here is the game summary, i just finished it yesterday, it took me 15 hours to finish it.
>you are a godlike (a person blessed by a god)
>there is a fungus plague turning people into zombies
>the fungus plague is started by a "GOD OF CHANGE" with they/them pronouns called "Sapadal".
>"change is good i like change im they/them"
at this point i canceled most of the dialogue, and sided with the maga homophobic inquisitor.
>cant really be her ally, game doesnt let you
>inquisitor attacks you anyway
>kill the maga inquisitor
>end-game talk scene a-la mass effect star child scene "pick an ending"
>its very difficult to find all the dialogue options that let me kill the tranny god
>NOOO NOOO THEY THEM IS GOOD WHY KILL THEY THEM
>i killed the tranny god
>turns out the inquisitor is alive
>kill the inquisitor again
>end credits roll
i rate Avowed: 2/10.

The abortion pills secondary quest almost made me delete this game.
this is an RPG, supposedly, and the writing is 1/10.
>if avowed was made in 1999
the abortion pills quest:
>i got the baby-killing pills, bitch, now gimme my money
but avowed was released in 2025:
>this is very controversial lets talk about it!
>yes yes very controversial, much issue, new aedyran government hates abortion!
>they made abortion illegal!
>companions look at me and nod "uh-huh, that was very bad!"
>we need abortion for our freedom!
>10 dialogue options to discuss abortion
>the "worst" option to pick is "yeah i guess i didnt really think about it"
You can later report her to the authorities and get her locked up, but then you get an even worse preaching propaganda sermon from the team that im a maga fascist asshole and i broke her freedoms of whoring and aborting babies.

I finished it when it came out. for the good, I thought the story was good and your dialogue and quest choices affected the game as much as new vegas (you even get the ending cutscene that gives a synopsis of each faction and companion) and the world was just the right size. cool stuff to explore but not a giant waste of space. combat had some good points, and a few of the side quests were really interesting. for the bad, enemies became giant health sponges at the end and the weapon and armor system was very limited. there was no reason to use anything besides the unique weapons. imo there’s only one good satisfying ending to the game and the others make it as such that the game isn’t worth a second playthrough. also like new vegas if you leave the story in an almost finished state since there is no post credits game, the world is very fucked up.

I had the exact same experience as you with the exact quest (I'm op) but after refreshing myself on pillars 2 it fits into the world a little better. aedyran birth rates are declining because the wheel of reincarnation was broken by eothas. it's still gay but I can cope with it thinking about that. the dialogue is absolutely full of gay modern issues and sensibilities and it leans in a onions direction (like the two aedyran guards that are talking about how great the lockdowns were)

I made a mage and turns out mana does not regenerate naturally, so you end up feeling bad about casting spells. Quit the game and never bothered with it again. Absolutely disgusting system.
What baffles me is that everyone swears its magic system is 10/10.
And what baffles me even more is that they gave archers infinite ammo, but mages got fucked in the ass with the mana not regenerating.

You are grossly exaggerating.
Avowed is about the average amount of "millenial humor" Marvel avengers type stuff, for the time it was written. Not worse than you've seen in other games, film, comic, TV shows, youtubers and streamers, whatever.
It got slammed for being THE WOKE without being woker than the rest of the market, basically for no reason. It didn't help that the game opens with a blue furry and an arrogant lady in the tutorial.

The game isn't Skyrim, but the combat kind of is.
You equip a weapon/spell in each hand, its first person, you often fight in tight spaces and elevation can matter, you usually open with stealth, you often swap between melee/ranged/spells during the fight, its mana and stamin based, etc.
And Avowed is much better at it.

Well if you add onto that that all NPC's are basically just perma-glued in place and non-reactive (no comment on stealing/attacking), physics logic often broken, enemies are tied to spawning zones and won't follow you much, ADHD art direction, and gay af lore then all you're left with is combat that's better than 15+ year old Elder Scrolls games, I guess
If you're thinking about getting this game, don't waste your time.

The difference is that Mass Effect is a game released on 2007 for ancient hardware and this isn't. Gaming standards have increased in the last almost 20 years. And a first-person RPG's main draw is immersion, which fails if you can't even be bothered to simulate the basics.

