Obsidian seems scared people will compare Avowed to Skyrim, but it shouldn't be—the similarities are obvious, but the differences make it compelling(www.pcgamer.com)

Skyrim is one of the best games. Avowed looks similar but prettier and less janky. The comparison is giving it positive attention.

I always felt like Skyrim was… fine. People lost their minds about it but I never thought it was actually that good.

Yeah, vanilla was kinda meh. It was hilariously breakable and infinitely moddable though.

I played it at a lan party when it first came out. We all had a blast and after a day of playing we had wildly different stories and experiences.

Its an awesome game, and with mods you could get another games worth of fun out of it IMHO, but I don’t think its the end game of games like they treat it. It can be better (mods show just some of that potential), and they’re are other games.

I would say the same of Tainted Grail, honestly. That game’s combat honestly clicks pretty well imo. The two-handing in that game is fantastic.
