Obsidian Reinvents RPGs with Newest IP ‘Tyranny’

There’s been a lot of talk about Obsidian’s newest IP Tyranny, a classic RPG game where your choices have much more of an impact on the game than you think.  The game has a twist over most modern RPG games; the fact that the battle versus good and evil has already taken place and evil has won.  Since evil has ready won, your choices can literally change the game as well as the landscape so that people will either fear you as an oppressor or praise you as a leader.  You are under the rule of Kyros the Overlord, and seeing as he is a very busy man, you and your team are tasked with interacting with the population to inspire certain emotions and judgments.  The game presents itself as a completely new world with lore and characters completely new to anything that Obsidian has ever created.  You have the option to follow many different paths that show off Tyranny’s new combat mechanics as well as the presentation that differs it from your average PC role-playing game.
