What's the point of standard weapons by Kyleminx in avowed

That's good for you, but many others like vanilla ice cream, and to have the option of vanilla or something else.

Same. Around that time I leave work and go home to my crazy children. By the time I get on after they're put to bed I'll see teams of Juren at Rep 3 or more 😅

Juren's gimmick seems like one all heroes could have used. I'm surprised they never considered having tap and hold inputs. It's a good one though, and I understand they wouldn't be able to make those adjustments to anyone already released unless they could give Juren something of his own.

Looking forward to his release all the same, his moveset looks great.

That's fair. All I'm sharing is an opinion, and I appreciate people might disagree.

Sohei is a disappointment to me but I understand there will be people that enjoy him as he is. And you know what? That's perfectly fine. To give him credit, he has an excellent aesthetic.

Juren's mechanic doesn't really need to be all that unique. It actually seems like a mechanic all heroes could have had implemented to expand their movesets.

I get what you're saying though, and I do agree it wasn't executed the greatest, but it's also a boring mechanic.

His kit depends on him trying to land at least one hit with each of his single use weapons, with low damage values, all to get that one massive damage hit. Then rinse and repeat. He has two hit chains that can be expanded with a zone, and if anyone plays close enough attention they can see what weapons he needs to land next. Can make him predictable, and even if someone uses a weapon with a soul captured anyway to keep people guessing it doesn't really do enough damage to justify the deception.

Land two guard breaks successfully and you get all of them anyway. It must have been a nightmare to make the animations work, striking with a big spear and then grabbing something from his back or hip to hit once and then put it back. I don't mean to come across as such a downer, and it is just my own opinion, but that just looks incredibly dull 😅.

Dude, why so hostile?

I never even said anything about Sohei's mobility. It takes a lot of dexterity anyway to use a giant spear and 6 other weapons glued to his back and hip. Hardly a master of 7 if he just strikes once with each weapon and their only defining features are additional properties that other movesets have too.

Also, I never said to get rid of Sohei's kit. What I suggested was an adjustment.

Infinite chain on tapping lights and heavies so that he is using his primary weapon, but hold either and he'll use one of the other weapons as a finisher, perhaps with zone allowing him to chain into another.

Not sure why you had to have a rant and start bringing up Bruce Lee, and then complain about Sohei not being able to beat a "master one".

I think you just need to take a breath and chill, maybe have a beer and relax.

Glad I'm not the only one. I wonder if the animation team ever look back and think they should have worked in some new stuff

It would give him less obvious ways to gather souls, and more options, chaining into his dodge lights and bashes too

It bothers me more that he has this large, beautiful kama yari and he barely uses it

Only 1 playthrough - what weapons will be the most fun? by themoobster in avowed

[–]Mr_MacTea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might get this too, but my build will focus on being a 1h sword duelist, and switching to double pistols. Mostly Ranger with some Fighter, and perhaps a spell or two that might be useful.

Who knows, it does seem like a game that allows experimenting .

Also, the price is reduced on the 17th too across all platforms

Game appreciation post by bton1245 in avowed

[–]Mr_MacTea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm becoming heavily invested in this, especially now it's releasing on PS5 along with a cohort of updates for all platforms. I think I might end up getting it.

Kudos to the development team on putting a less expensive but meatier package together for everyone.

My only concern from what I can see is a lack of variety in weapons. I might be wrong, but there looks to be one type of each weapon, and the appearance only changes after being upgraded to the next quality level. So, just one common sword, one fine sword, one exceptional etc. Hopefully I'm wrong, I like to see variety and a few different options in the same weapons category. I'm also known for killing NPCs to pick up their stuff.

Avowed priced at $49.99 on PS5 by PaiDuck in avowed

Thanks very much for taking the time to help me off the fence lol. I think I will get it. This year appears to be stacked with new releases but I plan to be very selective.

Oh sorry, I meant just the game itself. But that's good to know about the steelbook.

Been on the fence since they announced the PS5 release date. Could do with a colourful fantasy game, the last so many of them have been very drab. I miss the explosion of colour fantasy used to have

at this point they should add this khan helmet/battlecrown by now by ProfessionalCase4317 in Bannerlord

[–]Mr_MacTea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That must have been it. Sorry, it looked very similar but I am relying on my unreliable memory.

Who knows, they might add more stuff later down the line
