I'm kind of interested in this but I never played PoE and don't know if I should get to that first.

#

Yeah I read that it's in the same universe as Pillars.

I never played PoE but the bits i seen of Avowed look interesting. I will try it as its on gamepass.

Avowed Reviews

Avowed is a first-person fantasy RPG set in the world of Eora, where your choices carve a path through war, intrigue, and ancient mysteries. Navigate a land in turmoil, forge powerful alliances or deadly rivalries, and wield magic and steel to shape the fate of the Living Landsโ€”and your own destiny.

#

Looking good according to reviews ๐ŸŽ‰

silent surge
#

I didn't know there was a premium upgrade available for game pass people. Off to make a purchase

rain mulch
#

Yeah, you get an art book and early access. No DLC content or anything.

round brook
#

looking at the reviews....i see the trends continue

unreal prairie
#

As someone that has played PoE1 and Deadfire... This one is absolutely ridiculous and disappointing. Yep, that kind of trend continues, and destroys once more๐Ÿ˜ž
Edit: also, it's very concerning how these kinds of games are increasingly populating the Game Pass subscription, while the ones that are truly great gems of Uniqueness and Creativity are getting removed from it. So sad, so damn sad.

So the game is not good?

#

You should post that in game events as well

cursive hound
#

how does this game relates to pillar of eternity?

#

Should i play as a blind chinese monk lol

frosty turret
#

Deadfire stuff is referenced in it

#

I'm about 8 hours into it, and I've barely touched PoE 1 & 2, I'm sure there is lore and story connections I'm missing, but I wouldn't say it's required.

haughty fossil
#

Curious to know if anyone had respawn bug in the fort

#

Enemies didn't spawn I mean but fixed with reloading

#

Played PoE so long ago, don't remember much tbh

#

i never played much of either game. is it in the same timeline

#

talk to me like im 5 years old

crude dune
#

I like they give you option to hide god touched features . But like I wish they had more god touched hair options. Having huge roots sticking out of my head or big barnacles just isnt appealing.

cursive hound
#

avowed will not leave game pass right? its a first party game correct

#

Anyone played Avowed for a good chunk amount of time? I wonder if someone can tell me if the game dialog choices really matter in a gamethrough? I came from bg3 where almost every dialog deceided a part of my fate in the game. Especially with the dices n stuff like that. Is avowed having these kind of mechanics too? Or is it already deceided and are these choices there just to let the player think he deceides something ๐Ÿ˜‰

frosty turret
#

Your choices matter, yes

frosty turret
#

This very much is a sequel to Pillars of Eternity 2

cursive hound
frosty turret
#

Depends on whether you want literally any context for what half the major people I've met in Avowed are talking about, lol. They bring up the events of Deadfire a lot

cursive hound
#

i played deadfire but i only played it long enough for the achievements

frosty turret
#

I played like 20 minutes of it cuz I don't do CRPGs, so nothing in Avowed makes a lick of sense to me ๐Ÿ˜†

cursive hound
#

whats crpg?

haughty fossil
#

involves a lot of saving and re-loading BongoHackercat

i really dislike those

Nothing wrong with that! What ever difficulty your comfortable playing on and can have fun !๐Ÿ˜Š

#

does series consoles have ray tracing like pc?

main creek
#

what do people think of the game so far?
I played for just over a hour yesterday and will play some more shortly I enjoying it so far. Some of the fights are quite tough at the start of the game.

main creek
#

apparently this comes in really helpful later in the game

crude dune
#

Definitely ,I saw that on a tip video on YouTube. I totally missed it in settings. Im like theres no way ill find these totems for these cool bonuses before I beat the game xd

haughty fossil
#

Uninstalled the game to try streaming it. Performance is better, not much lag. It's too blurry and compressed though. quagstare

#

It won't be leaving GP anytime soon so will get back to it maybe another time. Seemed good for the first few hours

crude dune
#

Performance has been fine for me. I have it installed.

@weary zephyr Posted vids have to follow server rules.

grand wraith
#

There were games in a fantasy setting before Skyrim, shockingly.

crude dune
#

Anyone else having sound issues? I had to turn voices up to 100 then turn my tv up some more to hear the voices . Then the music and sound effects was too loud so had to turn them down. I turned both down to like 5 and they still sound loud.

main grotto
#

It is a very enjoyable game so far. I'm 15 hrs in, no glitches or save game errors. I am just in my own tempo exploring the lands. The land is beautifull with the lightning and all. Character faces are a bit wack thou.

