If you’re gonna make an open world first person fantasy game, it’s gonna get compared to Skyrim no matter who you are
Skyrim is one of the best games. Avowed looks similar but prettier and less janky. The comparison is giving it positive attention.
I always felt like Skyrim was… fine. People lost their minds about it but I never thought it was actually that good.
I played it at a lan party when it first came out. We all had a blast and after a day of playing we had wildly different stories and experiences.
Its an awesome game, and with mods you could get another games worth of fun out of it IMHO, but I don’t think its the end game of games like they treat it. It can be better (mods show just some of that potential), and they’re are other games.
Yeah, vanilla was kinda meh. It was hilariously breakable and infinitely moddable though.
I would say the same of Tainted Grail, honestly. That game’s combat honestly clicks pretty well imo. The two-handing in that game is fantastic.
If they made the same exact game as Skyrim, but in a modern engine that wasn’t built on a sandy foundation, it would already be a better game.
It shouldn’t be hard to replicate the good while removing the bad. And yet I’ve yet to see it actually happen.
Weird. It reminded me of Outer Worlds (an Obsidian game)
Decent game but very short and not much to do in it
I liked it a lot, although the DLCs were far more memorable than the base game.
Ah, didn’t know it had DLC. I just picked up a base copy from my local library
I dropped it after the first planet, it just never really clicked. I’m hoping Avowed doesn’t give me the same reaction.
which was like fallout which is already sci-fi skyrim, but with characters and plot inspired by firefly to add that teaspoon of space cowboy to make the medicine go down or something
I’m gonna compare it to garbage if the rumors of the shitty port job hold true…
Targeting 30 FPS doesn’t mean it’s a shitty port.
For console maybe…
So get it on PC. That’s where I’ll be playing it. Early reports from games media I follow have already said they played it on PC at higher than 30 FPS.
I’m basing my information on the developers own words…they said the target was 30fps… which is lazy in this day and age.
And of course I’ll play it on PC… I’d not waste my time on console.

I didn’t disagree with you on what they said they were targeting, so I’m not sure why you phrased that way. It’s not lazy; it’s a trade off that you disagree with, but it happens every console generation like clockwork. You can push graphical effects on any machine until it hits 30 FPS, and this is where they ended up on this set of hardware.
Sorry for the confusion, my response was based on your information from social media reviews. I’m working on finding the exact article I’m referring to.
I’m pretty sure Microsoft invited the comparison by letting people believe this would be “their Elder Scrolls” before they just bought Elder Scrolls.
Skyrim is an awful game, I hope Avowed will become it’s own thing instead of being compared to that garbage game
“awful game” what is with this rhetoric that people no longer have an in between? A game is either a masterpiece or “awful” these days, why?? Why can’t a game just be fine or good but not great? Why must things be one extreme or another? Saying Skyrim is “awful” just makes you sound stupid honestly
Alright. Skyrim is a terrible game
I mean I hated elder rings and I thought it was trash, but I know there’s no way that a game that popular is terrible, so I say “it’s not for me”. If you want to live in a stupid world without nuance, have at it.
Then if this game is compared to Skyrim, be prepared to hate it?
