It is happening again.

Hardly any difference between the characters you can make in Avoid and Baldur's Gate 3. Of course they're going to show off the diversity, because they're token-collecting liberals.

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is. Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture I helped put crap in Monomyth
What they are showing there is something I'd expect to see drawn from someone from a mental institute.

Hard to take you seriously after you go mental because a map has... roads. ROADS, one of the most important advancements in human history.
Yeah, it's difficult to take someone seriously when they criticize things and don't just consume the product. So will you buy Avowed, then?
I have 7,693 posts on this forum, which are probably evenly divided between posts where I criticize games and posts where I call people faggots. There are 267 pages full of valid criticism in this thread. This doesn't change the fact that your fixation with ROADS is on par with sorcererviktor's levels of autism.

That said, I will play Avowed for sure. Despite PoE's many flaws, I've always found its gods and cults kind of interesting. I'll give it a try, but I'm not sure the setting alone will be enough to make me finish it. I won't buy it, though: it will be on the Game Pass at release.

I'm not fixated on "Roads". I'm fixated on developers doing a shit job in world design and seemingly being unable to implement features that were common place 20 years ago. The fact that I need to explain this to anyone shows how far standards have fallen around here.

Do you think Obsidian's poor excuse for a map is excluded from criticism? If so, then please tell me what's so great about it and explain how wrong I am. Fact is you can't. All you can muster are pathetic attacks against my character. 7,693 posts on this forum and you are fucking shit at debating anything.

Debating? What am I supposed to debate? I don't think that map is great, it looks like a shitty mock-up made with Inkarnate.

Nothing is excluded from criticism, but sometimes our minds give birth to criticism that's just dumb and our autism elevates it to otherworldly levels of insanity. I mean, you're still fighting this crusade about BG3 not having a day/night cycle, but the point of such a feature would be to add reactivity and that game already has tons of it. There's a lot to criticize in BG3 (by God, A LOT), but it definitely doesn't need more reactivity. Not every game needs a day/night cycle, it's not even in the top 1k things missing from BG3.

If you can't even deny my criticisms with good reasons then why even reply to my posts? It seems the only purpose of your replies is to antagonize me for daring to criticize a game. Why don't you just stay in your own lane, dickhead?

I don't know if I can handle another fake pretending rpg that is just trying to deliver modern culture propoganda messages.

Veilguard wore me out, some parts were interesting. But the modern day crap was so terrible, forced.

I really hope this game won't be like that but it's starting to feel very rainbow.

i honestly don't understand why you would play Veilguard to begin with.
I ask that myself all the time. I wanted to finish off the story was my goal.
for what it's worth i highly doubt Avowed will be as bad as Veilguard.


Why? I am not sure current Obsidian is any less woke than current Bioware. And the truth is that as much as we shit on Veilguard it's at least a 6/10 game. Somehow I am not convinced Avowed is on that level.

A young sailor boards the ship for the first time, and the bosun gives him a task:
"Go to the pharmacy and buy a pack of condoms and a bottle of nausea pills."
The sailor goes, buys them, and comes back. But the bosun says:
"No, no, go back and buy double the amount!"
The sailor obeys and returns with more. The bosun sends him again:
"Still not enough! Go get even more!"
This goes on several times, until the pharmacist, puzzled, finally asks the young sailor:
"Look, if it makes you so sick, why do you keep doing it?"

Me on the other hand, I don't have such problems, not playing slop and all...

Veilguard:

1. Wants to be indentified as a party-based game
2. Your party members don't have HP and can't be attacked
3. They're literally just awesome buttons on a cooldown

It's like bait but in videogame form.
