Avowed
I need questions answered aka a honest review
So I'm curious about the game, would like honest feedback. NO ANTI WOKE BS. Woke has lost its meaning because its too "woke" these days to these peeps. Lol. So don't even bother to try to sell me a dead horse argument. Anywho my questions are simple and spoilers are totally fine with me.
1) how does it do graphic and handling wise. Is it glitchy at all especially on steamdeck?
2) customization for armor/clothing is there dying options, also is the armor plain realistic fantasy or fun fantasy with dresses, sexy looks, even silly armor?
3) flirty dialogue; I know there isn't romance in it. But can you flirt in dialogue for fun like getting discounts from keeps or finding out information from npcs. It's fun being a flirty mess in games. If not flirty really just any sassy dialogue options would make me happy.
That's all my questions. Thanks for taking the time to anwser in advance

The game is good but not ground breaking is how I would put it
I've been playing it on gamepass for 60 hours since early access
Done 2 playthrough as a warrior and a mage

Pros:
-Exploring is fun and rewarding with all kinds of unique item and buff
-I really like the skyrim style combat, lots of different build and weapon but the lvling is kinda slow resulting in gatekeeping higher rank skill to end game only
The story and choice you make is nice, giving you a lot of change in the playthrough, I did one lawfull good and one bad guy
-You can take the time to develop your companion friendship, giving you additional passive point but it's not forced upon you if you want to skip long conversation
-Don't want to get into long conversation to resolve conflict with npc? In most case you can chose to kill them from the get go
-I wasn't familiar with the lore but I liked it
-I didn't run in any game breaking bugs but some little incovenience

It does lack :

- Ennemy respawn, once you clear a map there is no point in hanging around if you want to grind more before going through the main mission
- Npc interactivity, you'll get into a fight in the middle of a city with the guards just standing by, no steal mecanics, not being able to attack anybody you ain't supposed to, overall a lack of freedom that other game like this provide
- No end game : once you finish the main story it's game over you can't go back to finish side quest, exploring and that's really sad


As I said good game but not worth 70€ imo
Worth playing it on gamepass? Yeah a good 30 hours average playthrough I would say with great combat and exploration, overall fun


As for your questions
1 - idk i don't have a steam deck but i didn't have any issue on pc
2 - not armor customization, the armor look like regular fantasy rpg armor
3 - You can flirt with some npc for fun but it has no repercussion in the game

hope that helps

1) I'm rocking a 4090 so I might not be able to best tell you how great performance is but I'm playing 1440 and it never waivers from 120 fps. Steam deck is playable at low settings and 1st person plays slightly better than 3rd. Going in cities is iffy on frame rate but ok if you can deal with frame rate dips.
2) i haven't found a way to dye clothes and I'm not far enough to find anything "sexy" There is transmog for armor buts not individual pieces. You are transmoging your whole armor set or nothing. As you upgrade armor from one rarity to another, armor will change its look entirely as well. They get better looking overtime and you can see what they look like beforehand. You can even transmog plate armor onto light armor if you want to look tankier. Because being a godlike is most representative on the main characters head, there are no helmet options.
4) I'm sure there flirty speaking responses. You can be a jerk, be nice, give sarcastic responses, threaten people, or some bookish from way what I've seen so far. Flirty responses wouldn't be to far of a leap. As a matter of fact, sometimes responding with a response. that looks good can still work against you. For example, there is a quest where you grab a thing for a lady. If you have the scholar background, and use the scholar response to identify what you got her because you recognize the thing, she actually gets mad at you for saying it outlook because "the walls have ear." Which i thought to be interesting.
You are going to be bored in a few hours. Trust.
a meh out of 10. Will be forgotten about in a few months.

I will give you one example and you can be the judge. You can use friendly NPC as shields in combat they don't move and you can't hurt them. But mushrooms on the face was a priority.

If you are a real gamer that should tell you all you need to know.

If you are woman, poc, midget, furry, lgbt representative- you wil love this game. If you are stright white male- you will do a refund.
Game could have been vanilla for base game and added the extreme crazy flavour DLC's if there are some people so pashionate about it, but why make this extreme eye-sore for the main game?
Game has some good ideas from MM6-8 era, but spending 70 h on extremist esg content is a stretch.

Thanks so much for this information! Usually armor wise I like to go on the dresser side. And what I have seen gives me a few doubts but I'm still willing to try the game. But need to get it on sale though. Thanks again!

They didn´t ask that. Most normal people don´t need to be part of a hive to make their own oppinions and enjoy the games they want to enjoy.

right. so why even ask for a review? not to get someone else's opinion right?

the concurrent player count shows how many people are actively enjoying and playing the game. it gives insight into the game's quality irregardless of people's political leanings.

Yea but it doesn't anwser my questions. It doesn't tell me about my options in armor, it won't show me dialogue options and it doesn't give me a taste of how others genuinely think of it. So.... yea.

Your message history is public, anyone can see you´ve being several days here calling the game "woke", now you´re gonna try to gaslight this person in to beliving the game should be bad cause "hey people play other games", guess that means we all should be playing DOTA 2?

Weak bait, try again. Don´t with me though, blocked. I already know your oppinion on all games, no need to listen to it ever again.

Normal is subjective what's normal to the spider is chaos to the fly. Further you have a waddles profile picture mables pet on gravity falls a show mind you about abnormalities and how "normal" is boring when compared to the freedom of the self. Also everything is anti woke these days. A white man with brown eyes is too "woke" God forbid he only wears pink. Yall are like the missionaries of the annoying. Good day to you.
1) I wouldn't try running any UE5 game on deck, this is very polished as UE5 games go, possibly the smoothest, best optimised performance yet of any one. But I cannot imagine a Deck even hitting 24fps in it.

2) There's a transmog system. Some of the armour looks ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ridiculous and makes you look like a clown.

3) Plenty opportunities for inconsequential flirtatious dialogue.
