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?

How so? I mean, vis a vis Microsoft, to be clear.

The studio was made to work on several projects at once under the new publisher, including outer worlds, Avowed, pentiment etc, all simultaneously, which is why Josh Sawyer, who is probably the best designer/writer they have at the company, didn't work on Avowed, and instead chose to work on Pentiment. Microsoft turning them into a content mill for their shitty consoles and gamepass is part of the problem.
