The World of Eora is a news & lore podcast about the fantasy setting created by Obsidian Entertainment for their cRPG series, Pillars of Eternity, and their action RPG: Avowed.This week is an unorthodox episode. I don't discuss a lore topic so much as I discuss a form of roleplaying in video games that I've enjoyed since I was a youth. At the time I didn't have a name for it, but as I grew I began calling it "algorithmic roleplaying", which some have asked me about. So I made this episode to outline how it works (for me), and maybe it'll inspire you to try your own as well...worldofeora@gmail.com@worldofeorako-fi.com/worldofeora

The World of Eora is a news & lore podcast about the fantasy setting created by Obsidian Entertainment for their cRPG series, Pillars of Eternity, and their action RPG: Avowed.This week we conclude our look at the Knights of the Crucible, which we overviewed last week. First encountered in Pillars of Eternity, they are one of three main quest factions that you can engage with to gain clout within the city of Defiance Bay. They began as Blacksmiths trained in Combat, and were instrumental in the War of Defiance. A war which garnered the Dyrwood's independence from their mother nation, Aedyr. Now that we know their history, what are their ranks like? And how do you move up through them? That's the focus on today's episode.

Whether it’s watching your kids play their local club fixtures or gathering around the telly for the grand final, sport brings Australians together more than almost anything else. But there’s a hidden – and potentially deadly – cost. Associate Professor Michael Buckland studies the brain, and through the Australian Sports Brain Bank, he examines the brains of athletes who’ve passed away. He’s worried by just how many brains come into the bank and are revealed to have CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy. It’s a degenerative brain disease caused by repeated head impacts over a long period of time. In other words, the kind of thing that might happen if you’ve been playing collision sports since you were a kid. Michael explains how our understanding of CTE has changed in recent years, its causes, and most importantly, how we can mitigate the risk of CTE for all athletes, of all ages.

When Professor Jioji Ravulo speaks at conferences overseas, he knows one piece of information about his work will shock just about everyone. He tells them that in some parts of Australia, children as young as 10 years old can be charged as adults for particular crimes. As predicted, jaws drop. Meanwhile, some politicians insist that Australia needs to be even tougher on youth crime, despite the evidence Jioji and his peers have been seeing for years. Jioji says the punitive approach we currently use in Australia doesn’t just fail to ensure public safety, it actually hurts children. Jioji advocates for a youth justice model that instead looks at the whole context of a young person who’s committed a crime, and prioritises rehabilitation. +++The Solutionists is podcast from the University of Sydney, produced by Deadset Studios.

Our bodies have an innate ability to tell the time – it evolved so that we were inclined to rest when it was safe, and were keener on travelling or hunting and gathering when food was plentiful. The sun and our body’s ability to perceive its light kept our internal clocks ticking along consistently. But today, many of us spend most of our days indoors, and much of our nights in artificial light. We’ve confused our internal clocks, and that can wreak havoc on our bodies and minds. Dr Jacob Crouse is on a mission to improve the lives of people living with depressive and bipolar disorders – and it turns out light may be one of the keys to fulfilling that mission.

Growing food is one of our most fundamental human activities, and it’s the core puzzle underlying our societies. As more people are freed up from farm work, our societies grow and we need yet more food. Today, that tricky equation also includes robots. Australia faces a labour shortage in the agriculture sector for a variety of reasons, and the already razor-thin margins on many farms are only growing sharper. Enter: AI, sensor drones, self-driving tractors and a whole host of other high-tech tools. But are they too costly for smaller farms? What happens when a multi-tonne robot dies in the field? And what kind of workers will these robotic farms of the future need to run smoothly? Professor Salah Sukkarieh, the Professor of Robotics and Intelligent Systems, has been at the forefront of robotics for twenty years. His own machines have been used on Australian farms, and his sights are also set internationally, where he hopes powerful machines will help self-subsistence farmers keep up. He explains what’s happening on Aussie farms already, how farm owners are managing the tech transition, and shines some light on the advancements to come. +++ The Solutionists is podcast from the University of Sydney, produced by Deadset Studios.

