Avowed will likely be worse than PoE 1&2. So if you are interested in the setting you should check the old games instead.

Give PoE a try, lad.
If you end up liking its pros more than you'd detest its cons, you got a solid 80hrs long swashbuckling adventure ahead.
If not, your first hand knowledge of the crpg genre will have expanded at least a little.
It's a win-win scenario mon ami.
And, when you actually consider it, this specific flavour of hack n slash that PoE belongs to isn't exactly that common in this day and age. Most of them belong to the 80s or 90s.
Do you hate an empty sheet of paper? It's not just that Pillars are bad, it's that there is nothing interesting there; up until the expansions, there was not a single interesting mechanic, no captivating story (the game would probably be better with no writing at all), no grueling combat (the inability to implement a proper Real Time with Pause system didn't help either), no rewarding character development, no choices with heavy gameplay consequences, no mesmerizing audiovisuals, no nothing. Everything I saw was already present in the same form in some previous RPGs; there was not even a hint at originality. And, while the expansion did add some mildly interesting features (like weapons with abilities unlocked by use), it wasn't enough to make the game good. You'd probably have a better time picking any other game from the Top 101.If you hate PoE, feel free to tell me why.
There is definitely a difference in artstyle, especially colors. Avowed looks more friendly, a bit like a fantasy Outer Worlds.Visually, Avowed doesn't even look like Pillars unless less i'm missing something here.

I wish you niggers would stop using alts to rage bait me.I’m a bit interested in this game, Avowed, that’s yet to come out.
The emoji responses to my original post didn’t bode well at first (and I did realize, only after posting, that I actually vaguely remember PoE being a bit of a punching bag/meme here and largely disliked), but nice to see some say they like them!
Dream on. Avowed is nothing like these masterpieces. Don't let marketing fool you. The best you can hope for is subpar oblivion / outer worlds.Arx Fatalis or Hexen
POE 1 was deeply boring, set basically after all of the interesting things had taken place...
Smartest New Vegas Legion fans.The most "creative" parts of it are the Polynesian fish people (that kinda look like niggers) and a 1:1 copy of the Venetian Republic but with all of the Italians replaced with fucking niggers.
I hate no-experience in tabletop where the DM arbitrarily says when we level up. It works, even if it's displeasing.such as Endurance or 0 exp

But you either have xp or not. To have 0 xp for kills was absolutely infuriating.
They could give level ups based on other progression, e.g. reach Defiance Bay = level up. That is, if they signed letters like "I, Soyer, admit being an incompetent designer, please accept my sincerest apologies."
Never played Oblivion but I liked the atmosphere and several things in Morrowind (that I never finished in 10 times I've tried to play it).Pretty sure it will be even worse than Oblivion (yeah, bar isn't high, I know).literally Oblivion with guns
These guys made The Outer Worlds - abandon all hope, Obsidian is finished.
