        What makes it slop?

        The game was finished, which is unfortunately not the norm. It is not AI or even procgen content. It has a focused (if meh) story, graphics and mechanics are solid, it isn’t some sprawling mass open world with a billion fetch quests.

        It’s hardly an inspiring game but it certainly is a complete, focused piece that many people have enjoyed. It’s the happy B student in the class.

        So again: what makes it slop?

              Other than interacting with Kai everything else sounds like it was written by GPT3.o

                christ dude are you gonna actually be specific at any point in this? That’s your case? “I liked talking to one NPC rest is AI”?

                Fine then, your opinion is noted and clearly representative of a very, very small minority. Have a good rest of your day. Case closed lmao

                  Literally the first dialogue with Garryck. It’s like it was Va’d by different people depending on your answers.

                  “That’s the imperial envoy you’re talking to, show some respect” - lol perfect deadpan delivery, emotional delivery is for losers.

                  And that’s before mentioning all the other missing perks of past obsidian games, like the interactivity of the world. It’s like a single player shooter stuck in an MMO world.

                  But good for you, you like it, all 4 of you.

                    I don’t understand why people have such a myopic view of games these days. They’re either God’s gift to gamers or absolute dog shit that people should be executed for.

                    Avowed received decent, not terrible or great reviews. But for you it’s basically Too Human it sounds like. You’re just too blinded by the need to slot games as a 10 or a 1 and can’t be bothered to consider nuance.

                    Anyway you have failed to give any evidence for why this is “AI slop.“ You just think it’s a bad game. That’s not the same thing. You’re entitled to your opinion but to think it was generated by AI is, frankly, way too generous towards AI. You clearly think it’s way more capable than it is. Because if you think that Avowed is so bad that it falls to that level, then you just don’t have any perspective.