Onwards to explore and kill more spiders๐Ÿ˜‚

crude dune
#

๐Ÿ‘

#

Yea i been enjoying it too. Honestly the exploration is probably my favorite part. If an area looks interesting and you think it might be worth going to and checking out. It usually pays off. I feel like mt exploration is rewarded but at same time not hand holdy and guiding me to the rewards and loot. If that makes any sense. ๐Ÿ˜…

main grotto
#

i turned off game music so i can hear the "treasure/item" jingles better. And when i hear it.. i just gotta find it๐Ÿ˜‡.

fiery mauve
#

yeah! I'm really enjoying just walking around and seeing what I find :)

main creek
tribal axle
#

opening avowed finally

#

am i the only one who sets this brighter than it says to? ๐Ÿ‘€ Laugh

image.png
grand wraith
#

I always set those things brighter than advised.

#

It's like. that's the optimal setting for atmosphere, but optimal for my tired old eyes seeing things is different and I will gladly sacrifice atmosphere to that.

tribal axle
#

yeah i end up getting annoying at the squinting to see lol

grand wraith
#

Maybe I would accept the intended settings if there were a button to turn on item highlighting, or extra bright light for a second.

tribal axle
#

oooh yeah that wouls be great

silent surge
tribal axle
#

there is an item shimmer thing listed. but i havent started playing it so im not sure how it is. still just doing the settings ๐Ÿ‘€

grand wraith
#

The accessibility options in AC Valhalla are quite funny.

#

You can turn on a subtitle for cues in the environment you would normally only hear.

tribal axle
#

love that

grand wraith
#

So you see the words "wealth jingling" a lot.

tribal axle
#

๐Ÿ˜‚

#

i do like subtitles for enviromental stuff, but thats funny how it was named

#

im liking that i can set how long the subtitles stay on screen in this

grand wraith
#

It's even funnier because it seems to apply to almost anything you can loot, not just money.

tribal axle
#

now to spend an hour on character creation /hj

silent surge
grand wraith
#

Yeah it really is an incredible feature, it's just the specific word choices are funny sometimes.

tribal axle
#

hype- story mode option

rain mulch
#

Shame it also has an achievement for completing on the super hard difficulty.

tribal axle
#

yeah :(
i get it, but i def wont ever get that lol

silent surge
grand wraith
#

Depends who you ask. Some folks seem disappointed when you can get all the achievements for "playing the game normally". They want the achievements (or at least some) to for extraordinary feats.

silent surge
#

That's why I said it's how "I" feel. I feel like anyone should be able to get the 100% completion and I really dislike trophies/achievements,like that. But that's mostly because I know I don't be getting it and will end up either with 1 missed, or won't bother chasing them because of that 1 existing.

grand wraith
#

Fair, you did. Sorry about that.

#

I mean, I actually feel the same way, but I've heard the other perspective.

rain mulch
#

Yeah, I agree. I don't think difficulty level should be involved with achievements. If you want to add in something challenging, then do it some other way.

#

What I hate even more is when you have to beat the game on multiple difficulty levels and they're not all unlocked from the start, so they expect several playthroughs.

silent surge
#

It definitely messes with the game completion stats that some of you chase

im not a fan of the movement of the mini map. but i'll get used to it.

#

well, compass i guess is what its called

tribal axle

frosty turret
#

I have a magic electric pistol, big fan ๐Ÿ˜†

#

Also, I keep forgetting that holding down RT when you're using a ranged weapon lets you do power shots

tribal axle
#

im not too far in, but i like it so far

#

i think it will take me a long time to finish

frosty turret
#

Just a warning: The item upgrade economy is horrendous, just hoard everything and sell it so you can buy better tiers of gear instead

tribal axle
#

can you rephrase that because i dont understand what you mean by that

frosty turret
#

You can upgrade your gear to higher tiers using materials you find, but it takes ridiculous amounts of said materials so it's not worth it. Just hoard all the loot you collect and sell it then buy higher tier gear from shops instead

tribal axle
#

oh ok. thanks for the tip

main creek
#

item upgrade economy is expensive but you do not get much for selling and its fairly expensive to buy good gear.

