WTF? Delete this and go to development

Woman game director...

It's an Alpha Gameplay 🙂

looks nice

Will the game only have first person perspoctive? Or will it also have option in settings to choose third person perpective or other the shoulder like in the Witcher3?

I just don’t see this being as strong as The Outer Worlds, to be honest. The living Lands as a continent is an Interesting setting but people can be easily turned off by how “ typical fantasy” it looks, at least in my opinion.

The combat looks like it could use a bit more time considering this is 2024 release. The characters and dialogue look a little dated as well, especially considering the level that The Outer Worlds Spacets Choice edition and Starfields characters look.

Obsidian is The BEST in RPG industry 🤙

Starfield 2.0? I hope this isnt another overhyped crap game.

I am so fucking hyped for this Game except the combat looks very off other than that I’m very excited for the open world and the story One of my favorite games of all time was fallout new Vegas, so I have very high hopes for this game to be similar

Wow I was way more excited for this game before watching this :/

can we please get a single rpg that has actual classes?
why of all the modern rpgs only wow can actually make it?
i want to play as rogue or *mage*, not as a "priest-type dark magic paladin with great stealth and lockpicking proficiency"
it's called role-playing for a reason, you know

it looks so bad...

the combat seems very boring and insignificant, do something about weapon impact and enemy responsiveness

Dialogue seems terribly bland, soldiers insulting a character by calling them a baby.... needs edge, and gritty realism.

Combat looks a little wonky and off. And the accents of the characters throw me wayyy off , it seems to Break immersion for its type of game and where in time it takes place.

I hope the ai is not dumb. the npcs look like bots
looks very promising.

looks more like Vermintide

It looks fun, but enemy encounters don't look very exciting. I hope they can give them more weight and less rigid movements. Combat never felt right in the outer worlds for me. I hope y'all nail it this time. Very excited

Guy keeps using the word Beautiful to describe the world and that's the opposite of what I'm seeing. Looks too much like Elder Scrolls, dark, muted colors and boring environments.

Absolute shit show, embarrassing quality. I've seen Chinese mug you off dev teams using better animations than this. 4 and a half fucking years. THIS. IS. EMBARASSING.

4+ years for this? What a waste of your time

Seem's nothing special to me 😢

Josh(!), tell your colleagues to get inspiration from games like Kingdom Come Deliverance, Chivalry, Dark Messiah of Might & Magic, TCoR EFBB and Arkane games.
Sliding weightless across the environments and hitting things at 50 FOV with little to NO impact is NOT the way to do it, man...
Signed: your old timer friend, The PC Gamer.

I hope this doesn't end up like The Outer Worlds with the goofy, kiddie, one and done vibe. Don't get me wrong, The Outer Worlds was cool but nothing I cared to revisit after completing it.

I dunno, kinda has a tech demo feel.

I hope it turns out well tho.

Animations and impact of combat looks to need improvement

Game looks bad

переделайте, на темное фентези. Я вообще-то ждал СКАЙРИМ 2

The game looks exactly like elder scrolls blades ( that mobile game they forgot about)

I think it's because there's absolutely no hud but to me it looks exactly the same

Mid

It looks so damn beautiful!

Awsome!! Same game we’ve played a million times before. Your stupid marketing won’t work this time Micro$oft. I’m out.

Honestly if this is just skyrim but 10% better combat and a story with actual choice like new vegas, I will be playing the shit out of this

First person no thanks

I hope they don't make the enemies too easy to defeat

hype

Our man Gabriel looks like he was original prototype for oblivion’s npc’s.
And the way the voice actors sound like they are people from the beach at LA or the projects really takes me out of the emersion of the game

This has got a one and done gamepass vibe. What about outer worlds made them think anoth first person rpg would work. 1st person rpgs suck.... This is not poormans skyrim, looks more like poormans Greedfall.
Microsoft need to keep and eye on what these studios are spending the money on.... Arcane and now Obsidian phoning it in.

First-person is a big no for me, so I guess I'll pass this one.

Environments and art style remind me of Kingdoms of Amalur in some cases... 🤔

Why do developers keep getting rid of classes? It’s what makes games interesting

Looks absolutely fantastic.

combat animation gives me sea of thieves vibes

Avowed net

Avowed.
The world looks good, the swords and melee weapons look great & the magic looks superb…but…

Perspective.
My first complaint is… First person SHOOTERS/stealth games are great… First person melee combat games are terrible.
Any melee combat game should 100% be third person, to have the option to enter first person to loose arrows from a bow or crossbow just like in Skyrim/NV is just perfection, but for melee combat, be it in a battle or a single combat duel you need to see your entire body and the fluid movements in order to have proper melee encounters.
Just like how I despise 3rd person shooters, any melee centred game that is 1st person, I will not play.

Combat.
There is absolutely no impact in the combat, no blood, no wounds, not sence of actual battle. It is just a detailed object that you swing your weapon at/hit with magic. It does not feel like you are in combat with another living being, about to take its/his/her life… they are just shapes..targets that you attack untill they fall over… it is so stale and nurtured.

Setting decision and it’s rules.
My second complaint: They want to create a Medieval fantasy setting like Skyrim/LOTR … but they add flint lock pistols (Gun powder firearms from 300 years after Medieval times) to the game, the only reason for that is to make players feel powerful without the need for the devs to use imagination / ingenuity.
Skyrim/the Witcher is so perfect because they are focussed, they have limitations (No guns) they feel grounded and real just in a fantasy world…just like LOTR.
There is no need to invent firearms in a fantasy world where MAGIC fulfils the purpose that firearms provide in our world.

If you want to have guns in game, then create a 17th century fantasy game like ‘’Creed fall’’.
Don’t make a Medieval themed game and then add non medieval elements just for the sake of power and due to a lack of imagination.
I do not want tanks nor aircraft in a Medieval setting (Fantasy or realistic) , likewise I do not want gunpowder firearms from the 1700s AD either.

Voice Acting.
A game set in a medieval/historical setting has cultural connections associated with it.. A medieval setting can have Factions and NPCS/Characters that speak a wide variety of languages or , to showcase the diversity of cultures, a wide variety of English accents.

You can have British accents, French accents ,Norse, German, Polish , Russian,Hungarian,Albanian, North African , Turkish,Middle Eastern, Chinese, Japanese,Mongolian and central/Southern African , hell you can even have Aztech , Mayan & Incan cultures and accents allocated to different factions and their connected NPCs… but to have an NPC in a Medieval themed game stand in front of you and speak with a Murican Brooklin,Alabama,CA,New York,Canadian accent… just reeks of a lack of imagination,intellect,vision and a true passion by the devs for their Medieval game.

It is so jarring to see a fellow with medieval armour, a sword/mace/what have you, and have them speak / sound just like any everyday modern Murican. (Because ofcourse in Murica the entire world revolves around and is USA USA USA).

I will not be playing this game.

looks like you guys have been busy cooking nothing the fans want! glad to see that this “new” title looks more choppy than New Vegas and more slow than it too!

Everything that comes out of every Obsidian Fanboy: FUCK BETHESDA, FUCK BETHESDA FUCK BETHESDA, and oh yeah I forgot to mention FUCK BETHESDA!

Me: yeah I can understand why you feel that way…

I like what I see but the combat. Something feel off, weightless or wispy.

The combat looks terrible
