10 years later, in a post-Baldur's Gate 3 and Avowed world, Obsidian is giving its own throwback CRPG Pillars of Eternity a turn-based combat mode

"We’ve been hard at work delving deep into the code grimoire"

GamesRadar

Pillars of Eternity is getting turn-based combat to mark its 10th anniversary, and that means PC Gamer editors will soon be arguing about combat mechanics again

Pillars of Eternity is 10 years old, but the fight over turn-based versus real-time with pause is much, much older.

All the Avowed ending choices and epilogue-affecting decisions

Breaking down all the choices big and small.

PC Gamer

I get why Obsidian doesn't like The Elder Scrolls comparisons, but Avowed is the first RPG to have its hooks in me this deep since Skyrim took over my life 14 years ago

Opinion: Eora is my new RPG home until I return to Tamriel for Elder Scrolls 6

GamesRadar

I don't care about being able to kill everybody and steal the Mayor's pants in an RPG like Avowed, and I'm tired of pretending it's mandatory

You don't have to be Skyrim to be good.

PC Gamer

Kingdom Come 2 and Avowed have revealed to me the grand unified theory of game design: A good game is when you can steal back the money you just spent at a shop, a bad game is when you can't

I've been using the RTX 5070 to play a bunch of games early, and it might be the console killing GPU I've been waiting for

My hands-on impressions with the RTX 5070 suggest the new mid-range GeForce GPU could make for an excellent console alternative under $600.

PC Gamer

Oh, and all your companions leave because they hate you.

The Decade’s Hardest-Working RPG Creator May Borrow From Final Fantasy

Obsidian wants to make a tactical RPG set in the Pillars of Eternity universe, which is a risky but excellent idea.

PC Gamer

There's hunger at Obsidian for a Pillars of Eternity Tactics game after Avowed, says studio design director Josh Sawyer, but it doesn't sound like it'd get that Baldur's Gate 3-size budget he was fantasizing about

Look, I'll just be happy to get another isometric game even half as good as Deadfire.

PC Gamer

Obsidian CEO reveals it's just half the size of many triple-A studios, even as it prepares to launch its 4th game in 5 years

Pint-size powerhouse.

GamesRadar

Josh Sawyer says there's "a lot of people" at Obsidian who want to make a Pillars of Eternity Tactics game after Avowed, but the "fanbase is not humungous"

The Fallout: New Vegas director explains the difficulty in making a Pillars Tactics

PC Gamer

Avowed could have been Obsidian's Redfall, with a Destiny plus Skyrim co-op multiplayer vision scrapped early in a grueling 6-year development

The great game we got instead is apparently selling well, with DLC and a sequel on the table.

I want choices that matter to me, not just to the game.
