There's no good reason why Avowed npc's stand around like useless mannequins let's be real here. Any excuse given is pure unbridled copium.

Well no, it still looks extremely dated and goofy to have an entire cities worth of npc's just stand there with nothing more than idle animations. Let alone there being next to no world interactivity, just walk up and steal whatever you want from the vendor! Who cares! He just stands with his idle sorting animation and pays no attention to anything happening anyways!

From what's being said, best educated guess is some combination of lack of time, skill, and making the game less resource intensive by sacrificing NPC path finding and physics

Man, I really don't care for these higher beings/Gods conversations in games. They are always so boring to listen to. I don't think the voices help either

Each god or whatever has their own godlikes that they create and they can talk to them in their mind. Usually, when you're sleeping at a campsite, the first few times were okay but they are just so circuitous and vague every damn time. It's annoying when you want to go to a campsite to upgrade your gear and you're forced to have one of these conversations.

I'm about 40+ hours in and I think I agree with the reviews 8/10 is about right for this game. Not a game of the generation but the gameplay is excellent and there's room for growth in sequel

A few things I would like to see them improve on:
-How they deliver their stories is really dry just like it was in Outer Worlds which I think in part is why people are kinda hoo hum about the story in the game. Luckily the other aspects make up for it IMO
-Character designs kinda tie into the former but I think they could really improve on this as well they don't look that great compared to the environments.
-I'm not the biggest fan of the gear upgrade system in this game. Sometimes it feels like I can never find the resources I need to upgrade my gear to the current level until I'm in the next location and the cycle restarts all over again. Though with enough persistence I can still fight my way through enemies even with lower-quality gear.
- Also they need to cut back on the Gods talking to you while you're in camp the first few times were okay but after a while I couldn't stand the voice talking to me lol
-The general things like a bigger world and a little more enemy variation wouldn't hurt
Otherwise, they have a solid foundation for an amazing sequel. The combat is some of the most fun I've had in a first-person RPG and I love exploring the world and finding every secret in every nook and cranny.

I'm still really early in the game but really enjoying it, and gamepass is really shining for me. I can go from playing natively on my computer to playing on my iPad or TV (both are now Xboxes in case you didn't get the memo, Xbox, coming to a toaster near you) and pick up right where I left off. So far there has been one line of woke shit that stood out like a sore thumb, I don't even remember the specifics, but my deep V neck blue friend made some gay comment.

I completed the game! I think I did just about everything in the game, aside from 1 or 2 side quests. The final boss was a cakewalk with a

Couple build questions:
1. I let my daughter drive the character creation most of the way, so naturally I look really dumb. Is there a way to change appearances in the game at some point or am I stuck with this giant nose?
2. How feasible is a battle wizard type build? I like melee and I like the spells, but they seem to not compliment each other much.

How long is it? Seems not overly bloated.

1. I believe you can't change your characters' appearance outside of their outfits as of right now.
2. In my playthrough, I mostly went mellee/range, but I think you can do ok. Magic/range probably is a better fit if you're looking to just use one loadout throughout the game. Get the

Took me about 56 hours, and I did just about everything in the game, aside from 1 or 2 sidequests. If you just play the main campaign it's not that long. It takes about 15 hours or so.

My advice for the best weapons in the game
Don't skip the starforge quest. Each region has a starforge fragment for you to collect. In the final region a vendor named Dela can forge either a sword or a rifle that are both the best weapons in the game. If you get all 4 fragments you can upgrade both weapons in there strongest forms. I went with the rifle and upgraded it to the Heavenstrike and rhe rest of the game was a cakewake

Arise thread! Finally about to get to the 4th area. I'm playing about an hour a night most nights. I'm grimacing at the idea that some random decision I made somewhere along the way is going to ruin the ending I want. Ever since the Witcher 3 gave me a bad ending for telling Ciri not to steal horses and that it's okay to be sad when a friend dies, RPGs like this leave me paranoid.
- Platforms
That's why I've never actually completed Witcher 3 and a lot of other RPGs because of random shit like that. I can understand clear approaches to situations, even hinted approaches to solving something. This? You might as well roll a dice to decide.

Telltale games did that after decisions that impact the story. There was a message popping up "x will remember that".
- Platforms
I was making fun of the "your choices have consequences", but you have no idea what the outcome will be later so it's not really a choice from Telltale Games games. "Clementine will remember that."

That's why i absolutely love decent RPG's, for me i don't care about the good or bad ending, its all about the journey and unique experience of the game.
When i started Baldur's Gate 3 i was looking up all the outcomes in case i messed something up completely but after 10 or so hours in the game i completely stopped that and would just go with whatever the outcome was as it made it more fun to have my own journey in that world rather that bending the world to get the outcome that i wanted.
Its even easier now as whatever the ending of your RPG and if its a 100+ hour game that you dont want to revisit for a time you can check the alternate endings on YouTube.
