Playing Avowed (lemmygrad.ml)

Thanks to Xbox Game Piss I can try out Avowed until Monster Hunter Wilds comes out.

I am not too deep into it yet. The combat is fun. Though with my bad eyesight it is kinda hard to dodge projectiles. I should look into the accessibility settings for this. My character is a wand toting mage who belongs to Ravenclaw.

The world is somewhat interesting. I think it's too close to the tropey DnD fantasy setting with guns and funghi thrown in but it is alright so far. I have come to not expect too much from AAA games in this department. Writing and voice acting are ordinary too.

Anyone else playing this?

Obsidian is an AA studio.

But they're totally fine with charging $70 for their "AA" game, Jesus. I will admit I don't know much about Avowed in particular but as someone who's played Pillars and Deadfire, seeing this release and the response be either mixed/negative or just obsidian fans downplaying it's shortcomings as "AA" is really irritating. They shouldn't charge this much after developing it for so many years only to put out a low quality title.
