Obsidian seems scared people will compare Avowed to Skyrim, but it shouldn't be—the similarities are obvious, but the differences make it compelling (www.pcgamer.com)

I always felt like Skyrim was... fine. People lost their minds about it but I never thought it was actually that good.

Yeah, vanilla was kinda meh. It was hilariously breakable and infinitely moddable though.

I played it at a lan party when it first came out. We all had a blast and after a day of playing we had wildly different stories and experiences.

Its an awesome game, and with mods you could get another games worth of fun out of it IMHO, but I don't think its the end game of games like they treat it. It can be better (mods show just some of that potential), and they're are other games.
