If you think this game is good

[Zymeth]

I recommend trying older RPGs, their quality in many aspects is better. For example search in youtube "Awoved Oblivion" to compare. There is a good chance you will find better, longer, cheaper games for you.

Morrowind and Oblivion were okay. At the time, they were amazing, because there was 0 competition. Once you played more games--or better yet, modded the aforementioned games--you saw how lacking they were in design.

The progression system in Morrow/Obliv is awful. You can become god-like, with everything maxed and no real type of separation or class-system. And at the end of the day they were both basically really good stealth-combat simulators. Because if you played with the magic system, it was about increasing in percentiles in damage, and not augmenting your elemental power to root/freeze/throw an enemy.

They (more so Oblivion, less so Morrowind) were pretty bare in terms of application of combat, and most dungeons were just repeats of what you have already traversed (I mean, you can walk into any dungeon and immediately know the exact layout, and even where a chest is likely to be).

And then Skyrim was unplayable without modding. In fact, Avowed is what Skyrim was trying to be, and it needed those mods to even come close. Modded Skyrim was a blast--base was pretty boring beyond a 10 hours.

I'm sorry, but what nasty posts and points are you talking about ?

You come to a game forum to say "Here are some better games you can play." I would call that gratuitously nasty, not to mention subjective.

Yeah i can see how you would find that to be "gratuitously nasty" if you are on Obsidian's payroll but most normal people would simply disagree or try to give a rational argument on why they think OP is wrong. But to be fair i can see how overcoming OP's point with a rational argument would be difficult in this situation so i can see why you chose the low road.

oh word? what's your play time?

I would just play older JRPG, any western RPG are usually bad in story writing anyway to me. There is almost no exceptions.

I don't play western RPG for story for this reasons, therefore I don't think your opinion matters.

I have too. You are insane with this take. Avowed deserves to burn compared to older games.

I got this on Bnet and the game is great so far. I’ve been playing RPGs since the early 90’s. I really don’t know what all the negativity is about. Keep this in mind, not everyone enjoys what you like. Nobody is going to follow you, jump on your little bandwagon and not play it because you don’t like it either. If you’re that emotionally invested in spreading negativity because you can’t afford the game or your life is just that miserable, I can help by giving you a little real-life advice so you can stop being depressed and make you’re life a little better. Stop being in denial and seek counseling or a psychiatrist if needed.

These woke games will fail and its the pretty obvious to the world that the left needs counseling. Sorry not sorry

i dont really get the whole "there are older games that are better go play them instead" like sure but i want to try something newer and not replay games iv already played many times over. i do enjoy seeing how different other games do things.

How did these devs make a game with a town where all NPCs are static?

Nope, it's not.

Incorrect. Reviews from both critics and people that actually played it are quite positive overall.
