Just as Mehrunes Dagon is responsible for the Oblivion Crisis, Eothas is behind one of the biggest events in the Pillars of Eternity timeline, The Saint’s War. The Saint’s War took place between the Free Palatinate of Dyrwood and the Divine Kingdom of Readceras, a theocratic dictatorship led by Saint Waidwen, a prophet of Eothas who became his avatar until he was killed by a bomb at the Battle of Halgot Cita<br><br><br>Mehrunes Dagon and Eothas are deities with extremely different aesthetics. The former is a relatively archetypal devil figure, associated with fire, natural disasters, and destruction. The latter, on the other hand, is associated with light and renewal, as well as natural, rather than violent death. However, the fact that both are associated with the symbol of the dawn is telling. In both canons, these deities are associated with coming revolution and cyclical destruction. Eothas leads holy revolution in the Saint's War, and while Dagon's attack on the Imperial City fails it ends the Septim bloodline, birthing a new <br><br><br>Obsidian Entertainment may have shocked its biggest fans when it had not one, not two, but three projects at the Xbox Series X showcase. Proving it is a powerhouse for Microsoft, Obsidian revealed upcoming DLC for the Outer Worlds , a new launch trailer for Grounded , and its next big Obsidian RPG, Avowed . However, one look at Avowed practically echoes The Elder Scrolls , and given Obsidian and Bethesda's history, this is not surpris<br><br><br>Now, Avowed is probably a good couple of years out. Obsidian Entertainment still has one more DLC in the works for The Outer Worlds after the Peril on Gorgon releases, and the launch of Grounded to facilitate.

As such, the end of Deadfire left Eora in a state of rebuilding from the sudden chaos that the gods created. However, the state of Eora post- Deadfire might not even matter - the time period that Avowed takes place in could be long before or after anything in Pillars of Eternity , or the Living Lands could be so far removed from the rest of the world that there's little mention of the previous games' eve<br><br><br>Pillars of Eternity was Obsidian's love letter to the old isometric RPG genre, including games like the Baldur's Gate saga; Avowed , on the other hand, looks like it'll be quite different - more in the vein of Skyrim and the forthcoming Elder Scrolls 6 . Nevertheless, using Pillars of Eternity 's Eora for the setting of Avowed is an interesting move, as there's already a whole treasure trove of established lore waiting to be expanded upon.

Obsidian's strength also falls in the same area as Bethesda, but the relationship between the two eventually went south. This has turned into a rivalry of sorts if only in the eyes of fans, as many see The Outer Worlds as a response to Bethesda's Fallout , and now it seems Avowed is just that to The Elder Scrolls 6 . Of course, this begs the question: when Obsidian and Bethesda go head to head, who wins? (besides fans of R
Obsidian’s success with first-person RPGs led to its release of The Outer Worlds in 2019, a sci-fi RPG set in space with much of the satirical anti-capitalist wrappings which defined Fallout ’s early years. And the reveal trailer for Avowed , a first-person fantasy game that strongly resembles The Elder Scrolls, shows a first-person view of an adventurer holding a sword in their right hand while preparing a spell with their left, a moment which closely resembles Skyrim ’s combat system rendered in next-generation graphics.

The metaphysical event continued on its own for thousands of year before the Engwithans (a civilization that came before the current inhabitants of Eora) siezed control of the process by building a great machine at the heart of Ukaizo, to the point that the previously natural cycle of rebirth began to rely upon the machines to function.

Despite the devs having to work in Bethesda’s new first-person format rather than Fallout 2 ’s top-down perspective, the game was a huge critical success, and many consider New Vegas one of the best games in the ser
