Another game studio gone to trash. I paid extra for early access and what a disappointment this game was. The developer claims it is an updated Skyrim. No, not a fair comparison, as Skyrim is at least playable. I paid extra for early access and the game crashes constantly. I tried different solutions on forums, and even today have had no luck fixing the crashes. Why offer a game, at a premium price, if it doesn't even play?
The game is pretty, but in a weird fornite/Pixar looking way, similar to Veilguard, cartoony NPCs that look like mannnequins with awkward facial expressions. The towns look pretty, until you realize they are similar to the pre rendered backgrounds of N64 games, like Ocarina of Time. Doors to buildings don't open, NPCs are sparce, and have no reaction to you stealing from them at all. In Skyrim, a game released in 2011 you can interact with towns, and pretty much every object in them. Avowed was supposed to be the next Skyrim, but it lacks any of the features of a much older game.
The combat is the only good feature, when my game doesn't crash. I had hoped there would be a fix now that full release was out on the 18th. But, alas, the game is still bugged. I have 20 hours in this game, and will be refunding it. Don't waste your money, or time on this broken mess
