I know that I will be hated for it, but I would buy this game if I could use Cipher abilities in FP perspective. Only because I really want a "skyrimesque" game where I can use psionic powers...

Good point. I never found a good mod that adds "psionics" to Skyrim.

Yep. I trust nothing from him anymore, and was suspicious before that.
I now suspect his wife is black, his child is a mud duck, and the wife wears a strap-on to peg him on friday and saturday evenings.

It be funny if that was true. He keeps his personal life and politics to himself.

Not only Veilguard, but he also praised Forspoken. He is a shill **** with no integrity and his content is worse than garbage.

The gameplay vid i watched looked sparse, not nearly enough enemies. Unless they have dungeons packed with monsters this game will be a boring walking simulator.

Nenio is a Big Bang character of what people think a smart person talks and acts.

One of the most insufferable character I ever bear witness.

I should probably add that I believe chris avellone was the one who wrote the character as freelancer writer but left mid production ( it ******* shows) because of the false sexual harassment allegations.

"Avowed" is now "Avoid" for many gamers.
People are laughing at them on Twitter, but also very ****** off at the devs for this nonsense.

I just learned about the existence of this game thanks to a Fandom Pulse article that points out how this is yet another game that adds ******** pronouns.

Quite funny that this is an Xbox game since it was Gates himself who was pushing for that "don't put gender divisions in games" stupidity not that long ago.

Avellone didn't do any individual character writing. And she's not someone's idea of a smart person she's

No, I was quite angry at that because it was added after the game was already available for sale for over a year.

This is very sad news. The game was promising, if only for the lore. I blame Microsoft - they just recently declared doubling down on the agenda and sending related instructions to every game studio they own. Sadly, Obsidian is one of them.

I may check it out, but it'll be without giving money to the cursed wokewraith that Obsidian has become, nor the toxic anti-gaming clowns at Microsoft.

Wait. Justin E. Bell is not a composer for Avowed? But why? His score was so good in PoE diology. I dare to say he is the main reason why i liked it in the first place.