crude dune
#

I think its actually better to break down all gears except uniques for materials. And if your lacking in materials shops have them for relatively cheap

tribal axle
#

I've been pretty tired today, so im just doing a couple hours at a time. but its fun so far

crude dune
#

But so far I found all the materials I needed to upgrade my gear buy just exploring breaking down items and doing quests.

crude dune
#

Rocking melee,range,magic or somewhere in between?

tribal axle
#

swapping between a wand/shield combo and a bow atm

crude dune
#

Also pro tip. Always buy lock picks from any vendor you see that have them. Their cheap and super handy . For locked doors and chests

tribal axle
#

yeah i figured lol

#

first person i saw selling them i was like.. yeah all of those are mine

crude dune
#

You cant make them. But occasionally find them as loot buy most time gotta buy from vendors

tribal axle
#

i am playing on story mode, so i'll see how that goes when i get to lockpicking things

crude dune
#

Locking is just hold down to unlock

cursive hound
#

its a good thing that the game wont leave game pass anytime soon

crude dune
#

100% chance always

#

They don't break just get used uo

#

Up

#

But some doors or higher tier chests takes multiple lockpicks to open.

cursive hound
crude dune
#

Nope

#

Literally just use to unlock no lock pick mini game or breaking mechanic

grand wraith
tribal axle
#

valid tactic lol

crude dune
#

I mean I always liked Bethesda lockpicking.

#

It did get annoying if you didnt have any perks in lock picking and came across a high tier lock tho

#

That was one of the things I always got in Bethesda rpgs first. A couple tiers in lock picking xd

tribal axle
#

i found them to be fun in the beginning and then quickly become just annoying lol

#

the longer into the game the more i am like.. ok i solved this puzzled 8 times. pls skip

cursive hound
#

yeah. I still havent reached the first port after u got the the boat

crude dune
#

How? The boat literally puts you on the port xD

cursive hound
#

i have been binge watching my tv shows

tribal axle
#

lol ok fair

crude dune
#

Ah

tribal axle
#

we all have done the long pause situation

cursive hound
#

plus i have keep restarting cause i hated how my character look like

crude dune
#

Me other day I was playing different game forgot all about avowed even turned xbox off. Came back went to play and it was still on resume. I was pretty impressed it saved resume function even after having xbox off

cursive hound
#

remind me avowed is a first party game right? so it will probably wont leave game pass

crude dune
#

Idk all I know is it made by obsidian.

grand wraith
#

Quick Resume saves a snapshot of the game state to the SSD. It should be fairly durable.

tribal axle
#

its going to take me many months to finish so i hope not lol

crude dune
#

Ill probably have it finished by end of next month...maybe.

cursive hound
#

100 percent or story only?

crude dune
#

100%

frosty turret
#

I'm dual wielding grimoire and a pistol, it's great ๐Ÿ˜†

fiery mauve
#

breaking down Unique items can give you adra

frosty turret
#

I might start doing that tbh, I have unique melee weapons I don't use cuz I'm a pistol mage

crude dune
#

True but you wont ever get those uniques back. If you want to test out different builds.

#

And adra can be found on vendors.

main grotto
#

I just break common, and sell fine i dont intend to use, all the uniques i keep. I like the fact that you can unburden by sending stuff to your camp. Mostly hording all is what i tend to be doing in these games. I also buy up all health and magic potions, ohw and keys. Always rough when you get to the end of a dungeon and you lack a key๐Ÿ˜‡

crude dune
#

Same. After I get so far in the game with my build. I may start breaking down some of the uniques I know ill never use though.

main grotto
#

And in battle, take out the healers/wizards/shamans whatever depending on the species first otherwise the fight is unnecessary hard and you will be gulping potions like its new years eve

crude dune
#

Almost impossible on the hardest difficulty (the one im on) if you dont take out the healer and conjurers early your doomed.

main grotto
#

And somewhat above, i agree on the darkness. I am walkinh with my flaming sword but it doesnt illuminate jack

crude dune
#

I got brightness just a tad higher then default . Been working. I didn't want to make it too bright and ruin the vistas xD

main grotto

true, dont want that washed out filter!

