I have a very bad case of disc hernia, and today, I had back surgery to fix it—somehow. For the last two weeks, I was completely bedridden, and all I did was play games and read books.
Two days ago, I finished Avowed as a wizard, clocking in around 55 hours. I guess it stuck with me subconsciously because while waking up from general anesthesia, I started screaming, “I am a wizard! I am a wizard!” multiple times.
I had no idea I was coming out of surgery, and I only realized it when my doctor said, “Okay, wizard, can you raise your leg for me?” At that moment, my brain went: “Wait, why is this NPC asking me to raise my leg? Oh… why am I in a bed? Oh… this looks like a hospital!”
It finally clicked that I was still under anesthesia, but by then, everyone was smiling at me like, “Okay, wizard!”
I work in a GI lab and one of the funniest things I heard when a patient was waking up was, “You guys were so good I’m coming back for another colonoscopy tomorrow!”
I assume that when they die they’ll wake up from their wizard coma and it will coincide with some sort of cool plot point. Maybe his wizard body gets kissed by a frog or something.
Not OP, but I also just finished the game. I had a lot of fun, IMO it’s a solid 8/10. It’s not the greatest RPG but it’s got decent writing, fun choices and mostly interesting characters. The exploration is fun, but with the way gearing and loot works it gets stale (luckily for me, that only happened near the end of the game).
Hope the game does well cause it’s probably the most "finished’ an obsidian game has ever been.
Not OP, but I’m about 8 hours in and love it so far. It definitely has a few things I’d prefer it tweak, like a lack of HDR support on PC and no custom map markers, but they’re simply annoying, not deal breakers.

I doubt that’s the weirdest thing the doctors have heard people under those drugs say.
What if you really are a wizard and you’re actually now in a coma in your reality? This could all be a dream, OP.
That’s the backstory to the Invisible Sun table top game

Doc be like “Oh I see you’ve returned to the living lands”
New D&D meme just dropped: Okay,
boomerwizard.There are NUMEROUS Tracey Jordan jokes just like this on 30 Rock
Ah man now I really want to play the game
Slightly OT, but how did you like the game?

You probably made the day of everyone in that room xD
To be honest, Wizard is the best way to play Avowed.
The book was the only mechanic I found interesting
