Avowed

Avowed is good but could have been great after many minor tweaks gameplay is awesome (for an action rpg) the main story and most of the major side-quests are pretty good, but more and more of the really goofy flaws emerge when you do 100% of the content and/or your roleplaying vision doesn't align with whatever the developers intended why is giatta calling me her friend when i'm constantly degrading everything she stands for and (vaguely) insulting her at every opportunity? i hate her let me kill her (and all other animancers) or at least let me throw her out of my party why is almost every dialogue option related to steel garrote either insulting them or staying silent while they're being insulted by others? you allow me to fight by their side you allow me to (mostly) justify their actions you allow me to kill others on their behalf why can't i be nice to them for 99% of the game? why are all companions so accepting of my actions? what do you mean 'most of the time we agree', i'm literally your antithesis i stand against you at every opportunity you hate my nation and wish me gone i allowed your homeland to be destroyed why do you call me your friend??? why does the random abortion side-quest have so many dialogues and branching paths compared to most other quests? and why is there no path in which i can say "my government's law is good and i agree with it"? why can i, at most, say: "i don't agree with it, but it's the law, i'm sorry"??? i'm literally the mouthpiece of the empire why can't i argue in favor of its law? why i, the envoy of the empire, engage in fetch quests for random dudes in the middle of nowhere? shouldn't my quests be... bigger, by orders of magnitude? couldn't you come up with, like, anything? i'm pretty negative above, but Avowed is mostly good and i recommend it, especially to already existing fans of Pillars of Eternity, even if only to learn what happened after the second game

Pretty damn good game - I've enjoyed it a lot. It feels like a modern take on games like Skyrim with gorgeous graphics, deep lore and a very good movement system. The combat flows well, though for me, ranged weapons felt much better than melee, which is a little..."floaty" for a lack of a better word. NPCs and quests are top notch and all choices feel like they have an actual impact - even in the long run. At times though, the game is trying a little too hard to put the fact that "there's no black and white choices, only shades of grey!" in your face and it becomes a bit tiresome that most of your actions make you as many enemies as friends. It's realistic, but maybe not always what you want from a game. It's not a bug-free game either, though the glitches I've had were never game-breaking in any way...and I run it on Linux, so yeah, happy it runs as well as it does. Avowed is not quite in the top-tier list with games like Cyberpunk or Dark Souls 3, but it's damn close and worth a try imo.

A sloppy game with unremarkable characters, clunky combat and boring story. yet another game i wish i hadn't bought.

FINALLY ADDED DWARVES, now its worth picking up lol. Edit: Also extremely happy about them adding third person mode, I have a hard time getting into first person games so that actually made it way more enjoyable for me

Recomendado considerando lo siguiente, no es un skyrim y no tiene la profundidad de los juegos de rol anteriores (POE y NWN2). Si buscas un RPG que sea entretenido, combate entretenido, que se vea bien y no sea tan denso, este es tu juego.

This game is everything I wanted it to be. The companion banter alone is great, and the first companion you get is none other than Garrus' voice actor from Mass Effect, which was a nice treat. I found the story to be well thought out, and morally complex. The decisions you make seem to change a lot of different things in the world. Is it a little janky? Yes. Does it have a wide variety of enemies? No. Was I ever bored during combat? Very few times. I highly recommend this game and personally can't wait to see the improvements they make to it in the next one! Beautiful, and immediately replayable. I rarely play full casters or villains and I will be spending my next 100 hours doing so, to see the dark side of Avowed's well-written and morally distinct options.

Tried to push through and finish it but was just not having a good time, I don't care at all about the story, combat is pretty lame in my opinion, none of the characters really got me invested in them at all. Hope they return to making CRPGs

An excellent RPG with some amazing level design, excellent world building (especially for POE heads). The narrative as a whole is great but gets a bit dry. The quests range from decent to really great, with some very nice reactivity within the world, and the orgainc way you can stumble onto them is really well done. The combat is decent, punchy and fast but gets a bit samey as the game goes along but still not really the main draw for me. Love the art direction of the living lands and the game looks gorgeous throughout.

Don't think of it as an action RPG a la Skyrim. Think of it as a CRPG in real time with pause in first person.
