The largest complain I've heard is that the game has some retarded tier items systems, and depending on what tier of specific weapon / armor piece you wear you can only drop a new weapon / armor of that tier. And enemies scaling in some weird ass way depending on your gear tier too. Feels like some gacha game with tiers rather than RPG with levels and stats.

The item system is great until you need to come back to later area, which is teorethically never
It's like Fromsoftware weapon scaling except Fromsoftware makes you buy or farm lower tier upgrade items

And you didnt answer the question, why are they treating gamers like retards to add hit markers to a fucking melee weapon swing

Why are you talking about game design of a game you didn't play? Why do you assume that hit marker isn't needed? Are you mentally stunted? Are you a retard perhaps?

So what you're saying is that the melee combat is so poorly designed that it requires a hit marker to confirm that you landed a hit? Damn, I should buy that right fucking now rather than just reinstalling Dark Messiah.

They made everything lame, and gay, they made the combat babies first FPS that was simpler than playing Doom in slow motion, they made every quest go here, and kill six boars for a modern day californian.

No, it requires hit markers because a lot of the spells act offscreen or with tracked projectiles

The main part is their game was too close to Bethesda Elder Scrolls.
The reason Skyrimlike isn't a thing as how Soulslike is a thing is because of the work to get at the same point is far too much.

If you're making a first person RPG, you NEED to copy and improve what Skyrim did.
You need NPCs with schedules, you need all props to be interactable, you need physics on arrows, you need "cutscenes" that happen between NPCs in the open world and all of the Skyrim stuff. And this is just to match a 15 year old game, you need to do more on top of that, you need to improve it.

Avowed was destined to die. The game wasn't going to dethrone Skyrim and it's setting wasn't good enough to make people overlook what it lacked. There's a reason why Avowed Vs Skyrim videos propped up as soon as the game released.

It's nothing like Elder Scrolls.
For one, it's an actual RPG, where you can have meaningful consequences to secondary quests that affect the main quest and vice versa
Second, it has good gameplay and build variety so you don't play stealth archer
Third, who gives a fuck about player count? Starfield and Skyrim and Fallout 4 sold millions and they are worthlless garbage, pigs are attracted to slop, what else is new?

>>734131912
First point is null and void, second one is valid but pales in comparison to how Skyrim immerses you in every aspect. Who said anything about player count?

If you like Avowed so much why did you make your post and why are you trying to argue with me? Just enjoy the game?

I really enjoyed the combat in avowed
Parrying with a 2h sword that does blood explosions on counter attack was v fun
The movement was great too, just felt good to move and fight in the world
Didn't love the companions but they were fine
Sapadal was the best writing in the game
Shorter length kept the pacing good
Overall 8/10 enjoyed my time

>>734132350
>why are you trying to argue with me
lazy faggot it's called conversation the guy is actually listening to your points and replying to them it's called CON VER SATION

>>734131535
It requires hit markers for a spell that will 100% hit?
It just triggers constantly from your webms it is ui for drooling retards and there's nothing you can say to change that.
Now go ahead and copy what I say and try to twist it like you did for the last two posts

>They absolutely nailed the combat and parkour
nailed it to a cross maybe

I started this game thinking it might be a decent RPG. But the writing was just bad.
Also, remember how you used to be able to rob and/or attack random NPCs in towns? You can't do that in this game.
Every aspect of the game except maybe the visuals are low tier efforts.

Skyrim with the parkour mod plays better than this

Quick! Post your builds before this thread devolved into bitching about trans like the last one!

Turns out discriminating against competent people because of their skin color leads to incompetent teams making bad games.
>They absolutely nailed the combat
Beating up target dummies that don't even react to you isn't good combat.
