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?
I like how, in playing as the Emperor’s hand, you can steer Aedyran policy away from colonial expansionism. I like that it’s realistic about how much you can push it, while at the same time you can be very anti-imperial in the privacy of your conversations with the dream voice. I have a feeling there’s gonna be some cool ending options, based on those convos and Obsidian’s track record.
That’s cool. A reviewer I like watching said that he liked the weight of the choices made and how it impacted the ending, so I have hope it will be good in that regard.
