Sure, sure - slightly altered the post now so it’s more informative.

Avowed is still going to have to wait a few more hours.  Unexpected guests about to arrive.

Genuinely wonder how many install/play Avowed from Battle.net compared to Windows Store, I imagine it will be a test for Microsoft to determine if they start putting everything on Battle.net or maybe it was a special case because it was an RPG and Battle.net's main audience is WoW so there's some overlap, I suppose we'll see if South of Midnight launches on there too, or maybe Doom.

Started on Avowed even though I'm not quite done with Indiana Jones yet, will try and play some of both each day until I get Indy done. My early impressions of Avowed:

+Fun combat, basically Elder Scrolls but better (hopefully Bethesda takes some lessons from it)
+Game looks great running with fairly high settings on my PC
+Story seems interesting so far
+Good music and voice acting so far

-Performance isn't great on a somewhat older mid-range CPU like mine, with a pretty good amount of stutter, and neither lowering graphics settings nor turning on frame generation really helps all that much with the stuttering issue, it's just that Unreal 5 is very CPU intensive and you really need a newer CPU with 3D Cache to run UE5 games properly (though it runs significantly better on my PC than Indiana Jones does at least)

-The character creation is somewhat lackluster, not as many sliders as I would like to see, and body customization is even more limited, with only a male and female human and elf body, for 4 bodies total. No lighting change option and no option to change your character after initial creation.
