    I feel like the mage may finally make me use the extra buttons on my mouse! But the delay was a bummer, but will allow them to polish the game each time people tear apart the footage obsidian has addressed the issues. So I feel like they will use the time to polish and use the community input.

    Regarding performance: I'm pretty sure (just from the footage in the video) that the game is using some kind of real time raytracing. This might be software or hardware based, I don't know that. But real time lighting of that quality level is still quite expensive and not perfectly implemented in many engines.
    There are a few other things that might lead to the bad performance, but I'd bet that the lighting is a large chunk of the cost.

    Didn't even know this game was a thing. POE 1&2 are some of my favorite games I've played in the last decade. The story and world stuck with me long after I finished them. I not sure I'm liking the feel and look of this one. I've never been a fan of the floating damage numbers in a single player game. Also, get a MMO style mouse and the 1-9 keys for casting will never be an issue....

    I can see why people are comparing this to KCD2 (release date, first person perspective, RPG), but the settings are so different, I think the comparison is apples to oranges.
    KCD2 is in a purely historical fiction, medieval setting with only two combat elements for them to get right: melee and crossbows / early firearms.
    Avowed is in a fantasy setting with gods, monsters, and magic. They have to combine not only melee and ranged weapons, but also a variety of spell effects and the ability to mix and match.
    It just seems obvious to me that one of those two combat systems (and worlds) would be a lot easier to perfect and get running smoothly.

Also, some news outlets would probably go out of their way to break the game to generate traffic

I was playing aveum and it had the same thing, it was SO extremely annoying. This is why I'm happy to use a g502 and really dislike the trend with the super light mice not having any extra buttons. Generally I will have dodge or some other ability on my mouse, and then the remaining 4 extra buttons, plus the scroll wheel left and right, gives me 6 custom keymaps to place skills etc on. But even then, some of those buttons aren't the most convenient ones. And if you're mapping 1 to 6 for example, it's annoying because now I need to remember which button is what number

    Really seems like they need to ramp up the mage damage. What would you play it for, with a non-regenerating recource that binds you to mana potions/certain trinkets, when you can do tons of damage for 'free' stamina as a martial build ? Speaking of which, I love the Godless Executioner´s great sword, nice late medieval/rennaissance crossguard. I see my pet peeve - nice looking, believable swords, might be addressed here. Praise the sun !
    Also, on a side note: You DON`T need to be a pro to use spells set to the number keys at all ! Just HACK the system, by using a thumb grid mouse. Trust me, I put everything there.
    Kicks, Ultimates, Spells, potions, even running or vaulting.
    Started to use those for MMOs, obviously, fell in love with having 12 extra buttons for things I explicitely don´t want to take my damn fingers from WASD from !
    Use a thumb grid mouse for EVERY action RPG possible, including old-school ARPGs or Elder Scrolls etc. It is good !
    Just not for Souls-likes, they are the exception. Why can´t I bind all actions to keys, Miyazaki ? What the hell ?

      stealth/ranger is your slow moving, no companion, Glass Cannon.
      You get more re-playability from a game sticking to a dedicated class and having to adapt to the strengths and weaknesses of a build rather than just having a build thats min/maxed to the hilt.

      I came to the video looking for footage or information about this. There is a very short footage of the 3rd person perspective in a recent trailer but in it the character is moving very slowly and looking around the wall of a cave. We can barely see how good the animations are, but the slight movement they do seems kinda junky. We need more footage

      Well every game is NOT FOR YOU. They don't put their passion into games to make everything about what @TheXiconhoca wants. From a design and artistic standpoint trying to design for two totally differe game modes is stupid and I hate that attitudes like yours exist because you force devs to cater to a mode that they know is totally against their vision and ends up chipping at both modes.

    It's crazy that they decided performance should take a backseat after we have seen developers get shut down entirely after putting out games with poor performance; because they are not salvegable after people already decided they suck.
    Even crazier still that they apparently made the decision to not care about performance very early on: they set a target for 30fps with no intention of going to 60.
    It's so wild. It's like they are stuck in 2009 or something. I wonder if they understand this will cost them a lot of players that would have otherwise been interested. I am one of them. Easy pass for me.

    I am happy to hear that the Avowed is staying true visibly and story wise. Back to visually, I think what is chuging the FPS is all the attention to detail visually. For the programmers I hope they can fix that and have the game able to run at 60fps or higher BEFORE launch. I would love for RPG that I play to have an amazing battle tactics, to it, that is complementary to the world it is based in. What I am getting at is games like the Witcher and "I" would say like Hogwarts Legacy, because in that game there is a counter spell for spells going in your direction and for mini bosses you can potentially wipe the floor with them if you time your counter attack correctly. I love Tactics and counter attacks that both the player and enemy can use if possible. Now, Now, that is just my thoughts flowing out of me freely but really I am grateful and MORE grateful that Avowed is true to Pilers of Eternity Deadfire Narratively, visibly, audibly etc etc woop woop

    I'm not a fan of the UI, gives me a headache. Although, this game looks 50x better than anything Bethesda has recently released it still has that microsoft generic look to it, also not a fan. I will still probably pick this up eventually and maybe mod the UI if vortex can fix itself by then.

    I feel mixed. I’m totally bought in on the vision and direction for the game. But the combat footage looks way to BUSY. The damage indicators feel off and too large. Obsidian also mentioned this game will be the same size as Outer Worlds (which was not big enough and far too empty). I wanna believe, I just think we’ll have to see.

I never play these sort of games for the combat mechanics (heck, I don't even particularly like the combat in Pillars of Eternity 2) so the fact that they are clunky doesn't bother me - I'll be there for the story and dialogue and all that good RP stuff. Plus, I'll be picking it up for the PC so hopefully the framerate issues won't affect me as much.

    I got used to Elder Scrolls combat as a way to push the story I was role-playing in the universe, and a fun opportunity to experiment with its systems, even though it is not good. As long as this game has that expansive world where you can role-play your character and find your own story, I can forgive the suboptimal combat. If the world is bland like some of Obsidian's have been (ex: The Outer Worlds), I'm definitely going to feel aggravated by the combat.
    So yes, I'm now a bit more cautious about this game, and will wait for more in-depth reviews that touch on the role-playing systems and lore, otherwise likely getting it when it's on sale.

    My biggest gripe currently is that they've opted for three fantasy trope classes instead of the range of creative classes they could have chosen from the pillars series. Cipher for example is super thematic, cool conceptually and mechanically, and it ties in to the world building. Chanter would be awesome too. Monk and barbarian sound tropey but in pillars they had really cool execution too IMO
