Avowed is the most fun I’ve have had since Skyrim!
-
Tried it with a Nvidia card. The graphics were oddly blurry and grainy, especially anything in shadows, no matter the settings. Couldnt get past that. I'm not going to play potentially dozens of hours of nausea simulator.
-
Change from Oblivion to Skyrim would definitely affect my question. I do think the former had more "my kind" of role playing so the initial thought would be more understandable for me.
Thanks for the answer. I get what you mean about playing as more defined main characters, it definitely has it's benefits over more open-ended approach.
-
There's never been much content blocking in elder scrolls. You could always master every skill even in Morrowind. Morrowind had a few exclusive guilds, but even Skyrim had a couple. Role playing in Skyrim is self imposed.
-
Though I will likely not be playing the game, I have seen a lot of people running into performance problems, crashing, and just bugs in general. You aren't the only one.
-
Guild exclusivity is actually what I had in mind. Sure, there's nothing that significantly changes the main quest in TES games (and I think I misremembered how much blocking is there in previous titles) but that still counts for me personally. Self-imposed role play is fine in general (I do it all the time in games in fact) but I still think that lack of reasonable requirements for some (optional?) content makes the world feel more generic and player-focused than I'd like.
Thanks for the reminder though.

I’m a huge fan of pillars of eternity and so far this game is great… seeing the screenshots I was worried it wouldn’t “feel” like PoE but 100% feels like it to me.
-
Avowed does seem to be better received and more popular than Outer Worlds, so we can hope.
-
If I can get Skyrim level titty modding I’ll be happy
-
90CND, woof… does it have furries? That’s my deciding factor.
-
Outer worlds was received perhaps even better and was more popular than Avowed is currently. People’s memories are fuzzy I guess but Outer Worlds was a genuine GOTY contender.
-
Yeah that doesn't track at all with what I remember people saying, and what I remember thinking myself.
I distinctly remember people citing the repetitive gameplay, short campaign, shallow choices, etc. I'm not sure why it was ever a GOTY contender, but there simply never was any way it would ever beat a game like Sekiro. It's likely that "new Obsidian RPG" drove any hype surrounding the game.
Edit: Disco Elysium came out in 2019, that fact alone tells you that Outer Worlds being a contender was uhh... if not fraudulent, then certainly questionable.
-
No, there wasn't - Skyrim is the video game equivalent of makeup on an otherwise uninteresting individual. Might seem pretty at first, but the lack of depth or meaning dulls any beauty.
-
It sold 4 million copies. The press lathered it with praise as a lot of major media outlets gave it 9s.
Game Critics Awards: Best Original Game
DICE awards: Best RPG
Nebula Awards: Best Writing
2019 Game awards: nominated for four categories, including game of the year
It was nominated and won other awards as well

Sounds like you maybe had FSR on.
-
Disco Elysium isn't everyone's cup of tea. It certainly wasn't mine. And I love Outer Worlds.
-
I'm sorry but I genuinely don't care what game journalists think. Their opinions are about as valuable as mud, and at least I can grow plants from mud.
Every single discussion I see searching up on Google 'is Outer Worlds good' are sponsored reviews from people who got the game for free, or B average reviews from people who got the game for dirt cheap. When I find what real people have to say about Outer Worlds, it's almost unanimous that it was bad.
-
Don’t apologize for having an opinion. Just apologize for discounting the ones that don’t agree with yours. It’s listed as very positive on Steam and sold very well. Your hyperbole about everyone saying it was bad is provably wrong.
-
Yes, there is a race of furrys
-
Mmmmmm okay, considered
-
I wish I could get into it, I'll give it another go next week, but after a red hot try a few nights back, it just didn't click with me.
Garrick seemed pretty chill though.
