This preview is pretty positive. Here's a hands-on preview from Remap that is a bit more mixed: https://remapradio.com/articles/avowed-preview-xbox/
No kidding. From the article,
If these quotes ring true in the final game, that's a hard pass. I want RPGs, action-oriented or not, to allow me to play a role. A million games can make fantasy look pretty, Obsidian needs to make it interesting.
that's what i'm saying! I hope the quests are more dense with writing in the final release. Well-designed quests with clever writing are the entire appeal of an Obsidian RPG!
After playing part of their game Outer Worlds, I'm not surprised. I thought the writing was alright, but the game felt lacking and empty. I was surprised because I've only ever heard good things about New Vegas. I haven't played New Vegas yet but I'm assuming it's a much better time
You'd be right in my opinion. New Vegas is incredible. But something felt missing from the outer worlds, and I was hoping they would find it in avowed.
