Hi.

huh?
Wha?
PARDON?

You heard me LOUD and CLEAR okay? The original soundtrack has dropped if you want to listen to it early before you get it with your purchase of Avowed. It is also on iTUNES.

Hi.

Gosh, if you look around the forum and even in this very thread, you will see that Konjad is my alt.

Thanks,

I hope they will at least giveaway few copies of Avowed in the end of this campaign

They might have ticked more people into buying this by not making companions so ugly you want to look away.

Only 7 more days until best woke brave game comes out! I will immediately get to slaying white fascist oppression in this magical land of female empowerment. Me and my team of twinks will go and cross swords with any cis hetero hater out there and come forth gloriously victorious all covered in our white cloth of victory.
No binary creature will stand in our path, if they do they will be turned non binary fast and they will thank us. Children of the land will be saved from oppression of their bigoted parents and will share in our white cloth of victory.
And all this will be done in glorious 30 FPS on console!

Skyforge, Pathfinder Adventures, Armored Warfare, Tyranny, Deadfire.
The MMOs were not failures, just the opposite. Pathfinder Adventures was just some cheap card game. Sawyer ended up getting a nice bonus from Deadfire, Tyranny also likely made money over time, just not the big immediate pay-out Paradox was expecting.

Tyranny is bad, Deadfire is bad, the other games are barely with acknowledging

This wasn't a discussion about quality, it was about sales.

Obsidian could make what one here would consider a high quality game and then go out of business from lack of sales like Iron Tower.

You know, I think they could trick more people into buying the game if it was 59.99 instead of 69.99.
That extra 16 and change percent more cost + a lot of doubt will make people go investigate "wait, what is this" instead of mindlessly clicking buy.
The true price is a Russian Game Pass key for $10 as you will play the game once and never touch it again. Or if you are a little patient, you might get it for free in a bundle with video cards like it was for The Outer Worlds. Paying $70 for something so unexciting is insane. This game on Game Pass is just the equivalent of a subpar show on Netflix.

I have it on good authority that Deadfire is pretty good, and it also says so on Josh Sawyer's watch, so that's two independent sources.

I do not know, I will never buy or play a game from that racist, chauvinist Vavra. He is not brave enough to let us play as women in main roles his games. Women are just as capable or more than men!

About Patel


The anti-woke warriors has gotten really obnoxious to point of becoming gaming journalism of 2016. I guess it is a working business model in 2025 like gaming journalism was in 2016. She literally just says you have to accept a little jank to do something fun and creative, which is true. If anything Obsidian is opposite of that with their last games, which were all quite polished aside from some balance issues but lacked any risk taking. Actually the thing that made interested in this game in the first place was seeing it has a kick like Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, which made me think maybe they are actually trying to have a bit of fun instead of doing formulaic and safe things or worse, games which insist upon itself like Outer Worlds.

Just realized Baldur's Gate 3 is 20% off on steam. Is this Larian trying to troll Microsoft/Obsidian and humiliate them by having Avowed open lower than BG3?

Bugs. Terrible UI.
The DLC is the only part of the game truly bug ridden. It's also a mediocre DLC IMHO so it doesn't matter. The base game is good

Poorly-balanced.
Maybe, not particularly though, no CRPG is that well balanced. Aside from pink magic and dual weapons it was well made overall

Mediocre storytelling.
Disagree

Mediocre graphics.
It's on par with early 2010s

I encountered several bugs in the base game, not the DLC, and that's unacceptable for a game that's been out that long. It was clearly abandoned.

It's simply an overrated game.
