What did avowed do wrong?

That's what I'm talking about...

It's not that they do anything wrong, it's that the don't do anything well.

It was less an RPG and more just a fps shooter with the same bare minimum of RPG elements as every other fps shooter.

The biggest games are the blandest because they're trying to appeal to everyone. But even people not into RPGs can like a good rpg. Which is why BG3 and ~~CK2~~ KCD2 are so popular.

Big studios aren't underestimating their audience, they're just counting on video game enthusiasts buying every major game.

I ran thru it on game pass, and it was alright, but I was kind of just going thru the motions. So I said "terrible" but I meant it was terrible at being a big budget triple A RPG.

It felt like a generic fps from 20 years ago, the only flavor was from existing IP pasted over it.

The way I would explain it is: they aren't just battling the current gen titles but also all the games released before them. So meh just gets drowned out in the sea of already released games.

Ah maybe that's why I had fun, I don't really like role play part so much as having enough choices to do what I want as myself and they got very close

I'll probably do another run with the arquebussy instead of just fists this time though
