I assume the people confused as to why 2025 obsidian is nothing like 2014 are confused because they think writing is like making mcdonalds
Is 2025 McDonalds like 2014 McDonalds?
Other than price, sure.

I wouldn't be so sure. Some of us got a localization patch in 2022.

If they just made it more like Tainted Grail, it could've been good.

Every time I remember Avowed exists I laugh until it hurts so I like to bump the thread and dance on the grave a little.

Why the **** is my OPERATING SYSTEM trying to sell me garbage?

Microsoft needs to be put out of business.
You may as well not bother replying to my posts if it's to argue anything except concrete facts or your personal opinion. I still probably won't see it.
Reject your retarded-wing political programming and learn to think.

I dunno which one, figure it out. Also installed it a year or two ago so I don't remember every option I ticked.
I can tell you I'm on Windows 11 connected with my Microsoft Account and don't get that notification. :scratch-pipe:
Also I remember turning off some of these settings

Played a little, aside from some some cringe dialogue choices and just boring melee combat, it's alright. Not much woke **** aside from the starting character creation.

Dropped it, I have no strong feelings about it it's alright

I heard all the companions are insufferable libtards or longhoused gay *****. Did you experience any of the companions in your time playing or were you over it before even getting to that point? Honestly I think this is another case where the woke stuff is almost inconsequential because the game is too boring and garbage to even get to the worst parts xD

Because your OS is spyware. You shouldn't be allowing it to phone home at all. Block it from reaching Microsoft entirely and go no-contact, otherwise it is spying on you.

I only interacted with the fish ****** companion, who seemed pretty cool. I think I got to the first boss (who was a bear with these spores all over) and kinda dipped. The bosses are also boring as ****, it's just dodge and attack at nauseum.

Most of the gameplay seemed to focus on magic rather then melee, magic actually being fun and expansive with its variety. But Melee was *** and basic

Crazy that they're not even embarrassed by this and not a single person will be fired

Just realized I already did this on the last page, still impressed by how developers keep releasing flop after flop without any repercussions :(

Fallout 2 has more players right now than Avowed.

Imagine if you had the job protection game developers have