Sounds exhausting

raven comet

Makes them feel more authentic vs powering through it all

rain mulch
#

A game on an easier difficulty, or default difficulty, doesn't necessarily mean it's one that you'd power through. Games can still be challenging and long.

raven comet
#

True

#

My preference is all ๐Ÿ™‚

fickle panther
# raven comet True

i dont have the skill anymore to do that. got old my reaction time is getting slow. and also with not alot of time for games i just want to get through it. if i get to the end at all lol.

main grotto
#

I just want to enjoy it, not the youngest also and dont want to be on the edge of my couch endlesy dying to get better at avoiding hits. Only thing that really changes on harder settings is you die quicker and the enemy die slower.๐Ÿ˜‚. But to each their own enjoyment of what and how to game in their free time.

#

also thank god for internet, those treasure maps.. geez๐Ÿคญ

fickle panther
#

im not far enough into the game to get a tresure map yet.

tribal axle
#

playing on story mode is still challenging on this game, as a note. its honestly nice to not just be handed it with one hit weapons lol

#

juuuust enough that i feel like im still getting a good experience

main creek
#

found my frist bug with the find rangers side mission. I was attacked as I went to talk to the NPC and now she will not play her cut scene when trying to talk to her. Anyone else had this?

tribal axle
#

i havent done that one yet, but i was planning on it today.. will let you know

tribal axle
#

i will never get over killing a thing and looting it and it being like.. a body part

#

is so weird ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

loot: enemies tongue; just casually

grand wraith
#

You know what's even weirder, though, Tes?

#

When you have a quest to gather 8 moose tongues, and you kill a moose only to discover it had no tongue!

tribal axle
#

not wrong!

grand wraith
#

That happens a lot in MMORPGs and it's fine but if you think about it... ugh

tribal axle
#

hahaha i never thought about it that way, but both things are equally odd

#

like.. i killed a spider and then like.. only get 1 leg?

#

where are the other legs??

grand wraith
#

Yes, that was the other thing I had in mind. I didn't mention it directly, but you got there! Or claws! Creatures have more than one claw! Or fang!

tribal axle
#

๐Ÿ˜‚

#

games are funny like that

tribal axle
#

aaaa my game crashed 0_jz_db_misspinki_cry

luckily i had saved from paranoia a couple minutes ago

restarting with fingers crossed

Nice. So far I have not had a crash. Hope that was the last time it happens for you.

it loaded up just fine, so i'm happy enough

Howโ€™s the game on Xbox Series X? I kinda want to try it out soon! :0

Pretty solid

prisma meadow
# frosty turret Pretty solid

Nice! One thing Iโ€™ve been seeing here and there is some peopleโ€™s Xbox Series Xโ€™s shutting down while playing the game. Should wait for the game to get receive more updates or should I just try it out soon?

frosty turret
#

I'm ten hours in and I haven't had that happen shruganimated

prisma meadow
#

Nice. One thing I saw in common was theirs were launch consoles. ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

#

Iโ€™ll give it a shot then! :D

south hazel
#

Noticed you can install via Battlenet as well with gamepass, thatโ€™s interesting they give you the choice. I might do that if the Xbox achievements sync up properly

main grotto
#

Having 0 issues on series X,played a good few hrs on sat and again on sunday. No crashes. Also you can set autosave time, so if you fall/fail or crash it doesnt put you back a huge time..

no problems here either

Seriously still having fun lol
It's really not my typical sort of game but it's been great. Story mode ftw.

Do you think it could contend to be game of the year or far to early to tell

main creek
#

could be

tribal axle
#

I would vote for it , but it's also only February ๐Ÿ˜‚

cursive hound
#

too early.

main creek
#

Yeah I hope they do a DLCs if they keep the momentum and Avowed is still been talked about it have a high chance

crude dune
#

I like the game. But nah I dont think its game of the year material.

tribal axle
crude dune
#

Lets be honest. GTA 6 will probably take goty if it actually releases this year.

tribal axle
#

only if it hits the time line

#

not sure the cut off date

frosty turret
#

Indiana Jones should be the Xbox game that gets the GOTY nomination tbh

main grotto
#

Its not groundbreaking or outstanding, so GotY is a bridge too far. But it need not be to be a fun experience.

