    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.

      Colour is good. Wasting our 4K/HDR screens on gray and browns is a waste.

        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.

          I think maybe I still have PTSD from the PS360 era that makes me defend it’s use so much, lol

    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.
