Avowed will be getting 3rd person camera, now it looks like a game I will play. First person camera is good for shooters, but melee weapons don't work that well, too sensitive to distance to the enemy. Personally didn't like the world of Pillars of Eternity where the Avowed will be set. It's too shallow and look too generic, not distinguishable enough from other fantasy settings. First Pillars of Eternity was breath of fresh air, return to old school RPGs. Second game had no face, totally forgettable. I wish Avowed to expand the world and add something unique to it. Obsidian did manage to deliver great games before. Neverwinter Nights 2 was almost as good as Dragon Age: Origins. Tyranny had very unique story. Pentiment is truly marvellous.

Had hopes for this game because Obsidian usually provide consistent quality RPGs. Outer Worlds was very decent game. Neverwinter Nights 2 was amazing and its add-on Mask of the Betrayer is the very definition of art. Of course, it's still in development and this is very early trailer, but it reminded me how bad close combat is in 1st person games. It was true for every Elder Scrolls game, it's still true today. Now the hope is to get a good story and decent visuals. Still going to play it.