Also on another note beware you cannot keep playing after the final mission. It will hint you when you get to the final mission. I am not there yet but i went to search for possible DLC and i stumbled upon that piece if information.

frosty turret
#

Also no NG+, which is a severe ding against a game that doesn't let you keep playing after you beat it. The grind in Avowed is meh enough that I have zero desire to do it again on a second character, I'd love to go through everything on NG+ tho

south hazel
#

Sounds like base game Fallout 3 situation

main creek
haughty fossil
#

Making sure to keep lots of saves is a must it seems

#

Glad I saved before handing in a certain quest time. First dialogue option bugged out the quest ||mermaid's den||

#

Makes sense to wait a bit after launch if you're buying the game outright

#

second reload, it worked fine. No idea how it happened. NPC just acted as if I never had the quest item

frosty turret
#

I HATE how electric status effects will endlessly trigger on your squad because they'll just shock each other back and forth forever

main creek
#

yeah its a bug

fickle panther
#

I wasnt sure if i was going to like this game im not a real big elder scrolls fan. but im really digging the combat and exploration in this. story is kinda meh but im having fun with it.

cursive hound
#

I will probably come back to avowed when i have the time

south hazel
#

Having fun with it so far will pick back up on it after Iโ€™ve spent some time in monster hunter

tribal axle
#

I am supposed to be changing areas but I can't leave bc I haven't found everything yet ๐Ÿ‘€

#

find all the thingssss PraiseTheGay

crude dune
#

Same. I found every single thing I could before I left first area. XD

#

I've found a lot in the second area. But I dont think ill find everything. (Its bigger area) ๐Ÿ˜…

tribal axle
#

this is a game i will probably end up buying even though its on game pass

#

its been a long time since ive been invested in a game thats main point isn't cuteness Laugh

cursive hound
tribal axle
#

i'll just get it on xbox. dont want to have to start the game all the way over haha

cursive hound
#

I didnt get too far yet

tribal axle
#

its on pc so it doesnt matter what platform it comes from, to me

cursive hound

I just prefer steam for the fps counter on steam

fickle panther

support the devs MOUSEcheer

main creek
#

I have to say as someone that didnt play Pillars of Eternity. I went in not expecting to much and I can not put the game down. I did look at the upgrade pack but just for 2 skins not worth it. If they had have added 1 or 2 DLC packs in the upgrade but of course charged more I would have happily upgraded no question of it.

prisma meadow
crude dune
#

Im nearing the end of the game. I started to skip all the side quests half way through the second zone. Was not interesting at all. The main story is decent enough to make me want to see the end. The combat is pretty good, where the game shined most for me was the environment and exploration.

frosty turret
#

Yeah the side quests really don't reward you much

main grotto
#

Im lvl 18 atm, i am still as much sidequests as possible. The exploration is what keeps me doing them. That furry lady voice is getting annoying tbh..๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

fickle panther

#

also surprised me how much buffs you can eat n drink, and god the "fireworks" the magic attacks bring to the screen.. sometimes a bit too much, but its colorfull and sparkly๐Ÿคญ

#

I am almost done on vacation and gonna get my hands on Avowed this weekend. Ive seen tons of different reviews. And first and foremost question i have. Is this game more a rpg or more of a action adventure game?

fickle panther
#

just think of it as skyrim on a smaller scale. if you just rush into fights without upgrading your gear or making sure you have enough food and potions you will be at quite a disadvantage depending on where you are on the map.

Patch 1.2.4 Notes

Greetings Envoys, A new patch is now live! This update brings important fixes and improvements, so be sure to update your game when it becomes available. We truly appreciate all of your reports and feedbackโ€”itโ€™s invaluable in helping us identify and address issues to improve the game. Your suppor...

#

Upgrade materials (metal, wood, leather) are now more consistently available across stores in each region.
Upgrade materials now properly refresh when store stock updates.

#

praise the gods

crude dune
#

Doesnt help me now. I already beat the game ๐Ÿ˜†

#

It is nice though. Although I didn't really come across material issues,got most of what I needed from monsters and looting around the world.

#

Though to be fair I did stop exploring and upgrading half way through second area,turned it on story mode and just went through the main quests

frosty turret
#

Honestly if they're gonna drop good updates that quickly I might wait a month or two to finish it so it plays better, lol

main grotto
#

I do think the upgrade system and its material cost stop me from trying different unique weapons. I mean, the non uniques are just there to break or sell, i hardly pay attention to them. But I'm not sure if i'm better off selling or breaking them for small material gain.