I'm playing it now for the first time and it's ok at best. I loved the first Pillars game so I enjoy the universe, but the Living Lands doesnt feel super interesting to me so far. The grimdarkness of the first Pillars isn't here at all, which makes sense, I guess, since there was nome of that in Deadfire.
I like Kai as a character, but I'm probably being gaslit because he's just Garrus. Combat is alright, I'm enjoying being a caster. Dialog is wholly uninteresting to me tho, especially after having played BG3.
The character creation is fucking stupid tho, since you're expected to have godlike features turned on, yet EVERY SINGLE HAIR OPTION except fucking norwood clips through godlike features. Their way of fixing that is to gove you the option of hiding those features, which is such a baffling decision since the game was made with being a godlike in mind.
Ultimately, this is the most 6/10 game I've ever played.

I'm genuinely baffled.

Yeah thats definitely an odd decision. I like Mana not regenerating cause it forces you to eat everything you see and engage with some of the other mechanics a bit, including looting/scavenging. I'm not sure why they skimped out on archery when having a simple arrow crafting system would work within the systems they already have in place.

Gee I don't know, maybe him calling all white applicants "crusty white men" and actively trying to ensure that no white men get hired as artists in the company? Use your brain, moron.
If another dev in the industry were ever to call say there are too many "nasty black dudes" applying for a job in the company and whites will always have priority over blacks, the entire industry would go DEFCON 3 and likely delist/deplatform the game and studio

Pirate ship sailing around a big archipelago filled with shit to do. You play the same character from the first Pillars. Better combat than Pillars 1, but the story isn't as good imo. The constant pissing match between the gods is fun to deal with.

Honestly, I've always been a pro abortion guy myself when the couple having the kid just can't possibly take care of it, or mistakes by teenagers, but nowadays most abortions are for no reason whatsoever or just a replacement of the condom or the pill.
Hell, in my country like 50% of women who had abortions had more than 2 of them last year, just for that sole reason I'd forbid it unless the woman is going to die if she carries the kid inside her, which aren't no more than 0.1% of abortions at best.

It was a return to form, but the form before Morrowind - Daggerfall(which was a horrible game).
Starfield took from Daggerfall as opposed to modern Bethesda games. It had a shitload of open randomly generated worlds with randomly generated dungeons. It went all in on the radiant quest system that Daggerfall had.
Starfield was bad because it was a "return to form".

Nice strawman, I was one of those commenters, but it has nothing to do with it literally being gay. It's bad art direction, heavily reminiscent of Tumblr-art tropes. Color itself isn't bad, but it isn't used intelligently, it just looks like an autistics kid's fever dream (at times).

Great combat, fun exploration, good movement. 2H build that cannot die with high Resolve/Second Wind and Adrenaline was pure dopamine with the reward at the end was sending ragdolls into orbit. Occasional good quest, my favorite NPC was the diplomat secretary, I love listening to lore dumps and the voice actor brought it home. Quest had surprising amount of branching, but in the end there isn't a single standout character like Durance for example. Highlight is how it lets you just stumble over quest objectives before getting the quest for it. In the end, not the best game ever, not the worst. I would say they could've eased on the grafics, but it gave me many nice screenshots.
Fun fact: playing a sharkgirl puts your viewpoint higher. I wondered what was wrong at first since every NPC seemed to look at me differently. I guess it's same for orlans and dwarves.

As a wizardchad, I’d recommend that over cipher for a first play. It’s very powerful and fun. Lots of great spells too. Only benefit of being a cipher is that the cipher companion is boring so you likely aren’t going to use her compared to the wizard one who is story important at times.

It's the age of clickbait outrage. With some lesser grafics and smaller scope with just more classes it could've easily made it as a AA game for 35 burgers. Curse of being published by Microsoft.

I'll pirate the game this weekend and give it a try

It falls under "would be neat" for me, I can live without. Looking at this way: Dread Delusions is the kind of game I imagine Avowed would've been if they didnt have Microsoft bucks inflating the budget.

Where should you get your political view from then? Most forlays into politics are cringe, since it usually starts in our teens and most teenagers are retarded and care about retarded things
Doesn't matter what you think anyway, Gamergate occured at a time where the West was just truly starting to get mindfucked, then all the tranny and mass immigration and race shit started. Back then, political issues were a lot more insignificant and people still thought Libertarianism worked

A first person RPG without basic simulation cannot be a good game at all, because the basic premise of a first person RPG is immersion, and that's broken if NPCs are literally nothing more than a stagnant jpeg on a screen.
It might be okay for a platformer like Mario to have stagnant NPCs, but even in Mario NPCs have at least basic reactions to Mario hitting them and move around, even if it's senselessly back and forth and not proper basic scheduling.

