Avowed is the most fun I’ve have had since Skyrim!
I’ve played Avowed for 15 hours, and this is the most fun I’ve had in an RPG since Skyrim released. It might not be as good as Skyrim, but it has a very similar feel for me, and I’ve encountered zero bugs so far. I’m having an absolute blast!
If you like RPGs, I highly recommend giving it a try. It’s included in Game Pass, so there’s no reason not to check it out!

Loving it so far as well. I really hope it gets the modding support that Skyrim has. It will be a loooooong stay game for me if it does.
I'm not holding breath. Outer Worlds could have had good mod support too but the company never got around to it.
Avowed does seem to be better received and more popular than Outer Worlds, so we can hope.
Outer worlds was received perhaps even better and was more popular than Avowed is currently. People’s memories are fuzzy I guess but Outer Worlds was a genuine GOTY contender.
I'm surprised it was so well reviewed, I remember being very disappointed with it. Everything felt so small, and shallow.
Yeah that doesn't track at all with what I remember people saying, and what I remember thinking myself.
I distinctly remember people citing the repetitive gameplay, short campaign, shallow choices, etc. I'm not sure why it was ever a GOTY contender, but there simply never was any way it would ever beat a game like Sekiro. It's likely that "new Obsidian RPG" drove any hype surrounding the game.
Edit: Disco Elysium came out in 2019, that fact alone tells you that Outer Worlds being a contender was uhh... if not fraudulent, then certainly questionable.
Disco Elysium isn't everyone's cup of tea. It certainly wasn't mine. And I love Outer Worlds.
It sold 4 million copies. The press lathered it with praise as a lot of major media outlets gave it 9s.

I'm sorry but I genuinely don't care what game journalists think. Their opinions are about as valuable as mud, and at least I can grow plants from mud.
Every single discussion I see searching up on Google 'is Outer Worlds good' are sponsored reviews from people who got the game for free, or B average reviews from people who got the game for dirt cheap. When I find what real people have to say about Outer Worlds, it's almost unanimous that it was bad.
Don’t apologize for having an opinion. Just apologize for discounting the ones that don’t agree with yours. It’s listed as very positive on Steam and sold very well. Your hyperbole about everyone saying it was bad is provably wrong.
If I can get Skyrim level titty modding I’ll be happy
