She hates people, she hates you, she hates picking up twigs (this is relevant) and above all she hates the church, which is important because the church is quite a significant thing in mediaeval Europe, and not something you're supposed to tell people you hate. For me, this all manifested itself as completing a series of comically mind-numbing chores for an absolutely furious old woman. This is, honestly, something I usually find to be a bit of a dirge, but Pentiment knows that if you're going to spend a many-hours-long game doing not much more than having conversations, those conversations have to be at least quite interesting - and that often the most interesting conversations are the funniest. Hedonism ultimately just felt like it suited a dropout Theologian a little better.) Your job is to solve a local murder, and in my brief time with Pentiment that generally meant walking around the village talking to people. I chose to have studied Logic and dropped out halfway through Theology, with an interest in the Occult, a mediaeval gap year to Flanders and a bit of a taste for Hedonism (although I was tempted to be a Rapscallion who liked scampering about picking fights and generally being a peevish little imp, like a kind of Dark Age Bart Simpson. Things begin in Pentiment with you choosing a background, in a fairly typical, tabletop RPG-inspired way but with a nicely in-theme twist, whereby you play as a semi-educated bloke with a choice of studies and interests. How do you write around that? Pentiment, Obsidian's surprise new thing that I am judging from an admittedly quite brief hands-on at Gamescom, seems to manage it remarkably well. It is also, above all, natural - something that so often seems impossible in games, things where you're so often controlling a character impulsively, pulling their puppet strings on a whim. This game's writing is witty, it has tempo and timing, it is genuinely, wickedly funny. Is good writing a good story? An unguessable twist? Fancy prose or deliberate themes? I'm sure I've used it at some point when what I meant to say is really: "lots of long words I don't completely understand."Īvailability: Out 15th November on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S Still, Pentiment has good writing - wonderful writing, actually - and in this case I do know what it means. ![]() Preview by Chris Tapsell Reviews Editor Published on 28 comments "Good writing" is a phrase that gets used quite often, and it can mean a lot of different things. The simmering wickedness of Pentiment's dialogue is a delight But this does not apply to the Obsidian Cape, which has no requirements to wear and is quite commonly used by those who don’t yet have a Fire Cape.The simmering wickedness of Pentiment's dialogue is a delight If you click on a link and make a purchase we may receive a small commission. ![]() To equip this set you’ll need a minimum of 60 defence. This is quite useful in PvP scenarios, as the damage boost can make the Obsidian Maul hit very hard! When wearing the helmet, platebody, and platelegs, all obsidian weapons will gain a 10% boost to melee strength and accuracy. For any players levelled up a bit higher, this process might be a little too much effort to be worthwhile.īut if you do go after the obsidian set, here’s an added bonus: So the Obsidian armour is only really worth it if you can’t afford the Bandos armour set, or if you’re using it for PvP.įor players around a level where obsidian would offer solid stats (yet also can’t get the Bandos set) then if you have the time, it could be worth going after the full Obsidian set. However, the Obsidian set provides much lower defensive stats than Bandos. Obsidian armour in Old School RuneScape is commonly obtained for its strength bonus, which is roughly the same as the Bandos set.