I don't know, man. My political views are downstream from coal mines closing, immigrants moving in, planed obsolescence of tech, moving ownership to subscriptions, stuff like that. But I guess its equally valid to get your political views from video game reviews on the internet. I am sure you aren't a lesser human than me for this.

I disagree. Obviously no particular kind of game is just good by itself but that guy being like "ya all of them suck so planescape probably does too" just made me sad. Granted I played Planescape when I was 16 so my bar for being impressed was really low but I thought it was incredible. Same for Neverwinter Nights and all its expansions. Maybe people's tastes have just changed over time and those kinds of games aren't considered fun anymore.

KCD & KCD2 was good

Criticism rarely has to do with the gameplay, and as a first person RPG, it's probably the best on the market.
Then there's also The Witcher 3, or Cyberpunk 2077 post-updates, Baldur's Gate 3, all being universally well-received (Cyberpunk 2077 only post-updates, obviously).

Well it's sad to me to see people dismiss things they haven't even tried, but I guess it might just not be for you. I don't know what you thought was lame or garbage about those games but they're definitely "dated" in some ways, especially the combat.
>>734134863
Yeah I know. Personally the last one I enjoyed was the first Dragon Age and that was still a stretch.
Actually no, Torment:Tides of Numenera was alright. The characters were pretty flat but the world was fun to explore.

I gave this shit an honest try, and yeah the combat is pretty fun. But that's all its got, all it hinges on. If you're the sorta Bethesdafag, "I don't actually like RPG games I like action games with a seasoning of RPG" then yeah you'd probably like Avowed, but I found it mostly disappointing

I get the impulse, it looks like some gay guardian of the galaxy shit at first glance, but I've always wondered about the hate for Kai. Aumaua have always looked like that in Pillars and never got shit for it until people saw them in 3D

>>734134929
Yeah he is and it did actually change the board. You can look at the posting stats, it's really obvious that people came here from elsewhere (probably Reddit) to post about their stupid political bullshit. There was a surge when gamergate happened and another when trump ran.
>>

>>734135163
People that hate Kai likely haven’t played the game and are basing him on Tekehu from Deadfire considering how many times I see people talk about gay fish. Kai is the best companion in the game but he has the Garrus boost where he just sounds cool too.

Actually I got banned for exposing lies in feminist narratives. So you can get fucked now, I don't have any sympathy for libtards.

How is it cope when you can LITERALLY look at the stats on a graph and see the change? It was a huge event and 4chan was the only place you could talk about current events without having mouthbreathing retards trying to call your boss because you disagreed with them online, of course people would come here to talk about stuff.

Your problem is thinking that anyone has to nitpick little things and make them a big problem when referring to this game. The game has major deficiencies and as a result, isn't a good RPG. At best, it's a decent swords & magic combat game and that's it.

If you want to circlejerk about how much you love a half-assed video game, you're better off going to its subreddit and joining the ass-kissing competition on there

If everyone was just positive all the time about these bare minimum games, studios would be more than content to keep putting out low-effort slop. Look at Bethesda, who thought they were untouchable after Skyrim and Fallout 4 were financial successes.
>>
>>
>>734136424
It's the own game dev's faults if they're publicly posting insane shit on Twitter that targets even their own fanbase and suggesting they're intentionally politicizing their games.
When game devs play politics, their games get politicized, and that's never going to not be true.

The only good thing about this game is that the movement feels good and the combat itself is servicable

The Pillars of Eternity universe is just some Pathfinder session shared by some Millennial Marvel-loving convention nerd Redditors that they thought was "so cool" that it could compete with The Elder Scrolls
It reads like some shitty campaign
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>734124943
that's exactly what will kill the game for you though
Just compare the amount of classes in Pillars to Avowed, the most appaling weakness of Avowed besides low enemy variety is how few abilities there are, with basically only 3 main skill trees
It's a fucking sin they didn't include at least Psion which fits like a glove an ARPG where you have to attack to generate your main resource
no Chanter is also sad, same for Druid