What is found in the wild or from enemies does not refresh, so the only option is to move forward or to refresh stores. So you could play the go to camp n sleep but that breaks the flow.

Also lots of unique stuff but i don't feel any real advantage from any weapon.. its just make sure you have enough health/magic potions. Watch those bars, kill their healers first and you will be fine. Wether you play with your wand(pun intended), or axe, bow, pistol or lance.

The exploration and ooeee i hear a shimer is the main plus, but i mostly dont look at what is a actually in the treasure, or what the uniqueness is.. just put it in me bag and go forward๐Ÿ˜‚

Still enjoyable but there is very little depth in building your character imo.

For now onwards to The Garden!

frosty turret
#

Material upgrading gets heinous once you start dealing with Superior gear

#

I'm on the ||fourth|| map and honestly feel like I should drop the game til we get more updates, the grind is absolutely not worth it

fiery mauve
frosty turret
#

I know, it doesn't really help once your gear is Superior +2 and leveling it more requires way too much of the higher tier materials. I've explored like 80% of the first three maps and done all the side quests besides building totems, and I've killed a LOT of random creatures. The material drop rate isn't high enough to support upgrading higher tier gear, or at least not for more than one weapon. I've been using the same pistol for a while now because I literally can't acquire enough materials in the game to upgrade more than just it to the level needed to carry me through endgame

After having just slogged through to get the achievements for maxing a weapon and an armor, I can say I did not enjoy that. There is a skill in the ranger tree that can make your upgrades cheaper (what that really means is combining lesser components into greater is cheaper by 25%, so instead of needing 4 you need 3, and that definitely helped, only wish I'd done it much earlier in the game). Buy components at all the merchants (especially the cheaper stuff, not necessarily the adra). Merchants do restock eventually (didn't pay close enough attention, but by the end I was going to camp, then circling through the merchants and repeating to buy stuff). Just hit the point of no return...we'll see how it ends

frosty turret
#

Yeah I'm not enjoying the late game upgrade grind, I put the game down for a bit til we get more QOL updates

fiery mauve

I'm getting materials from breaking down stuff too, especially the unique stuff

frosty turret
#

Yeah I broke down everything that doesn't work for my build, there's not enough skill points or materials in the game to experiment anyway

just as i said/typed๐Ÿ˜‡. For me, almost towards the end i just run with what i have. I hope for new players in the future they add or change the material-upgrade system

This game looks so good I have 79 hours in it so far. Pretty much finished the game but haven't gone though the the last area. Just exploring and running side quests upgrading

i think it is gonna really depend on your play style and what weapons etc you like to use

#

im not really into melee builds so i dont put much into anything for that sort of thing :)

Is the update Now can free room After The final Boss or not?

main creek
#

no, you can just save and reload a save if you want to free roam

stone marlin
#

Oh alr

main grotto
#

which is kinda sad tbh, hoping for dlc to fix it๐Ÿ˜Š

main creek
#

I wouldn't hold your breath on that Outer worlds got DLC but never free roam. It doesn't make sense to add the option either because nothing respawns.

main grotto
#

yeah thats true, but some people might've missed sidequests or uncomplited treasure hunts.๐Ÿค”.. ohw well.. i'll be done before Atomfall!

Is it a stargate?? Hehe

Is there any armour/rings that provides an increase in Resolve? Basically I'm currently at lvl 9 resolve & I need to hit lvl 12 for a (I think) peaceful option. I can eat a wild mushroom stew which add 2 Ivls but I still need 1 additional but the only thing I can think off is finding an armour/ring that provides a resolve buff. Would appreciate if anyone could tell me if it's in the game & where I can find it

main creek

In fact you can reset your ability tree and apply more of what you need

Still playing this leftshark

#

On third area, just taking my time with it. For the most of time, xcloud has been great. Some moments of lag but glad I have the option.

#

About 25h in so probably play more now to finish the main questline.

#

Dunno if I messed up the second area but I got a quest failed pop up stepping out of a cave and events suggest it was avoidable ||burning of the city||. Hm, oh well

#

Finally finished it this week after 40-odd hours, enjoyed the journey. Not perfect but I liked it for the most part. jamesbean

#

Having played Pillars of Eternity 1 helped a lot with the lore of adra and animancy. Though didn't play Deadfire so some gaps of knowledge there, might play that eventually but CRPGs feel tedious at times.
