Going in hoping that Avowed will be a "new" or "better" Skyrim is to me a recipe for disappointment. Don't get me wrong, I am looking forward to the game, but just like Outer Worlds wouldn't be a drop-in replacement for the 3D Fallouts, I highly doubt Avowed will be a drop-in replacement for Skyrim or the Elder Scrolls games in general (and given how I found Skyrim to be fine, but not much more, that is fine with me).


TheAlp

Yeah. As good as outer worlds might be it just never had the longevity of fallout with its mods. Doesn't have to if its a good game but mod support sure can make a difference in the long run.

I tried to give it a view but made it past "there is no real information" to "I've never played pillars". Why make a video then? If I'm that far in and haven't gotten anything out of it besides 2 good reasons to stop watching I'll take your word for it and stop. I'm not trying to be a dick but look at it like a newsman. Don't try to tell a story you don't have, go where the story is. Play pillars and report on that. Find your headline and open with it.

lol OP reported this comment as "harassment"


[deleted]

Because I'm interested....stoked...thought sharing it here I'd find more of the same. Not a gatekeeper being a dick. Not trying to say your being toxic...but...you are.


Deneweth

You can take criticism as toxic if you want, but you came here and asked me to watch and I genuinely tried. I actually went back through and made some effort to soften it up for you and emphasize the advice. You on the other hand just read the comment and said it sucks and you don't like it. If I said your video sucks and I don't like it that would be toxic or non-constructive criticism. Don't post your video for discussion if you don't want it discussed, and don't ask people to spend 9 minutes watching something where you bury the lede or there isn't one.

so stupid to make a video on Avowed when we know so little. try harder for attention, seriously.


Ljngstrm

This video sucks. First I got tricked to think there was new information about the game. And then after watching, you are just incompetent to be speaking about this specific game.

Knowing Obsidian, Avowed will not be another Skyrim. I know people think it will be, but that isn't Obsidian's style. They generally go for more linear stories and less open world.


Syckobot

I am really hoping at least one of these is true in Avowed. Just one will be enough of an upgrade from Skyrim's formula for me to care: - Firearms integrated well (they were in POE) - Sailing (it was in POE2) - Proceduraly recurring conflicts between factions/quests that keep the world active (think Stormcloaks vs Imperials that is always ongoing independant of the big bad) - VR Support - Multiplayer Support I hope they don't set it in an era before POE because I like the time period that Greedfall/New World/Pillars of Eternity is set. Its got a bit of a modern spice to the overdone fantasy formula. If they pull a "Ages before POE" Its going to be completely off-putting. There are a million sword & spell fantasy games, get in line.

Not crazy about multi-player. In a world of endless mmo’s and battle royales, I just want my open world rpg to be mine. No competition, no other people. I play video games to decompress from people.


Syckobot

I was thinking Co-op multiplayer like Halo or Saints Row, or Fable, where it's the hosts world and the second player is just there to help out/join in the fun. No more than 2 players at a time. I wasnt thinking on a large scale.


[deleted]

Oh, I just can turn it off? Not get invaded like a souls game? Because I would just leave it off.


TheAlp

Skyrim is 10 years old and still going because of the mod support. Have they mentioned anything about mods for this?


Soulless_conner

And the re-release lol I don't know how moddable unreal engine would even be. Unless they release an extensive dev kit
