Comment on Anon makes a modern game
TTH4P@lemm.ee 4 days agoI agree with you, the remaster looks really nice. I dont feel it’s washed-out at all. The only thing that freaks me out a little is how every NPC’s mouth is a little too wide for their face now. Just a little.

For some reason the games difficulty being lowered dramatically has made me more judge mental of the graphics upgrade. Like they should only upgrade the graphics if they are going to get the gameplay right.
I did fix the difficulty thing with a mod though so its not like its unplayable.

It’s been almost 20 years since I’ve played the original, so I may be misremembering its difficulty. I remember it being super easy to cheese everything, just like in the remaster. Really, I don’t have a high opinion of vanilla combat in any of the Elder Scrolls games. I think Avowed did an excellent job of showing how FPS RPG combat can be accomplished well.

Loved Avowed, definitely great. Not perfect, but made me forget my worries while I played it. I went dual pistols, you?

Yeah, Avowed definitely has its flaws in other areas of the game, but its combat was a lot of fun, in my opinion. I really think it got way more hate than it deserved. I’m the same way when reviewing games: If it’s fun enough to make me look forward to playing it the next day and I forget about the real world a little bit while I’m playing, then I feel like it accomplished its purpose.
I started out as 2h hammer, but ultimately did shield and 1h axe. I’d probably do a magic centric run next if I ever do a replay, as the magic system did feel pretty good whenever I’d use it as my off-hand.
