It's easy to set unrealistic expectations, especially when it comes to the things you love. When I hear the words 'Obsidian Entertainment' and 'first-person RPG,' my mind wants to believe that Avowed will be a mash-up of Fallout: New Vegas, Skyrim, and Baldur's Gate 3. Let me preface this by saying that no one ever suggested this was going to be the case, but it's important to remember how quickly some people create unrealistic expectations. Now that I've played through the first two hours of Avowed, I have a much better idea about what this game is and what it's trying to accomplish.
