One of many issues that units Pillars of Eternity aside from different video games is the sheer breadth and depth of its world. Whereas confined to a comparatively small space of its world, Eora, it spoke of occasions and ideas throughout your entire setting. Its sequel expanded even additional, heading to the Deadfire Archipelago for an journey of a completely completely different timbre, however there’s nonetheless lots extra to come back. Avowed will present a brand new facet to the world however developer Obsidian has additionally been contemplating getting in a brand new course, with a Pillars of Eternity techniques recreation floating across the workplace.
In an interview by the Restrict Break Community with veteran recreation designer Josh Sawyer, the developer revealed that the concept of a Pillars of Eternity techniques recreation is one thing that’s introduced up usually at Obsidian. The RPG is a fertile floor for enlargement, as seen with Avowed, and given its Baldur’s Gate-esque strategic interface it does really feel like a tactical fight recreation can be a pure match.
“There have been a lot of individuals on the studio who’ve floated the concept of a Pillars techniques recreation,” Sawyer says within the interview. “Ways video games are attention-grabbing to me they usually occupy a very attention-grabbing house within the market as a result of the viewers for them isn’t big, sometimes, however very passionate. People who find themselves into SRPGs, tactical RPGS, they’ll play a number of them even when they’re not that good.”
He then goes into some context about why, regardless of the concept of a Pillars of Eternity techniques recreation being compelling, it persists in not making it previous the concept stage. “The cap on it isn’t big, there are breakout hits after all, Hearth Emblem is one that individuals usually consider,” he says. “It’s one thing that individuals have talked about and considered, it’s a tough one to make a case for, like, how large ought to or not it’s what ought to the dimensions of the group be, and each infrequently we’ll deliver it up and be like, oh possibly, I don’t know, we might, possibly.”
So regardless of a Pillars of Eternity techniques recreation wanting prefer it makes absolute sense as an idea, it might show tough to make a case for – no less than on the enterprise facet. That stated, there may be hope, as Sawyer says that it might occur, “possibly sometime.” When, and if, it does occur, I’ll be first in line to seize it, as a techniques recreation set in a world of that depth feels like a dream come true, no less than for nerds like myself.
