There is some shanenigans with the enemy level in this game, you can't have bosses and enemies with 3 skulls in such early missions, even if i explore everything, kill everything and do every sidequest i still don't have enough materials to upgrade everything to level 3 or even 2, like the game kinda want you to experiment with different loadouts but upgrade costs are a bit high so it's hard to chose what to upgrade and you end by not upgrading anything


I heard shill up and acg talking about this problem but in the hardest difficulty is even more pronounced because enemies are super tanky, i feel like i'm almost always 1-2 levels behinds.

Other than that it's a fun game, but i would really love if there were some marks on enemies or some gore, it would make look the combat even better.

Are you breaking down weapons you don't want for their materials?

 

[GymWolf]

The dual guns seems so goddamn fun

I'm currently using that setup, double charge shot with rallenty for the win.

 

[ClosBSAS]

Hit 12 hrs still in the first zone lmao. Shits so good. Amazing combat.

 

[GymWolf]

Are you breaking down weapons you don't want for their materials?

Some of them, i'm keeping 2 of every type of weapon because i'm still ciclying all of them to understand what i want to upgrade.

 

[GymWolf]

You weren't able to level it up to a Fine Wand or buy one in Paradis? I'm still in the first area in I was able to level up two of my Common Daggers into Fine Daggers.

Fine is still not enough for some encounters that are very early.

I fought a 3 skull story boss and i was tickling his balls with my weapons, he died with a smile in his face

Ok. Also are you using the crafting section of the workbench to turn weaker materials into stronger materials? For the Aldra a lot of it i just bought from vendors

I'm the type of guy that usually never bother with crafting in rpgs, i like to use what i find during exploration or win against bosses or rewards for quests etc. but it seems like i have to recalibrate myself a bit for this game, dismantling and crafting seems paramount in avowed.

Third person mode is broken

Been playing in third, no issues


Are you guys buying gear or just upgrading what you have?

 

[Mister Wolf]

I knew I wanted a dual dagger crit fishing build. Now it's turning into a flaming crit build.

It’s so weird, I had a dream about playing this game in VR the other night and it was amazing.

I have very exciting dreams obviously

Yeah this game is seeing amazing progress. After my post a specific profile was made that runs even better than the video I posted. That's less than 24 hours and 10-15fps better performance and less glitches.

This game is a win for VR and the standard version isn't even out yet.

 

[Krathoon]

I am liking the combat. I am still in the tutorial area. You even run into a person that you can't really trust.

The combat seems fairly complex. The lizard men keep bashing me with their shields.

I'm watching Shroud playing it now, he seems to enjoy it quite a lot

I'm surprised there's not a Gamepass OT of some kind. I can't seem to figure out how to log into it on my laptop, it keeps telling me it's the wrong account in the microsoft store. Anyone else have this issue or is it a problem to try to play on two different PCs at different times?

You can't play until the 18th unless you buy the premium upgrade https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/-/9n4h79fddwlc

Was just trying to use it, but I figured it out. It was because my daughter was logged into "Microsoft store" on the laptop and it was conflicting. Clicking "review" in game pass does nothing which is what was confusing me.

Different PC’s should be fine, maybe it is defaulting to someone else’s account on the other PC.

Ohh okay, I was searching for "GamePass OT" so that's why I couldn't find it, thanks!

Damn, this game looks fun. Must hold out and not buy premium access with only 2 days to go!

He seems to have a lot of fun with the combat, he was toying with 3 skulls enemies just earlier. Is he playing on hardest difficulty? I would imagine he is.

 

[Buggy Loop]

I have a feeling that if Elder scrolls 6 delivers in the full open world emergent gameplay as usual, peoples will complain that Avowed's combat was much better/fluid and they should have copied it Maybe microsoft should have the studios start sharing the cool parts between studios.

 

[DragoonKain]

I've heard many say wizard if the best play style and most powerful. Agree or disagree?

There isn't really classes in this game. You can mix the skills however you please. Personally I haven't been investing in magic. Just daggers, bows, rifles, and elemental grenades.

 

[Chuck Berry]

All these Dying Light mobility comparisons..

Is the jump button R1? Is there stamina? Do you see yourself pulling up onto ledges?

 

[Buggy Loop]

A lot of peoples recommend it yea. Mortismal's path of the damned build was wizard. Basically this is the best FPS wizard combat in an RPG ever. But plenty of builds work too, dual guns seem almost OP. But I like the flashy magic effects honestly, I'll have magic in my build for sure.

 

[Mister Wolf]

You don't lose stamina for sprinting, ledge grabbing is very generous, default jump is "A", movement and dodging is very quick.

Watching Shroud's stream, it looks so fucking good at night imo

The raytraced lighting is on point. My cousin tried it out on my rig and the first thing he said is the lighting looks real. It's crazy that Bethesda didn't implement raytraced lighting into their engine for Starfield. They are behind the times.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Level 7 at the moment. Dawning an axe that can freeze water. I can walk across the lake with it. That’s something TES needs. I’m also using a bow. Those level 11 enemies take a bit to down. The game feels great after a couple side quests. Best part is it’s much more rewarding during exploration than Veilguard was. I’m about over that entire game at this point. I just took out some crime boss and now their gang around the city ambushes me in random areas.

I’m liking the bow a lot more. I started with the wand. Placing points in Dex is a must. I can see why the developer said putting points in Dex is all you need to do.

I’m like some archer/warrior/minor missile character. I haven’t found a solid foot on what my class actually excels at. That’s why I’m dumping all my points in Dex for faster attacks.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

So is Rymrgand happy now that Reincarnation has been destroyed? Wouldnt factor in this somehow?

 

[Buggy Loop]

How is the game papis? Should I jump in for 1€ in pc Papipass?

 

[Mister Wolf]

I think these are some nice showcase of the raytraced lighting(Lumen)

 

[adamsapple]

Hopefully we're gonna see a lot more familiar in this OT once it unlocks for everyone

They freaking cooked compared to earlier graphics in trailers, jesus..

Game is bought on Steam, just waiting for Tuesday.

 

[LordCBH]

Ended up playing about 6-ish hours last night night after redeeming rewards points to get Xbox gift cards. Went with the Balanced graphics and clicked unlock framerate (series X version).

So far runs great, looks really damn good, and I’m having fun. Right now I’m using a big fuck off axe as a weapon, though I’ve tried others.

 

[balls of snow]

How can people say the game is just run kill loot when Dawntreader is one of the best sidequest I have played in a while. Moral dillema, heavy on lore, and so many dialogue choices. This is why I play wrpgs.

There's no drama in that

The game is available tomorrow by changing to New Zealand region most probably. I'll play it and post my impressions, I just got papipass on pc for very cheap

I though wolves generally avoid direct conflict with bears.

How do people like it so far? The reviews I saw seemed pretty consistent. Good solid game, but not a great game, and they expected a little more from Obsidian, but it was still fun to play even with its flaws.

Great use for the Xbox Elite controller shift function in this game. I set LB to shift, which when held down, changes the ABXY buttons to the directional pad shortcuts. I can do spells or commands while I keep moving with left stick.

I'm not 100% certain it has the new-zealand hack, the early access didn't at least, it was a global launch. Gonzito , you saw it somewhere that its a trick that will work?

Fucking hell, I just realized I didn't watch Fextralife's review

Well usually with many gamepass games it works like that. I have done it many times myself. Usually you just have to change the region of the computer settings and then it works. If I find out more information about Avowed's particular case I'll post it here
