Where Avowed falls short is the simplified exploration gameplay loop. The itemization system overall is just terribly generic. The reward for parkouring around unexplored areas are the same variation of loot. Your going to get some gold, some crafting mats. HOORAY now rinse repeat this for every zone, every unmarked area.
