Avowed | Review

Can anyone else in Europe outside of Poland verify if Battle.net and Steam version of the game are cheaper than directly on Xbox? Or is it just Polish issue?

Nice video. And any ā€˜gamer’ who hears that and doesn’t twig ā€˜oh, wait a second, maybe I shouldn’t be a stan for corps’ can get tae fuck.

Also, anyone wailing about a lack of battle passes and meta progression. Play the fucking game FOR THE FUCKING GAME. JESUS.

Halo Infinite isn’t my most played Xbox game because I like unlocking tat.

Is the patch available for Xbox now as well? Or is it just PC?

The Dawntreader quest is really cool.

I got an update yesterday so maybe, but this could be a future update as games usually patch first on PC.

Yeah, I was just coming to post that I just downloaded the patch on Xbox Series X. :slight_smile:

This is a gamers game for sure, something most gamers really want a tight well done quasi open world RPG with great combat and traversal, great writing, graphics.

One of those games you start playing and 5 hrs later you are like crap I just spent 5 hrs playing this.

Well unfortunately for me I can now see some tearing, specifically on the map when moving the around. Fortunately, I’ve been upgrading all my stuff often and pretty much have everything in Purple(Exceptional) as I’m about finished with Emerald Stair. Just have to do 4 quest(and some of the map obectives), one of them likely can be done in the next zone, 2 of them are treasure related so that will take a bit.

Played for 5 hours and this game is not for me. I cant buy in to the world as much nor the story

Just finished the tutorial and i’m very surprised how good the combat and platforming feels. I was not expecting this especially the latter.

Ok, 51 hours into the game and I’m finally ready to head to the third zone. Obsidian was being sneaky with that final item I wanted to find.

Nice. I’m under 40 hours and should have the second region fully completed tomorrow. Was the branch the final item you were trying to find? Because you can just craft them.

A totem piece, the branch was just where the menu was. But I will have to look into crafting it, since I only remember breaking down a higher level branch to get a couple of lower levels ones.

Loving Avowed so far, combat and exploration are great. Hope Obsidian keeps making content for the Pillars universe.

Will download this tomorrow when I get home from work.

Update -

Over 42 hours into the game and finally reached the third region which is where I turned off the game since I have work tomorrow morning. Did pretty much everything that I could find in the first two regions. If I missed anything, then that shit is very well hidden. lol

Still rocking the Wand/Axe combination but not really liking the Unique Wand that I have because it delivers shock damage which is good but I kinda wish I stayed with the weaker wand. I just looked up to see if there’s an Ice Wand in the game and yay me!!! There is!! Best of all, it’s in the third region which is where im at. I’m so happy!! Once I get that, I’ll sell/dismantle the current Wand that im using.

Won’t mention why but the story has gotten better for a few reasons. Still not a fan of the dialogue options not telling you what ends a conversation and what doesn’t.

I have seen a lot of people online complaining about the lack of immersion due to being able to loot everything and none of the NPC’s or guards say/do anything but im thinking to myself, your character is a fucking Godlike. What are these no name NPC’s going to do before I kill them in two seconds? LMAO. I’m very happy that there’s no stealing in the game like say Starfield or Assassin’s Creed Odyssey as that drives me nuts because I want to loot everything. So while people have complained about these two aspects along with the respawning enemies/items/resources being non-existent, im happy as hell because in all four aspects, it’s the way I prefer it to be. Teehee.

Will get back to playing the game tomorrow late afternoon once I get home from work.

I just finish a quest in Thirdborn (city on Shatterscarp), that will have me trying to decided which side to chose because the rewards for both are pretty good.

Now I enjoyed the quest and I clearly know what I think is right for me(maybe if I pushed forward it would necessarily be true), but I won’t know until I make it there with my other character. WhobI created just to see if there was anything important behind a door I choose to return the key to the rightful owner.
