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.
Hey, Pillars Of Eternity was a game that looked like a game from 1999!
And it was all the better for it! 2011-ish was a pretty crap era for RPGs. No wonder that the indie and crowd funding revolution was about to burst.
Sometimes I think the "look" of the game gets to much focus. To often we are seeing modern games that look amazing but used those incredible graphics as a crutch to hopefully make people not notice lackluster storylines, abysmal play mechanics or any other short coming.
We have seen over and over that amazing graphics do not make amazing games with many great games having CRAP for graphics. For an RPG the focus needs to be story/lore and then great game mechanics, with graphics far down the list of most important feature.
