I haven't been keeping up with the thread, but it seems even as a trainwreck, Avowed is mediocre.

I also love it how everyone involved with this game, from the insane, cooked art director (who wants to replace white people with blacks), to borderline hysterical journalists who are shilling it, is acting violently mentally ill

Not even sherry likes the slog :(

With the game released, Sherry's mission is probably over.

Hi.

no
nO
NO!
:argh:


okay okay this game is very enjoyable asnd despite the concerns I have brought up it still moves forward well enough to be coherent to follow even though conversation inconsistencies surface now and then (you use a [LIE] option to avoid telling someone who you are, and a few branches later they say Envoy as if you told them) and of course my disdain for the [emoji reaction responses] are well known. Oh and the remarks I made about Paradis and the empty NPCs failing to provide background flavour does not surface in The Emerald Stair. There is a lot of background information you can gleam simply by walking on by and stopping to listen. Maybe it was a different team that made The Emerald Stair happen? Perhaps the scope of The Emerald Stair was not as daunting as Dawnshore? :? But The Emerald Stair is very compact and focused in its direction and backstory from the very moment you first arrive and see the Animancer farm. The region is very well done with different zones and new creatures. :salute: In my last adventure recap I suggested having more creature variety would be nice and I had yet to encounter them BUT The Emerald Stair introduces Blights, Delemgan and Adragan so far, so even the early reviews complaining about a lack of diverse creatures to fight because they only fought Xaurips, Spiders, Skeletons and Bears means they reviewed it too early without actually progressing any further than Dawnshore.

As for my mission there is no mission okay? Okay! I have been looking forward to exploring Eora again in a region that Orange is from so being able to do this and explore the backstory of my original character from Pillars of Eternity and DEADFIRE is a pleasure to experience playing AVOWED.

There will be an update regarding Miriamele's adventure along with some more beautiful scenary of The Emerald Stair later on. :hug:

Thanks,
Sherry

Every character in Planescape Torment was an ugly freak.

We should start hate campaigning about that game too when we're at it.

:hmmm:
To be fair, modern rightwingers would 100% call Annah a tranny, if PST was released today.
She's a succubus, so that's technically true...
Oh, my bad, Annah is the tiefling. Fall-From-Grace is technically a tranny.
*You* are retarded. In D&D succubuses are genderless by nature, and can assume the form of a male or a female, as needed for their seduction of a mortal.

Grace is female by choice, just as she is aligned with good instead of evil, and a cleric of... experience, by choice, and against her tran'ni nature.

Amalur also had the House of Ballads questline which I really liked despite pretty much all of the other quests being mediocre, haven't seen anyone praising any particularly outstanding quest chains in Avowed yet so that's something else Amalur has on Avowed (although to be balanced it is pretty early days so it could just be that it'll take a while for consensus around what parts are good to form).
I already heard that you can't go full Steel Garrote supporter in side content, so that's lame.
Well, you can, but the forced fishfag would always complain.
