Will you curate evil or will you let it devour the land?

<span class="bold">Tyranny</span>, the dark isometric RPG from Pillars of Eternity creators Obsidian, is looming on the horizon. It's the story of how Kyros, the evil overlord, has conquered the world and is now enforcing her will upon the people. With your help!
In the wake of the recently completed Gamescom, more details on how Tyranny works have surfaced and they are bound to make all aspiring enforcers of evil anxious for the game, coming day-one to GOG.com.

When comparing the game to Pillars of Eternity, Brian Heins, game director of Tyranny, said that this time around they are "focusing on a smaller game with a higher level of reactivity to player choices". He expects people to need around 25 hours for a full playthrough, but promises that going through the game a second (or even third) time is going to be a fundamentally different experience, should players choose to mix up their choices.

<span class="bold">Tyranny</span> is going to include over 800.000 words (across all story branches), so if you want to practise your reading, go ahead and absorb the information Brian Heins shared <span class="bold">in his interview with GameBanshee</span>.

Or, if you are more the audiovisual type, listen to him talking to the Rocket Beans guys below:

Magic_Of_Light: Am I not allowed to have an opinion without getting trolled by people?

Punkoinyc: You referred to the game as a "godless piece of trash", and you're accusing me of being a troll? Take a look in the mirror, pal.
I keep forgetting that on the internet you arent allowed to have an opinion without getting trolled by people who disagree. No discussion, just name calling and high school bla bla. Thanks for reminding me.

If you were as "good" as you claimed, you would turn the other cheek. But, we know that won't happen don't we?

Magic_Of_Light: Im not on a high horse, but I dont like being forced to make evil decisions.
No one is forcing you to do anything - you have the option to not buy the game. Not all games are aimed at all people, and there's nothing wrong with that. Variety is a good thing. Trying to please everyone rarely results in anything interesting.

You are also not allowed to disagree with someone without being called a troll...

Magic_Of_Light: Well, I can tell you this. A game that basically forces you to be evil, or let evil win. Is a game ill never own. Some people loathe that. And by making it only in that dimension instead of having the option, is like shooting yourself in the foot. Way to botch it. Maybe the next game wont be a godless piece of crap. Sometimes evil wins, when good men do nothing. If I cant have the option to defeat evil, its a game that belongs in the garbage.

They should never have made it this way.
From the various developer interviews and previews released - there are many paths you can take. One of them is joining the rebels fighting against Kyros and essentially being a good guy. You also can be a scion of evil and plunge the world into deeper darkness. Or you can just be a bastard who makes decisions that piss everybody off - basically just troll the entire world.
