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)

“awful game” what is with this rhetoric that people no longer have an in between? A game is either a masterpiece or “awful” these days, why?? Why can’t a game just be fine or good but not great? Why must things be one extreme or another? Saying Skyrim is “awful” just makes you sound stupid honestly

Then if this game is compared to Skyrim, be prepared to hate it?

I thought the combat, leveling, story, stability, and scaling were all kind of medicore to bad.

I mean I hated elder rings and I thought it was trash, but I know there’s no way that a game that popular is terrible, so I say “it’s not for me”. If you want to live in a stupid world without nuance, have at it.
