I wonder how much he has spent on microtransactions. Thousands of dollars?

Avowed previews receiving pretty unanimous praise. Even the combat is receiving praise. Carrie Patel clarifies they are working on a Performance Mode.

Really looking forward to avowed. Despite not being a big fan of the change in tone from the initial teaser I'm still interested.

As a longtime Obsidian fan, I was actually really surprised when I saw the tone in the initial teaser because it was so drastically darker and grittier than Obsidian's previous games. Before, they were certainly serious settings, but the presentation was always a bit more lighthearted in nature. When they showed the rebooted version of Avowed, I immediately felt that looked more like a traditional Obsidian game lol. 

It would've been really interesting to see their take on an Elder Scrolls game, but that may have been putting too much pressure on the studio. Especially since they're not that big of a studio and they would've been trying to tackle a style of game that is now so immediately recognizable considering Skyrim alone is one of the best selling games ever, that they kinda would've been setting themselves up for failure.

Hell, Avowed may still run into some of those issues because a couple of previews today are still trying to claim it's Obsidian take on Elder Scrolls the game isn't even open world to begin with. I'm really looking forward to it regardless though. The more I see of it, the more excited I get! Biggest issue I'm gonna have is balancing playtime between Avowed and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 lol

Yeah, I'm going all in on KCD 2 first, then get to avowed

I just hope exploration feels great but otherwise I am not so confident in Avowed after The Outer worlds....

I am not sure if delaying the game to February next year was smart, it just feels like xbox wanted to have something early next year but their is a high Risk it is going to be DOA.
It releases in the same week or weeks as Assasins creed shadows, Kingdom deliverance 2, Monster Hunter Wilds, Yakuza Pirate game, Tomb Raider IV/V/VI remastered, DragonKin the Banished, Sid Meier nr X, Lost Records and more.... I am sure any of use has a game in this list they are more interested in to play (for me Yakuza and TR remastered)
