Spiders and Focus Home Interactive are working on a new RPG, which was first revealed at E3 2019. I thought it looked interesting then, I think it looks even more interesting now. It is releasing on September 10, 2019, which is nice, because even if it's not the greatest game in the world, maybe it'll tide me over till other RPGs come out. It's $50, so it's not a full AAA title.
For those who don't know, Spiders is known for creating "eurojank"-style RPGs, similar to games like Risen, Gothic, etc.. Their games are rarely critical darlings, but they often pick up a strong, loyal fanbase who enjoys their work. Compared to their previous games, Greedfall does appear to be a large leap forward both visually (Animations/graphics) and in terms of gameplay, by giving players more ways to play, and more customization.
You can fight or talk your way through encounters, and one of the game's main features is a unique faction system.
There's also a tactical pause system, and it seems like weapons won't be levelled, but will have skill requirements (Firearms, Accuracy 2, etc.). There also seems to be a companion system as the inventory menu has a "change character" button.
