I'm going to play it, but I'm certainly not buying it for 70€.

Yea this game is a 3+ years down the road for me kinda game. I also want to play the pillars games first even if I don't HAVE to.

I expect Avowed to be a worse game than PoE 2 for my taste, which is one of my favourite games of all time! Definitely worth playing those, especially since Avowed is set only a few years after PoE 2.

I was really scratching my head trying to figure out how Avowed and Path of Exile 2 are connected.... 😄

It's indeed pretty unfortunate that Path of Exile and Pillars of Eternity have the exact same initials, but I thought it's clear in this context!

I've only completed the first Pillars game and it's an ok game.

A bit linear for a crpg in my opinion, but the story is pretty good. Like, you only really have a couple of choices that have any consequenses.

So not top tier rpg, but ok. But that's just my unsolicited two cents.

Yeah, I've heard it's more oblivion than pillars. t's not gonna be worth more than $30 if that's true, probably closer to 50 if it's actually a decent pillars game.

It's pretty much impossible to replicate the tactical combat of an isometric CRPG in a first person game, so yeah, it's definitely more similar to a Elder Scrolls. Though it looks like the combat in Avowed is at least somewhat intricate and entertaining, a low bar that Elder Scrolls games keep missing.
