Womp womp.

As a sidenote, I’m very impressed by how much Avowed is reminding me of some of my favourite memories playing Fable I and II back in the day. It feels like the same sort of action RPG, with the blending of swords, bows/guns, and magic. Certainly an unexpected treat, given the more obvious Skyrim comparisons that game has been getting.

How is Avowed? Is it good? I loved the Fable games.

I’m in love with it, it feels like it was made just for me. Like a combo of Skyrim and Fable II. Not everyone feels the same though.

Probably to focus on Forza Horizon 6?

(Playground Games is helping on Fable)

I would rather it was late and done, than on time and buggy and unfinished.

Lol doesn’t seem to make much of a difference these days. Games get delayed and still release broken.

To this day I am salty about the third game lagging in QTEs.

Hopefully, the delay is to improve the existing experience. Too many times it has been because the original vision was scrapped after a decade of work and they restart development with a different direction in mind, culminating in a mediocre game.
