Avowed has, from day one, felt like a game that's going to be largely ignored, and live out its life as a niche title for RPG fans. I'll wait and see what people say before even considering jumping in, even though jumping in means little more than "take game pass for a month".
 
Just a heads up, there is a controversy surrounding the Art Director for the game. Unfortunately since the majority of the media covering the topic quickly goes into topics related to P&R, I do not encourage discussion of it here. But if you find a source that manages to stay on point without going into a P&R related material, feel free to post it and we will moderate accordingly to make sure things stay on the rails.

The art director is trying to pick a fight with the online anti-woke mob, where I think that would probably have been entirely avoidable. The game features choices in your pronouns, which isn't something to get so worked up about, but very vocal people are being very loud about it.

It's a lesson to game developers I suppose. Maybe don't always talk to your (supposed) audience, and just release your game with the marketing it needs.
 
As long as "normal" people are interested in avowed, the noise generated by the terminally online culture warriors won't matter.

Anyway, the previews from the press/influencers seems to be really positive, so I'm looking forward to playing it.
