Respectfully disagree with your opinion but many reviewers seem to have raised similar points to you so I'm wondering if I'm an outlier for enjoying it so much.

Was Avowed a Success? - Laura Fryer -
Josh Sawyer says there's "a lot of people" at Obsidian who want to make a Pillars of Eternity Tactics game after Avowed, but the "fanbase is not humungous"Yeah it's a matter of personal taste -
[TerakJK] Avowed vs The Outer Worlds - Obsidian's previous game - Attention to detail.I couldn't stand much of Outer Worlds tbh. Avowed has been a 100% upgrade from my perspective. Not being able to kill NPCs and having no repercussions for stealing just seemed like they were transposing PoE mechanics to the first person perspective. -
Josh Sawyer says there's "a lot of people" at Obsidian who want to make a Pillars of Eternity Tactics game after Avowed, but the "fanbase is not humungous"I really don't like tactics style gameplay which only a couple of exceptions. Traditional RealTime with Pause is much more appealing to me after playing so much of the old Baldurs Gate games. This is partially why I could never get into the Divinity: OS games and why I've been avoiding BG3. I usually just want to instagib scrubs instead of entering a series of elaborate menus. -
Valve's monthly survey reveals that almost 45% of Steam users on PC are still using Windows 10 even with the sword of Damocles hanging over themI just swapped to Ubuntu on my straggler/media server Windows 10 desktop. Have been running Gentoo on another PC for years but never had so much trouble as trying to setup bumblebee with a GTX960 - holy crap nvidia suck so hard. The other PC is all AMD so I was living in blissful ignorance. -
Amazon's previous VP of Prime Gaming said they "tried everything" to disrupt SteamTheir Luna product seems to be different to Steam. It's a streaming platform like Playstation Now or the Google Stadia one that got shut down. The other games that they've got on there primarily seem to be DRM-free GOG codes, mixed with some for the Epic store. Maybe they meant they were taking on Steam by boosting their competitors? -

Avowed Review ThreadWatching the review from Gmanlives I was struck by how much the game looked like PoE from a first person perspective. Including the mechanics. Like he was complaining about the objects in the world not reacting and stealing not being a mechanic but that's exactly how it works in PoE (and Baldurs Gate). Also the spells look like they have moved over 1:1. -
Digimon Story Time Stranger - Announcement TrailerDigimon Survive was a great VN from a few years back. Darker than I'd expected. Almost a spiritual successor to Devil Survivor. -
Avowed Review ThreadWill definitely be dipping into gamepass to try this one out -
Alan Wake 2 is finally profitable over a year after release, says RemedyI've been waiting for a sale before grabbing it on xbox. Moderate fan of the original AW and absolutely loved Control. Remedy are amongst the most unique devs out there right now.
