Playing Avowed (lemmygrad.ml)

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'm playing it too and so far I'm liking it a lot. Although some dialogue options are a bit lib, I've been enjoying trying to be as anticolonial as I can since the game have a pretty big empire colonization plot so far. Also, Kai is a pretty cool companion, I expected him to be much more different personality wise given how other NPCs talk about him, but he's really level headed and a cool dude overall.

I'm also doing a mage build, but I have a shield and sword as my second loadout. I got a pretty sick flaming sword and it is too cool for me no to use lol.

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.
