Thanks! I knew there was some news coming today, but I couldn't remember which game.

Edit:
Me: Oh, there is going to be gameplay from Avowed today!
Wife: <No reaction, continues looking at her phone>
Me: You don't remember what Avowed is, do you?
Wife: <Bursts into laughter> I was just wondering how to react.

Game looks like cringe, plastic crap, just like The Outer Worlds. I'll stay with Fall of Avalon, thanks.

It looks worse than I anticipated.
Nuance and choice means three dialogue options I guess.

It didn't look as janky as I thought it would, but the 21st century Millennial writing is getting even worse.

It looks like biowarish wanabe. 2 companjons. Bunch linked levels. Dialogue.

Combat tries into dark messiah of mm but I messiah still was mo4e fun probably.

Deadpan hit with wooden oar in da face developer delivery matches nuibsidian dialogue accurately

Game development used to be a group of boomers staying after working hours eating pizza and coding a game for fun.

Now, it's a bored millenial working for the top 3 biggest corp in the world, producing souless shit after years of costly development.

I don't expect anything good after The Outer Worlds happened but I couldn't care less about the graphicswhore takes. Gotta wait till release to see if they manage to improve writing at all.

Damn, I didn't expect it to feel so bad. I actually laughed when they shot a pistol for the first time, it looks and sounds like a toy - overall combat seems to lack any impact, animations look weird and janky af and whole thing is plastic and gay.

Basically as expected, it's Outer Worlds in POE setting.
