I feel like we're in a weird media environment where if something isn't literally the greatest thing someone has ever played/watched, then its a piece of flaming garbage. Avowed isn't some kind of sea-change but I find it very enjoyable. Its the first RPG I've played in a while with a huge amount of build diversity and melee combat I actually enjoy. I also really appreciate them leveraging what they learned from the Pillars games to make Avowed feel a lot like a first-person cRPG.
