Paradox Interactive and Obsidian Entertainment have a new video forTyranny, and it walks players through the beginning portion of the successor to Pillars of Eternity that imagines a world where evil has emerged victorious. The video does show the opening moments of the game so spoiler alert!
The video takes players through the opening cinematics and sets the stage for the events of the game as they relate to the conquest of the world by the overlordKyros.
They showed offcharactercreation, where players will customize their character’s appearance and background, as well as define their startingabilities,equipment, andattributes. This portion is highly customizable and gives players a lot of freedom in choosing who their character will be.
After designing a character, the game takes players through a portion calledConquestwhich is an interactive prologue that spans 3 years of time. It plays out over an over-map and you are presented with scenarios whose outcomes you must choose. The impacts of the choices made have far reaching implications and will affect everything in the game, from beginning to end. Often many of the choices involve arbitration between competingFactionsand issues of conflict over cities.
Afterwards the video moves on to some early quests that lay the story foundation. Players can get a look at some of theweapons,items, andcompanionsin action as well as the type of dialogue choices the game will contain.
The story in Tyranny is definitive and the game’s opening certainly reinforces the big concepts players are going to be exploring. It’s a refreshing twist on the RPG convention in that it throws players right into the thick of it from the get go, and creates connections to the world changing events of the game. We can’t wait to get our hands on it when it releases November 10th on PC.

Editor at Fextralife. I look for the substantial in gaming and I try to connect video games to the emotions and stories they elicit. I love all things culture and history and have an odd fondness for the planet Jupiter. I think my dogs are pretty awesome too.
