So I’m definitely not going to be skipping Xbox Two going forwards as a few have suggested here. Think Rand’s take on it was excellent in his own video, and also thought how he broke it down with Jez and have him just the right amount of shit without being harsh was perfectly pitched.

But listened this morning, and he pretty graciously backed down on his take and admitted it was an emotional knee jerk reaction when it came to the CD/Perfect Dark take that wasn’t properly thought through. Given how people are carrying on here, I was expecting him to have doubled down in Xbox Two. You will have swords, shields, pistols, magical spells, and more at your disposal, including the ability to dual wield, creating a vast number of combinations to choose from.I think some are being a bit harsh on Jez. We’ve incorporated a host of ways for players to fight the flora and fauna of the Living Lands. In regards to the first-person combat, Urquhart said, “first-person combat has been a huge focus for us. Around every corner there are creatures, sentient mushrooms, or tribes of lizard-like Xaurips looking to make you their next meal.” Every part of the Living Lands is home to its own ecosystem. “Unique to the world of Eora, the Living Lands is home to bustling port towns and rolling hills adorned with weird and fantastical plant life.

The Living Lands are full of mysteries and secrets, danger and adventure, and choice and consequences.” “In Avowed, you’ll explore the Living Lands, a plagued, wild island set in the world of Eora. The Pillars games are near and dear to us and we can’t wait to share Avowed with everyone next year,” said Urquhart. “Expanding the universe that we created for the original Pillars of Eternity games, Avowed brings a new perspective, a new way to fight, and a new land to explore in the world of Eora. Speaking in more detail on Xbox Wire, studio head at Obsidian Feargus Urquhart offered lots of details about what was seen. In the footage, players got to see Kai, one of the first companions, how Obsidian created the first-person combat system, and the world of the Living Lands. Obsidian Entertainment showed off the first ever gameplay for their upcoming fantasy game Avowed at the Xbox Games Showcase.
