    I realize Obsidian isn’t known for visual masterpieces, but this looks extremely dated. The original teaser also had a much darker feel to it than this trailer. Seems a lot more colorful than I expected.

    It’ll be on Game Pass, so I’ll probably check it out anyway, but this kind of dampened my expectations by a lot.

        I don’t disagree, but there are ways to use color without making everything shiny. If everything pops, nothing does, and for me personally that just felt like a little much.

        Obviously this might just be the trailer and we’ll have to wait and see what it actually looks like, but to me it feels a little like they’re trying to make up for poor texture quality by making everything 50% brighter and more saturated.

      Yeah I don’t thinks it’s the graphical fidelity necessarily but the coloring is definitely off somehow. Things that should look brighter instead look more vibrant? Saturated? Idk how to describe it but this game is gunna need reshade imo.

    Finally! I’ve been checking like every month or two for 3 years since the announcement

    Looks good, but I’m excited to see more game-play details sometime next year. At least there’s some news on the game again finally though

    Looks neat, we’ll see where it goes. Character design looks a bit poor though, especially the sorcerer/lich thing (design and animation looks like a random MMORPG)

      As a fans of pillars of eternity I know that this is going to be developed in such a way to be a bit more mainstream and get more of that support so I’m tempering my reservations, but I’m still excited to get back into this fascinating universe.
