It's what I hoped Obsidian would have with Avowed when we only began to know of it's existence, since that was coming off the back of a franchise that returned to more old-school RPG mentality. Since Avowed was actually revealed, it's more like they went in the direction of Skyrim with possibly even more streamlining and lack of consequence. It seems only independant studios are willing to appeal to the dreams of people who still yearn for the freedom and creativity of classics like Daggerfall. Not sure why that goes away suddenly once these studios get the huge budget and supposed security of a major publisher. |
Yeah, I’m looking at Wayward Realms with a Mt Everest size of doubt. I get that it’s being developed by the leads of Daggerfall, primarily Julian Lefay, which he even admitted he didn’t get to add everything he wanted to in Daggerfall that he hopes to be able to add in Wayward Realms, but we’re talking upwards of best RPG of all time level promises…..and those types of promises practically never land.
Avowed was originally going to be like Skyrim, but development was rebooted and it’s now going to be like The Outer Worlds in a fantasy setting. An established fantasy setting at least though. Obsidian had already started early development on Avowed, so it was something they were wanting to work on and Obsidian has been able to work on 2 passion projects in Grounded and Pentiment, so hopefully they were wanting to just make something a bit pulled back before diving back into something far deeper and creative. I’m personally hoping for a Tyranny 2.
