Lifeless is not at all how I would describe the art direction in this game.

Can't wait for Awoked to flop and make someone at Microshit finally notice that they had acquired Obshitian for some reason, and shut it down.

It's interesting this guys not been fired yet and a public apology issued. Leadership at these companies are so fucking arrogant, really hoping this one doesn't sell at all like the last 8 woke games.

- safe space uninspired looking game.
- meh art style.
- no story to speak of as part of the marketing.
- pronouns w/ the buy our game you asshole bigot attitude.

why would you buy this garbage?

Hi! Here are some reasons that you might buy/play Avowed:

You're interested in the narrative and want to see what happens after PoE2: Deadfire.
The dialogue and writing are really well done.
Characters are interesting and the dialogue with them can strike a range of tones.
From what we've seen the game seems to respect your choices and, in turn, provide meaningful consequences to them.
The combat looks immersive, responsive, and overall has made really good impressions.
The game rewards exploration and the world seems dense with hand-crafted places to explore off the beaten path.
The game world has a unique art style not usually seen, and you jive with that.
Any other personal reason you may have to buy/play Avowed.

Here are some reasons you might not buy/play Avowed:

You're a loyal footsoldier on the front lines of the Culture War, and Pronouns are your D-Day.
The NPCs don't look as good as some other games.
You just don't like First-Person Perspective, and the TPP mode looks (understandably) janky.
You really just wanna stick it to Obsidian for one reason or another. Go get 'em Tiger!
You may be a lil' bit racist (or a lotta bit, you do you) and there's a brown person in the game.
The game world has a unique art style not usually seen, and you don't jive with that.
Any other personal reason you may have to not buy/play Avowed.

Hope this helps.

- Dead-fire was so boring barely anyone bought it, if this is a continuation of that then yes no thanks.
- If the writing and dialog was so good, why did no one buy the previous game? and you can't fall-back onto their not being an RPG audience as BG3 100x'd the sales of Pillars and with TB only combat.
- Combat is subjective, i think the FP animations look exaggerated and disconnected to the game-world. There is definitely an outer worlds feel to the combat which wasn't great.
- Blah blah racist :roll:
- Unique art style please...

Yeah the animations are over-stylised and feel disconnected from the game world, i don't know how to else to desribe it. Like its clear the character model doesn't have arms etc or a body and it looks really two dimensional. Looks like Overwatch but with Overwatch the entire design is cartoony so it better gets away with it.

The proportions are crazy off as well, you would have to have 3 meter long arms or maybe eyes in your sternum for those animations to make sense.. It's bugged me since the initial reveal of the game. Honestly put your arms out and try position them so you can't even see your elbow like in this game. Then you have widescreen monitors a lot of people have these days and its even worse.

You have my permission to leave the thread. I'm pretty sure you can ignore it even!

You won't be troubled by Avowed news anymore.
View attachment 58076
Every one of those threads has the word Avowed in the title. If I didn't want to read about Avowed I would refrain from clicking any of them.
They are still troubling, and new ones pop up constantly without any need whatsoever, because it's obvious that this will be a turd and a flop worse than Vilefart.
