Obsidian seems scared people will compare Avowed to Skyrim, but it shouldn't be—the similarities are obvious, but the differences make it compelling

Bethesda's RPG looms large over Obsidian's latest, but having played it, there's no need to shrink from the comparison.

    If you’re gonna make an open world first person fantasy game, it’s gonna get compared to Skyrim no matter who you are

    Lmao is it built on an engine that was a decade old two decades ago and held together with duct tape and a rainbow coalition of unofficial patches? I think Avowed will do just fine.

    Weird. It reminded me of Outer Worlds (an Obsidian game)

      Decent game but very short and not much to do in it

        I liked it a lot, although the DLCs were far more memorable than the base game.

          Ah, didn’t know it had DLC. I just picked up a base copy from my local library

      which was like fallout which is already sci-fi skyrim, but with characters and plot inspired by firefly to add that teaspoon of space cowboy to make the medicine go down or something

    I’m pretty sure Microsoft invited the comparison by letting people believe this would be “their Elder Scrolls” before they just bought Elder Scrolls.
