Dark messiah + oblivion + something... love it

[Ricardo_Alves]

I'm glad that combat looks dynamic, and not just mashing left mouse in front of the monsters. I was worried that we'd lose all complexity in the switch to first person.

[okagisama]

Much better fluidity and impact in fights compared to the previous showcase. I'm being excited again.

[revvie]

I saw Parasitic Staff, Spirit Lance and Blackbow. Gonna be a fun time as a battlemage

[exquisitemeat]

Really like how Avowed seems to play. Not a fan of the UI, but thankfully that's customizable

[antman]

Damn, it's looking a lot better. I was kind of concerned it was going to be mostly action and very little RPG, however it looks like it has good RPG elements.

This showcase looks amazing, I hope it lives up to the expectations... Please Obsidian do your magic

[raffifl]

Pillars 2 dreadfire was one of the most underecognised RPG's of all time. Im still playing it today...

[Wombats]

Cool. After Pillars of Eternity 2 they can take my money anytime :)

[EerieV]

February going to be a busy month, Avowed and KCD 2. Two huge games coming out.

[Shadw]

So spellbook is a separate weapon, nice. Finally in an action rpg you can be a full-fledged mage with a wand and a spellbook (without those barbaric swords).

P.S. Is it just me or does the combat in this game really have a Dark Messia vibe? Either way the combat looks very intriguing.

Looks like I have JUST enough time to finally play through POE2 before this one comes out. Probably a day one purchase in our house (if there is a physical copy, that is).

[FarticusSnottington]

replaying POE to prep for this and beat POE1 recently and started POE2 and man this was such an upgrade, one of the most improved sequels of all time. I cant wait to explore the Living Lands!

[remyblas]

I started playing the Pillars of Eternity games a couple of months ago thanks to this channel, and I fell in love with the world, characters and story. That has made Avowed become one of my most anticipated games in a while, and I share the excitement when I hear news like these. I can't wait for it to be released!

[Noct_Snow]

Absolutely floored that this is a direct sequel to pillars 2. Didn’t think we’d get something like this. Cannot wait, and I hope the delay helps them complete the polish they need!

[DuxLindy]

the combat looks way better than earlier reveals, i'm pretty happy with the improvements

[EuphoriaDeep]

Loved POE, glad to see they are translating that to 1st person 3D. I hope the writing is as strong as the others, truly a high point.

[gingerdynamite]

Blood magic? This thing that was to controversial for Veilguard? :D Go go Obsidian, fingers crossed!

[jazy]

i really hope that this game will make more people check out PoE2 as i believe it is a pretty good newbie-friendly game when it comes to the cRPG genre.

[mgarl]

Not sold on this one yet, even though its made some clear improvements from when they first showed it off. My biggest worry is that the combat will essentially play like in Skyrim - which I found pretty painful even 13 years ago.
