Is anyone else playing Avowed? What are your thoughts so far?

No, I meant the overall depth of the game, not the depth of the combat. I don’t think Skyrim has deep combat —maybe I didn’t phrase it clearly.

The price tag exists solely to drive people to subscribe for Game Pass. With the kind of content the game offering, it's a perfectly good 40 dollar game, not a 70 dollar one. A good spin-off to the PoE franchise while still moving the world forward.

I thought it was okay
Huh...
Finished the main game twice
Well, we must have very different definitions of "okay," then. That sounds like it was more than okay if you could go through the whole thing twice!

Well, it's a gametype/genre I tend to enjoy greatly. First round was the "blind go", second round I wanted to see what can be done differently and what kinds of different outcomes there are. IIRC not much changes when doing stuff differently. Admittedly the second round around was bit of a slog - I think I played it through, but not 100% of it.
To me the "okay" means more of a "more fun than not". The game isn't great by any means, but it's not also off-putting to play, but I don't feel like I need to re-install the game ever again. Also, the game isn't terribly long either.
But, opinions, everybody has them.

Soooo... I think I'm about to leave the first proper map. The voices aren't as bad as I thought at the beginning. Some NPCs have stronger accents than others, taking the backstory of the island to account it totally makes sense since a lot of people are coming from different regions.
I love the comments from the companions every time you stumble across a new region, street, house. It really lets you feel like they know the way around and you're the visitor.The story picks up a notch and gives enough choices for every mood. Also it lets you remember some of your choices and opens new ways to solve some quests.
Combat feels better and better as more you dive into. All weapons are viable and are well balanced. I started as a heavy two hand melee but now my second loadout is a book with a pistol...The map design is really really nice IMO. You really have to take a look behind everything to find something. The loot is plausible. Enemy placement don't feel off.
After all it's a good solid game. Maybe not a full priced one but for 10-20€ off a really nice worth to be played one.
I hope it doesn't fall off the more you play..Performance got worse in Paradis but still is around 90 in my case.
