replicate the tactical combat of an isometric CRPG in a first person game, so yeah, it’s definitely more similar to a Elder Scrolls. Though it looks like the combat in Avowed is at least somewhat intricate and entertaining, a low bar that Elder Scrolls games keep missing.
