    Skyrim is one of the best games. Avowed looks similar but prettier and less janky. The comparison is giving it positive attention.

      I always felt like Skyrim was… fine. People lost their minds about it but I never thought it was actually that good.

        I played it at a lan party when it first came out. We all had a blast and after a day of playing we had wildly different stories and experiences.

        Its an awesome game, and with mods you could get another games worth of fun out of it IMHO, but I don’t think its the end game of games like they treat it. It can be better (mods show just some of that potential), and they’re are other games.

    If they made the same exact game as Skyrim, but in a modern engine that wasn’t built on a sandy foundation, it would already be a better game.

    It shouldn’t be hard to replicate the good while removing the bad. And yet I’ve yet to see it actually happen.

      I dropped it after the first planet, it just never really clicked. I’m hoping Avowed doesn’t give me the same reaction.

      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

    Skyrim is an awful game, I hope Avowed will become it’s own thing instead of being compared to that garbage game
