I do find the exploration in Avowed to be rewarding, and those items you pick up and a few sentences on a note are exactly the same as what I tend to find in Skyrim, with lore that’s marginally more interesting; I’m kind of surprised that you find them to be meaningfully different and better in Skyrim. The thing that Avowed solves by being a smaller game is that when I find a dungeon, it doesn’t feel like the last three dungeons I explored, because they didn’t need to make as many of them, so they could spend more time making that one dungeon.
Fair enough. The Outer Worlds definitely felt to me like it was as long as it needed to be and no longer, and that’s pretty rare these days, as so many games are ballooning in runtime.

Ya know, it also might be that the lore of avowed just seems too bubly and colorful for me.
I enjoyed obsidians other recent rpg, the outer worlds, enough to finish it, i just thought it was too short.
So yeah there definitely are too many variables here to pinpoint exactly why a game resonates with someone or not.
