From what I saw so far, Avowed looked like Skyrim... a game from 2011... I don't think I want to play another Skyrim in a less interesting setting.
Devs should be really careful with Avowed and also DA:4. Starfield is proof that procedurally generated janky outdated mechanics and 2002-style combat just aren’t gonna cut it anymore.
On the other hand I don’t know how a serious dev like obsidian or bioware can make something as bad as starfield, but I won’t be surprised.
What really surprised me about both PoE games is how poorly was their setting sold. I don't say there are no good ideas behind it, or the world history is bland. Unfortunately you learn most of the lore through encyklopedia, instead doing so through quests and exploration (like eg. in Dragon Age games). PoE2 was better in that regard, but there, even if I finished the game, I don't remember a single NPC or location from it. Seriously, nothing stuck with me. None. I remember more from PoE, the game I haven't even finished.
So, unless Obsidian finds a solid way to interest me with Eora in Avowed, I feel it will be yet another Obsidian disappointment for me.
