A new video has popped up from one of the developer livestreams for Tyranny, which is the big new RPG from Paradox and Obsidian. It looks great!
Thanks for the link to it Punisher
I really hope that combat isn't as messy as it is in Pillars, that was really annoying.
About the game
In Tyranny, the grand war between good and evil is over – and the forces of evil, led by Kyros the Overlord, have won. The Overlord’s merciless armies dominate the face of the world, and its denizens must find their new roles within the war-torn realm. Players interact with the populace to inspire loyalty, disgust, or fear as they roam the world as an officer in Kyros’ forces, empowered to act as both judge and executioner.

Well not all in a literal sense :) Luckily. But I seriously am of the impression that 9:10 are.
Quoting: ColomboThey don't? Most of RPGs have different fantasy setting?
All I see are mages and knights running around in a medieval environment with castles, deep woods and dark dungeons. I call all that identical.
I guess there are nuances for those who are into fantasy (I'm not - if that's not already apparent enough :) ).
Maybe some are more "realistic" than others, some you play humans while others you can be a friggin' cat. Sure. Maybe some have dragons, others have golemns instead. Or orks. Elves or not. Yeah whatever. To me it's the same setting, the same universe, give or take a component or three. It's castles, woods and grottoes. I just know instinctively what kind of characters and stories I will encounter. Some skeletons in an abandoned mine probably. And so forth.
It could have been *so* much more varied - if only visually! They could keep the *exact* same mechanics, only wrap it up in perhaps a gothic setting, vampires and werewolves instead? Or a totally *new* universe, and not just a fork of the fantasy formula (cause it really is formulaic)?
Really, whatever but fantasy!
Or, if we should use franchises as examples: How about a Matrix like universe? Or Avatar? Transformers? Alice In Wonderland? How about anything - anything! - but yet another fantasy RPG? Wouldn't it be refreshing!
But no. Yet again, another story of the woodlands, the castles. I bet there will be a rich evil man in there. With dubious plans. And some villagers who need help from a beast that lurks nearby.

They need to give this game a different name, because every time I see it, I read it as "Tranny".

Quoting: LinasDo we actually have a confirmation for the Linux support on this one?
Quoting: DrMcCoyYes. The Steam page has Linux system requirements and an earlier press release mentioned Linux, but I can't find it at the moment. They're also reusing the same general codebase from Pillars of Eternity, so Linux support isn't a problem at all.Plus it's being published by Paradox who is a major supporter of Linux gaming.

Becausemages and knights running around in a medieval setting is defacto fantasy.
