Community for CRPG games and other RPG gaming discussions. Witcher, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Baldurs Gate as well as indie RPGs (Underrail, Avernum, Space Wreck etc.). Focus is on CRPGs, but discussion around JPRGs, ARPGs and hybrid games with RPG components is also welcome.

Tabletop/pen & paper RPG discussion is not a good fit for this community. Check out !rpg@ttrpg.network for TT/P&P RPG discussions.

Memes are not banned, but the overwhelming focus is on discussions, releases and articles. Try and post memes (on an occasional basis) that would make people who don't like memes admit "OK! That was a good one!".

I kind disapointed because of the promisses of this game being the "new skyrim" i bought both him and KCD2 on launch (i never did that before) during my vacation.

I confess i wasn't waiting KCD2 became one of my favorite games and the most wonderful sequels for a game i've experienced on my life, but on the first part of Avowed i was more invested than Kindom Come.

The game isn't bad by any mean, except for the NPCs suffer the from ther "curse of the UE5 face" who makes everyone looking like they are using IG filters all the time.

The combat is basic but good, the worldbuilding is fantastic and i genuine stop sometimes to admire the scenario around me, what really hooked me up was the exploration and the gameplay, especially on vertical explorarion, parkour and jump.

Most of the story are very forgetful but it have his moments like

Tap for spoilerwhen you save the couple whose the husband was blind because of poisoning, and you discover than the reason of they are there are because of a murder, and if you choose save then, later you find them, in another region of the map, and get the best armor for the sniper build, as i was doing that exactly build

To put it short, i won't regret buying it, but i definitively would buy on sale instead full price.

I had to look up that kcd2 is Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. For anyone else who didn't know, now you do.

I really liked both Pillars games and am interested in the world of those games. But Avowed looks so un-RPG-y, I don't know if I will ever give it a try.

I have about 5 hours in the first Pillars Of Eternity, but the lack of turn-based combat didn't work for me. Loved the setting and some of writing.

Really looking forward to the official turn-based mode being released for Pillars.

I saw a gameplay stream of the early game of Avowed and it looked like a console action-RPG, not really a good fit considering why I like RPGs.

There's now a public beta you can opt into that adds turn based to PoE1. https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/136721-public-beta-for-turn-based-mode-opens-november-5th/

Edit: didn't read where you were already aware. My bad

It has a surprising amount of branching paths that do have an impact on the story. There's an achievement for pissing off all of the companions to the point that they leave you permanently.

Meh. It doesn't sound like it's doing anything special and I don't like Microsoft. If it ever goes on sale for like $10, maybe.