Can you be friends with someone who doesn’t know you exist? It’s a legitimate question for members of fandoms – groups of people brought together by a shared passion for an artist, sports team, celebrity or piece of media. At the centre of these groups is a parasocial relationship: a one-sided connection with a public figure. If you’ve heard the term before, it probably hasn’t been in a positive light... Dr Georgia Carroll, an expert on fan culture and Australia’s go-to scholar on Taylor Swift, says the way we understand parasocial relationships is a bit lop-sided. “Parasocial relationships are just one part of our social worlds, and they can be a really healthy, identity-building piece of the pie.” But that’s not to say they can’t go wrong. Georgia explains what happens at the extreme ends of the parasocial spectrum, and outlines how social media and artificial intelligence are rapidly changing the nature of these relationships. She also unpacks Taylor Swift’s highly lucrative marketing strategy and how it purposely leans into parasocial connections with fans. +++ The Solutionists is podcast from the University of Sydney, produced by Deadset Studios.

The World of Eora is a news & lore podcast about the fantasy setting created by Obsidian Entertainment for their cRPG series, Pillars of Eternity, and their action RPG: Avowed.This week is more of a "stream of consciousness" talk, with lore discussed throughout. A looooong time ago I talked about infusing the world of Eora into tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons (specifically 5th Edition). However, what if you were playing games more in line with the OSR ("Old School Renaissance") style of play, such as Cairn, which I've recently gotten into. It's a much less measured approach, but one that seems more intuitive...and one that seems easier with Avowed, I might add.So I discuss the biggest ideas in Eora that we see in the games that need to be considered when approaching OSR style TTRPGs. This might be the first in a couple episodes dedicated to this topic, but it won't be a long-running thing, since we want to focus on different lore here over time.

Bit of a mouthful I know, but it's something I was wondering about in a recent playthrough. Avowed is a much more different game than Pillars of Eternity, and so the presentation of the Living Lands as a vibrant place in this fantasy world will also be different. So what I do on this episode is look at Living Lands lore from PoE1&2, and ask "Did we see something like that in Avowed?"worldofeora@gmail.com@worldofeorako-fi.com/worldofeora

This week I briefly cover the topic of "Soul Twins", and also "soul maladies" at large. I was inspired by a specific quest in early Avowed (though I don't specify the quest, just to keep its twist a surprise for those who might not have found it) to discuss Soul Twins. Which are, as they sound, when two people share two halves of the same soul. Using this I also springboard into other soul maladies, such as "hollowborn" (being born without a soul), or having a "weak soul" (which is essentially a soul that has lost some of its "matter").

In this episode, we dive into Avowed, the upcoming RPG from Obsidian Entertainment. This game promises to offer a unique experience, combining a structured, linear world with immersive combat and a strong emphasis on story. We explore how the weighty combat mechanics and the game's more focused, structured world differ from the sprawling open-world experiences many RPGs offer.One of the most exciting aspects of Avowed is its combat. The game leans into a real sense of weight and impact with every attack. The combat feels deliberate and strategic, with each strike and spell having a tangible effect on enemies. There's a heavy emphasis on tactical decision-making, with real-time action combined with elements that require players to pause and consider their next move. This blend of fluid combat and thoughtful strategy gives the game a sense of depth that is missing in many other RPGs.Unlike many modern RPGs that lean heavily into massive open worlds, Avowed presents a more linear, structured environment. The world is expansive but intentionally designed to guide players through rich environments with a strong narrative backbone. Instead of sprawling expanses with endless side missions, the game offers more focused exploration, which means every area has a purpose in the overall story. This design approach allows for more detailed, handcrafted locations and a deeper, more engaging experience where each moment feels important.Additionally, Avowed is being developed using Unreal Engine 5, which means players can expect stunning visuals and cutting-edge technology. The engine's capabilities allow for realistic lighting, detailed textures, and a world that feels alive and immersive. With UE5, the game promises to deliver smooth animations, lifelike environments, and impressive effects that will bring the world of Eora to life in ways we've never seen before.If you're a fan of RPGs with tactical combat, a structured world that doesn't overwhelm you, and cutting-edge visuals, Avowed could be your next big adventure. Tune in to see if it's a Game Pass or Pass!
