welp, this might just end up being the RPG that redefines the market for em.
fantastic.
As someone that never played Fallout because I thought it was always too janky... This looks great.
I was moreso talking about the outside environments, mostly the color palette. I can see where you're coming from if you're referring to the inside environments, for sure.
The red and green combinations evoke Destiny to me, or yes, maybe No Man's Sky.
that ship flying is fucking a
that ship flying is way too slow. This game looks fun though.
I disagree. I think you can roleplay fine with voiced protagonist. Shepard is not a fixed personality in the same way that Geralt is.
Not to mention, just because you can image whatever tone or inclination with a mute protagonist, it doesn't mean the NPC you're talking to will react to it (obviously). That is, there is still a very much singular delivery that, if not spoken out loud, is implicit in the game. Ability scores checks might increase the number of lines you would need to record, but it's certainly not an impossible task, maybe a expensive one though. But depending on the size of the game, it might be cheaper than Mass Effect or The Witcher.
So happy that there is no player voice. I just hope that somehow the files become moddable. I am kind of over bullet sponges in these types of games. I usually want everyone including the player dying in 1-3 hits. It kind of turns 3D Fallout games and Far Cry 2-4 into rainbow six style games.
If not, melee looked cool.
Destiny 2 female character voice during the Forsaken story reminded me of why I always remove the player voice in Fallout 4. I am so glad that it is gone.
Also I hope that your background goes no further than "Captain". It is funny how New Vegas is the only RPG of that style where I am not immediately reaching for an alternate start mod.

Honestly the only thing I saw in that Gane Informer video i didn't like was walking with the gun out at all times. Hopefully there is a holster weapon command.
Otherwise pretty much sold.
If this is the next evolution for obsidian as they join Microsoft, wow MS got a deal

In my ideal word, most games would not have voice acting. Most of it is very bad! Even in this short gameplay footage, there are some terrible line reads. It's like no one ever lets the writers supervise the recording sessions.
The combat looks kinda mediocre, to be honest. Hoped for a unique twist to the combat or something, oh well. Passive buffs aint it. But I like being able to kill everyone!
And yeah holster that damn pistol.

God damn Obsidian is back. I'm glad MS picked them up. Excited for the future. This game looks amazing too
Man this looks great. I do prefer voiced main characters but I realize that's a minority opinion around here. :)
This game looks phenomenal as a AA-title. It just makes me really want Outer Worlds 2 with a AAA backing much more because so MUCH more could be achieved. Heck with that game, ship combat, bigger worlds, more depth, romance, good combat (343 could help with first person gunplay and Coalition will help with third person gunplay), and a much higher IQ is certainly possible.
So far of what I've noticed and heard there's 3 things I don't like. I don't like that there's no romance (I get why, but in these games it makes me more immersed), not being able to put things into a container (probably is a generic one), and how companions share the same inventory as you (which I really don't like). Besides that though, I can't wait. It's funny how a AA title looks better than BGS titles like Fallout 4, though I don't think this one is completely open world, just several open hubs.
Oh, and Obsidian (and Microsoft seeing as there was that modding platform they're going to do for Xbox and PC), please bring modding to the game.

Im with you personally, but im ok without it. Its not a deal breaker for me.
[Dumb] only seems to be an option every now and then, and you can still access all the other, supposedly intelligent, dialog options.
Guess it's there more for the humor of it than to actually roleplay as a dumbo?
I'd like to be properly dumb.

It'll be a AA-game that looks close to a AAA game. Big hubs (not sure how big honestly), but not completely open world, and so on. As I mentioned before, this just makes me want Outer Worlds 2 so much more because of an actual AAA budget and help from MS Studios in certain areas.
I'm pretty much buying everything Obsidian does, so day 0 for me. Those guys earned my trust.
I don't think that would work in something like this game, but [dumb] options are close.
In Arcanum they make all the game playable by a complete moron, and it was absolutely hillarious when your companions where trying to tell you that you are a saviour and a ressurection of a god and all you could reply to that was close to "durrr"

I only said it's a disappointment. And it is. After cinematic RPGs like Mass Effect and The Witcher, I would expect similar RPGs to have a voiced protagonist. It helps with the flow of the game and make dialogues way more organic. Non voiced protagonist can work too, as indeed they did for many games before, but we're not talking about them.
Overall I'd say it's not a big disappointment, only a significant one. But being a game with a lower budget I can understand the decision. There are other things to prioritize.
Games like Mass Effect and The Witcher have a set character. Games like Fallout and this game do not, and so having a voice actor only serves to restrict a player's ability to create a personality for their character.
well I want to talk about those fucking games
because they rule
Do we know if there's any skill checks in the combat system?
If there's dice rolls going on in the background that might explain why it looks so stiff.
it serves a design purpose, to be easier for the player to judge space, distances and position relative to the world of the game. gamedesign > realism/simulation
Seems hard to judge the gunplay based on controller gameplay from someone who didn't look like they were trying all that hard.
this is not even close (graphically)
anyways, this game has shot up right next to CP2077 for most anticipated.
I am so confident that you will be able to that frankly it is almost borderline ridiculous people are acting like it might not be.
I think there's room for a holster option as well as more animation and situational awareness when drawn so it doesn't come off quite as stiff and silly when popping in and out of conversation.
